About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and I’ve always had a passion for pets. I’ve rescued numerous animals in and around my neighbourhood, including two baby squirrels, and cared for and reunited them with their owners. I am happy to care for cats and dogs with different needs and will try my best to accommodate. I currently work part-time and have a young child. However, I love animals and will accommodate as much as I can to ensure that they’re in safe, loving hands. I offer care in pet owners home and will always ensure that the owners rules are followed. In my own home we have baby gates, doors and a large fenced garden to ensure the safety of your animal.

“This was our first experience with a outsider dog sitter, Usually use family but was unable to this time. Was a little apprehensive at first, but all was great. Jack was absolutely fantastic with Eva....he stayed at ours to sit Eva for 10 nights. He kept me updated daily on how she was doing and the things she was upto. She grew a very special bond quickly with Jack which was surprising with her being a rescue dog. Usually takes her a while, but within two meet and greets with him she was smitten. She actually seemed rather sad when he left 😔 😔 Jack will always be our go-to dog sitter in the future while Eva is still with us. 10/10 service.......thanks Jack.”

“Alex looked after our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. We left home feeling completely confident that they were in safe and capable hands. Alex is enthusiastic, trustworthy, and immediately puts you at ease. He kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.”

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with three dogs and now have a cat, so I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and sticking to their usual routine. I work from home, so I'm flexible and reliable. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or medication, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. I work from home full-time, so I'm really flexible when it comes to drop-in visits. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends, and fitting visits into my day is no problem. I’ll make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you’re away and keep to their normal routine as much as possible. That means feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, dog walks, and some playtime or cuddles depending on what they like. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions and take my time with them so they feel relaxed and safe. I’m also happy just to sit with them for company if that’s what they prefer.

“Megan looked after our dog, Meg, when we went away for a few days. Meg has never been left at home or in kennels when we’ve been away and at 13 years of age we didn’t fancy putting her in kennels - she’s quite an anxious dog! Megan came to our house and we went for a couple of walks so Meg could get to know Megan so even before we went away we were comfortable with our choice. Megan sent regular updates while we were away and Meg was absolutely fine when we got back - no anxiety because she’d been in her own environment. Megan is lovely; she loves dogs ♥️and we have absolutely no worries about leaving Meg in her care again. Definitely recommended 5* 😊”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! Experience from looking after young animals to older! My family has recently got a puppy that requires lots and training and looking after! Check out my new instagram: ryans_petcare I currently work full-time in the Civil Service, and while I’m relatively new to offering pet sitting professionally, I have plenty of genuine, hands-on experience with animals. I’ve had cats throughout different stages of my life and recently raised a kitten from 8 weeks old, who is now 2 years old. I’ve also spent time around dogs of different sizes and temperaments, helping with walks, playtime and general care. I’m currently building my pet care business alongside my full-time job, with the long-term goal of making it my full-time career. I’m passionate about providing reliable, caring and personalised care for local pets, while giving owners peace of mind that their animals are happy, safe and well looked after. As I grow the business, I’m also committed to developing my knowledge and skills by gaining further qualifications and undertaking relevant training in animal care. I want to continue learning and improving so I can provide the highest possible standard of care to every pet I look after. For now, I’m looking to fill my evenings and weekends by helping local owners and giving their cats and dogs the company, routine and reassurance they need while their owners are away. When I’m looking after a pet, I will focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I’ll follow the feeding schedule you set, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get the right balance of play, attention, and quiet time. For dogs, that includes regular walks, toilet breaks, and sticking to any training or boundaries you already use. For cats, I’ll handle litter changes, feeding, playtime, and give them space if they’re shy or prefer independence.

“Vic was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog! From the start, communication was clear and organised and I received regular updates and photos while I was away. I returned home to a happy pup and a spotless house. I couldn't recommend Vic highly enough and will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since I was 6 and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, from feeding and walks to playtime and keeping them company. It’s actually looking after their pets that gave me the idea to start pet sitting for others. I’m also a pet owner myself and have had my two cats for the past two years. I make sure they have everything they need, including fresh water, stimulating toys and an automatic feeder. My cats can also be kept completely separate from any pets I look after, so every animal can have their own comfortable space and feel happy and settled. I’m naturally caring and attentive and would treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I currently part-time and do university, so quite flexible with my schedule.I am completely free on weekends also. I also live with my partner, who is a huge animal lover and can help with care when needed. We can offer a flexible routine with plenty of attention, play and company for your pet. I’m very happy to look after both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up around both and regularly care for dogs through friends and family, so I’m comfortable with their different needs, routines and personalities. I live in a two-bedroom flat where my two cats have their own separate room, so visiting pets can have the rest of the home to themselves without needing to share space with my cats. I take a lot of care with my own cats, including providing a water fountain, multiple food and water bowls, an automatic feeder, wet food twice a day, interactive toys, dental sticks and plenty of treats. I also have a cat tree, cooling mat and a pet camera so I can keep an eye on them when I’m at work. I even put bird and wildlife programmes on the TV for them as they love watching them! I’m very happy to provide the same level of care and attention to visiting pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and entertained.

