“Victoria looked after tc for me on the 15th and 16th August and did a fantastic job she also was really friendly and loved tc to bits I can't thank her enough and will definitely be using voctoria again and would 100 percent recommend her for anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”

“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: Live just across the road from woods. Love walking, love petting animals Cat is very placid and would be great, if the dog or cat is fine with cats.. looking forward to taking good care of your animal.. giving it lots of fuss and attention and nice walks. My cat is called kitty she’s a Turkish angoran and just loves sleeping a lot, and chilling out. She is totally fine with other animals.. We also used to have a Welsh cocker called scooby, who was very lively, and loved walking for miles... I am very flexible and I love going out in the woods so looking after your pet would be a wonderful experience. Looking forward to hearing from you soon..... Michelle and Kitty xx I work night shifts sleeping at work in Sheffield 3 days a week, so have all my days free.. I do do some car sitting visits as well during the day I have a big back garden, fully fenced off And I’m just across the road from the woods, so would be great for dog walking

About: I have a pet dog who we raised back home in the south who I raised since he was 6 weeks. We trained him to do above average levels of commands until his illness took root and we had to reduce the exercise he had. But always able to provide fun and friendly care for animals! I’m currently not working so I’m available all day and weekends of daycare, boarding or pet sitting. I’m an outdoorsy person and couple so walks will always be common with any services. I have a ground floor pet friendly apartment with a riverside greenery area just outside common with city suburbs dog walkers for socialising, walks and playtime
“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 have 4 pets, 1 dog and 3 cats. I am used to a bit of mess and no one day is the same in my household, so I can handle any kind of situation or trouble. I’m currently staying at home, as I recently graduated from university, so I am free to take care of animals and am free for mostly all of my week. As it is stated on my profile, I cannot home board any more pets but I am more than willing to stay at someone else’s house and take care of pets or I’m more than happy to regularly check in on Pets that I am assigned to take care of.
About: I always wanted dogs growing up, and have often cared for friends’ pets when needed, and when I moved to Whiston I finally got the chance to have one full time - my ex-partner’s family dog needed to move, and we took him in. As we’re no longer together I don’t have him any more, and I would love to be able to give the care and attention to pets who need a home from home. I’m comfortable administering mediation (the dog mentioned took 4 different tablets, twice a day) and promise to always provide them with as many walks, playtime and treats as they want (treats within moderation obviously)! My work is hybrid so I’m able to be at home a lot, and I would never commit to taking in a pet if there was a chance I couldn’t be at home with them all the time. When working from home I can be flexible to ensure I can match your pets normal routine as closely as possible. They’ll also provide me with the perfect distraction to procrastinate! Although the back garden is unfenced, I would never leave your pet there unsupervised. I do have a fenced and gated front driveway. I would stick to your usual routine as closely as possible - pets are allowed wherever they are comfiest in my house, so they’d have full and complete roam of the house to make sure they found their most comfy spot! I’ll send photos and updates every day to let you know how they’re doing and what we’ve been up to for your peace of mind!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 14. I was the neighbourhood/ family friend dog sitter. Pet sitting in their homes as well as dog walking I was the go to girl. I have an older frenchie, who is crate trained and low energy 90% of the time (loves play and snoozing). If your animals do not get on with others, he has an alternate owner to stay with. Please just let me know. I work from home permanently so your pets needs will fit into my work schedule very easily. Whether I am pet sitting in your home or dropping by my full attention will be to your animals. If your dogs are ok with others, Charlie would love a park play date / walk. If he is welcome to sleep over he is strictly crate trained and will be dropped home after breakfast and morning walks. Let me know your preferences. He will never be left with your pet without me there. We respect your home and pet’s comfort. Caring for your fur-baby will fit perfectly into my working from home (full time) day. From play time, walks and park fun your pet will have a purfect day. My full attention will cater to any special needs.
“Marie did a great job looking after Bella. She chcked in with me and kept me updated, including a picture or video of Bella each day. Bella seemed to have a great time with her and I felt confident she was being well looked after.”

“Viktoria is always diligent, caring, communicative, and most importantly our dogs love her! She always goes the extra mile, she’s thoughtful, clean and tidy when she stays over to house sit, and we’ve had her back many times. We certainly will do again!”

“Gypsy and Mark did a fantastic job looking after our two cats while we were away. We received regular photos and updates and felt confident throughout that our pets were in good hands. Would highly recommend and definitely book again. Thanks so much!”

“Sarah looked after our house and dog for three weeks. Absolutely no concerns at all. Sarah kept us updated and sent us photos of our dog and he was clearly very happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Sarah.”


“Amelia is brilliant! Our dog took to her straight away and was happy and well looked after the whole time. She sent us updates which really put our minds at ease. Would definitely book her again!”

I have experience with a wide range of breeds, including larger and energetic dogs, and I am confident following individual routines including feeding, medication, and structured care. I work best with dogs who are comfortable with a morning/evening routine rather than constant daytime supervision (7am–6pm weekdays not available due to existing work commitments). Regular updates and communication are always provided, and I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, cat sitter, or someone to check in on your pets while you’re away, I’ve got you covered.

I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, and will bring the same professionalism, responsibility, and reliability to every pet I look after.

I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and notes after every visit 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s routine closely, from feeding times and walks to medication and play, so everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, which is security focused, which means I take safety and trust very seriously. I’ll never share your personal details or access areas of your home unnecessarily. During visits, I double-check doors and gates are secure before and after walks, ensure water bowls are full, and always tidy up after pets. I send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. At my own home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and affection for my three cats, so I completely understand how important it is for your pets to feel loved and secure.
“Constance helped with cat sitting over 4 days. She sent me daily updates as requested, and when we returned home, the kitties were happy and well looked after. The home was also kept in a lovely condition too. We appreciate your kindness Constance and we will be booking your services again! 🌟 thank you.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life, surrounded with family dogs and often walking and caring for the neighbours dogs while they are away. I’m currently working part time with flexible hours so have plenty of time for long walks, cuddles and TLC for your dogs at any time during the week. I have a large fenced garden to allow your dog to play and wander safely and wonderful country walks surrounding my area to go on along with my own two friendly cocker spaniels.