“Alicia was amazing with our two labradors, looked after them so well and the house was spotless when we got home. She is really friendly and great with communication. Will definitely be asking Alicia to look after our boys again and would highly recommend her.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since birth – we’ve had two Labradors and two Sprockers with my parents – so I’m used to zoomies, sock thefts and muddy walks! I regularly look after my aunt and uncle’s Springer, Rafa. While I was living in Manchester, I met Luna the sausage dog through BorrowMyDoggy. I looked after her most weeks – I still see her now, even after moving back to Sheffield! I’ve got loads of hands-on experience with cats and horses too, I’ll be your pups new BFF. I work full time 9-5 but can be flexible with hours and often work from home. Let me know what works best for your dog and I’ll slot in! I’ll keep your home sparkling clean (no muddy paws or mess on my watch, pinky promise!) and your pup safe, happy, and spoiled with treats. I treat your space like it’s my own. Pawrents can expect plenty of pupdates whilst away!

About: I have had experience with cats and dogs on and off my whole life. I had a cat (Tinkerbell) when I was younger and more recently my brother and sister in law gained three beautiful dogs ( two cavapoos and a dachshund) a tortoise called Sheldon and 5 chickens. I have helped look after all these for them and I absolutely love it .I would love my own dog but can't at present due to work/family commitments. However I would love to take care of one in my free time. I live alone majority of the time, but co parent my children. The availability I offer is based on work and my child free days. My hobbies are walking, reading and spending time with my partner and friends. Im Very excited and can't wait to meet your beloved doggies ☺️ I work from home on a Thursday and Friday so these and the weekend would be the days I would be mostly available. I have a lunch break and will work downstairs so I can attend to the animals needs and extra cuddles ☺️ I own my home and have no pets currently. I share custody of my three daughters but the availability will be based on when I don't have them. I have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for them. I'm not a ornament/trinket kind of gal so they have pretty much free reign downstairs and outside.

“Marie looked after Ruby for us overnight. She kept us up to date with what was going on and sent photos. Ruby had a lovely time and even missed her when she left!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including rescues with nervous and anxious personalities. I’ve owned a Bulldog and now have a Newfoundland, giving me plenty of experience with different temperaments, large and giant breeds. I’m patient, confident and always adapt my care to each individual dog’s needs. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention, walks, playtime and regular toilet breaks. I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I’m experienced with nervous dogs and large breeds and prioritise safety.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals. From cats and dogs, to chickens, horses and even some cows. My parents didn’t let us opt out of cleaning up either so there’s not much mess which bothers me. Since I was 16 I’ve been taking care of the local communities pets including puppies and giant (fluffy!) wolf dogs. Any pet, no matter the size or age I’m happy to care for. Now I’m away from home I miss the presence of pets in my life so will be more than happy to take any hours necessary. I’m currently working on my writing, working freelance while I search for a full time job now that I’ve graduated. Very available and flexible ‘z I love going on long walks with my puppies, potentially feeding too many treats (but out of love) and giving lots of cuddles. With cats I am very good at reading their signals, whether they want lots of attention and play or a bit of space, I’m happy to oblige!

About: My family has had a variety of different small dogs, so there are many behaviors of dogs that I can quickly pick up on what they are trying to say. My former pets always liked to sleep with me and I didn't mind this behavior from my pets, and I used to babysit various kittens for friends, which made me a lover of pet care and enjoy it. I'm currently tasked with editing my dissertation at home, so I have plenty of time to play with my pets! I am flexible with the time I have at my disposal each week. The home we live in now has good light and an open fenced yard not on the road with catnip plants that the cats will love, which makes the neighbor's cats always enjoy visiting the yard. There is a large lawn and park right outside the house for dog walking and if pet owners need any additional pet care services, I will do my best to accommodate them. I am currently working on my dissertation at home all day and I have plenty of free time to play with your puppy or cat and time is freely available, so book now. I live in a house with a small fenced yard and there is a large park near the house for dog walking, so if there is anything extra you need just let me know!

“We’ve had Viktoria look after our dogs many times, and we always rebook her when we need someone to take wonderful care of our pups. Viktoria is always warm, communicative, affectionate with the dogs, tidy, and responsible. We’ll happily have her back again x”

About: DBS checked & full clean driving license!
Growing up with German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, I’ve spent my life understanding the needs of larger breeds. Having recently moved from Ireland to the UK, I’m currently without a dog of my own, so I am eager to provide high-quality care and companionship to yours! My experience is extensive, including raising two rescue dogs and sitting for various breeds, from high-energy Collies to powerful Rottweilers. I am very comfortable with nervous temperaments and am fully capable of following strict medical routines if required.
Alongside doggies, I have extensive experience with cats & smaller animals too ~ no spiders though, sorry🙈
Daily Routine & Exercise
Currently, I work full time, but it won't stop me working my schedule around your needs! Happy to commute from your house if you need me for sits, very flexible overall despite my job commitments.
Afternoons / evenings, mornings I will be free too. I can provide a structured day with at 60-120 minute walks, or longer!, tailored to your dog’s fitness level—whether that’s a local stroll or a longer hike. I love getting out into woods & parks.
If you are looking for house sits, I am happy to change my schedule and commute to work from your home. Whatever works for you I'm sure I can accommodate your needs.
Home Environment & Safety
I have a shy indoor cat, so currently not taking home boardings. I am a car owner with a clean license, so I am always prepared for emergencies or urgent vet visits. Safety is my top priority; I stick to leash-only walks in public (off lead experienced too, if your pet prefers) and I can help with training too if needed.
Trust & Communication
I am "always on my phone" and love taking photos, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend is having a great time!

On request I will considering boarding, with my shy inexperienced cat it will depend on the dogs age & temperament . Home visits I have many reviews on Pawshake for this, I am dependable and always leave the premise safe & secure. I’m on time for visits & spend as much time as I can with said cat or dog!
