About: I’ve had dogs of one sort or another all my life. They have been my constant source of support, company and joy. Now retired after years working from home I am walking dogs for those that need help and support. I am now retired, after years of working from home and looking after the family’s various dogs, cats and assorted weird and wonderful pets. As a retiree, I really don’t have a schedule. As always my dogs dictate my day and we try to be flexible with each other. I really am free to meet the needs of my customers and will always negotiate a way to help. My dogs and cats share my home. I keep them fed and watered and cared for and loved. I consider them my friends and family. I will treat your animals with the same care and consideration.
“Michelle was great with our cats, they both seemed happy when we got home and everything was clean. Communication was great and we had no concerns. We've already booked Michelle for another visit! ”

“Jack helped out at short notice and from the first meet and greet his passion for dogs was more than evident. The communication and updates have been really good, the care and company given to Bailey and Milo has been great with the boys happy to be cared for by Jack.”


About: Hi! If you’re looking for care for your dog that is like your own, look no further. I run a dog waking business in the Rotherham area (Meg’s mutts- dog walking and pet services on FB) I have had experience with a variety of different animals from dogs and cats to bearded dragons and rats. I have experience with most breeds of dog. I currently own a Labrador, a border collie and a lab x collie so I am experienced in caring for and stimulating high energy dogs. I am completely available for dog care as this is now becoming my full time role. The only limitations I have are around school pick up and drop off times and during school holidays I may need to bring my son on walks with dogs that are child friendly, if anyone would be uncomfortable with this I would be able to make alternate childcare arrangements. I can provide care for your pets in their own home. I am DBS checked as before my current role i was a support worker in the community so i am familair with the use of keysafes etc.
“Ros is amazing. We honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She is so good at getting back to you, really flexible & accommodating & most importantly she is brilliant with our dog & our dog loves her. Ros has been very patient & adaptable around our dog’s particular needs & this has been so appreciated.”


“Mason was incredibly helpful, stepping in to take care of our cats on short notice while we dealt with a family emergency. He was very capable and gave us regular updates to let us know the cats were fine which was very important to us as we didn’t have the mental space to be worrying about them as well. Our cats are a little skittish, and he managed that just fine, making sure that they were well cared for.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.
About: Both myself and my partner Matt have grown up with dogs all our life. Up until August 2025, we also had a Samoyed who unfortunately passed away. Max is a highly energetic dog who loves to play so we’ve got more than enough experience with him alone. Our garden is fully fenced off and quite large so lots of space for your pets to run around! We also live close to Waverley lakes so have lots of great walks nearby! We already walk Max each day so what’s the harm in one more!? We have an 12 year old son who absolutely adores animals so is very excited to join us on this venture and give your pet all the love! We also have a newborn baby. Currently Matt works Monday to Friday so ideally we keep to boarding on the weekend so that we are both available for your pets. I am currently on maternity so I’m happy and available to do drop in visits and walks during the week. Myself & my partner Matt will be looking after your pets so you’ll have both of us to provide that extra care. Feel free to ask any further questions you need! Matt works Monday to Friday whilst I’m currently on maternity leave. Our preference is to board on a weekend as we are both available to look after your pets. I am available for drop in visits throughout the whole week. We have a secure garden and we have a dog to offer your pet lots of play time if wanted! We are happy to crate your dog if needed but you will need to provide the crate.
About: Happy to accept spayed and unsprayed pets… I have had pets since being young, currently have a female German shepherd who loves to have play time, walks and making new friends too. Exciting new adventure for myself and partner, we both work opposite shift so would like to fill the quiet time with your fur babies, whilst you get the well deserved R&R without the worry of your pets being cared for. We can send daily pictures and updates to put your mind at ease. I have a fenced garden, 1 female German shepherd to give your fur baby some company. We are happy to give your pets a home from home experience 🐕🐶
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep bond and understanding of their needs. From a young age, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed caring for and training dogs, attending dog training and agility classes twice a week since I was 11. Today, I’m the proud owner of two wonderful Newfoundlands, Bunny and Bear, who keep me busy with their exciting water rescue training. These experiences have given me invaluable, hands-on knowledge and a true passion for working with dogs of all kinds. But my love for animals doesn’t stop there! Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a variety of other pets, including two cats—Indie and my gorgeous ragdoll, Beau—two Guinea pigs (Honey and Bee), two lionhead rabbits (Pumpkin and Jess), and even a Crested gecko named Manny. Each of these amazing animals has taught me so much about their unique care and needs, allowing me to develop a well-rounded understanding of animal care across different species. I currently have a part time job on Monday evenings, Tuesday day and Sunday evenings. However this is flexible and can be subject to change if required! Just let me know your needs and I will accommodate accordingly! When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, my priority is to ensure your furry (or scaly!) friends feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, following your instructions closely to maintain their routine and provide a stress-free environment. I prioritise safety by keeping a watchful eye on your pets, ensuring they are secure indoors or outdoors, and keeping hazardous items out of reach. Building trust is essential, and I take time to bond with your pets so they feel happy and at ease in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cuddling, or playtime, I strive to keep your pets content and your home just as you left it. My goal is to provide a seamless experience so you can relax, knowing your pets and home are in safe hands.
“Gypsy is an absolute sweetheart! I felt so safe knowing she was taking care of my babies for me! Gypsy gave the most incredible and cute updates about my cats while I was away. I’m so thankful to have had such a lovely and caring sitter! Highly recommend their service❤️”

“Marie and her partner did an amazing job coming round our house and looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away on holiday. One of our cats is very skittish around new people and even she was comfortable around Marie which means a lot! Marie played with our cats every visit, emptied litter trays, made sure they were fed, and gave them lots of dreamies too! I could not recommend Marie enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs practically my whole life! I grew up around all kinds of animals in my home including cats and dogs..at my mums home that I recently moved out of I have 4 cats and 4 dogs I used to care for religiously whilst my parents were away! Right now however I live alone with my 8 month old and would love some furry friends to love and keep me busy whilst I am off work. Which also means I’m available most days ! I am off work at the moment and currently looking for a part time job so I have lots of free time to care and walk our loving pets I have a 2 bedroom flat with a large living room which is safe for both cats and dogs. I have no pets of my own. I also live very close to Thrybergh country park meaning walking is no issue… my garden is not fenced off as it is a shared garden but again this shouldn’t be an issue as long as pets are ok on lead and I will be with them whilst outside 24/7

About: Hi, I’m Millie - I grew up in a dog filled house where we often had three dogs at a time, ranging from puppies to senior animals, to small dogs to larger breeds. I’ve always been involved in their care and have experience of feeding, walking, training, and giving them lots of love and attention. I now live with my partner in our own home, and we don’t have any pets of our own (yet!). We both really miss having a furry friend and dog sitting is the perfect way to share our love for dogs whilst helping pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I work as a Radiology Assistant and do 3 long days a week, with 4 days off. My partner works at home full time so there will always be someone at home. My partner, Olly, supports me with dog sitting and is more than happy to care for your pets whilst I am working long days. Both myself and my partner are very active, enjoy long walks and have a lot of time to give your pets plenty of attention and play time. I will always be transparent, ask permission, and communicate well. I will always treat your pet like my own and ensure they are well cared for and loved. We have an enclosed back garden so your pet will be safe having toilet breaks and play time outside. We do not live far from local parks and fields.
About: Ever since I can remember dogs were a big part of the family! And that has never changed! As a pet owner (dog and hamsters) I know how important it is that our pets get the care and attention they need and that we are there when they need us! I would love to give your pet (and mine!) the attention they need when you have important things to do! :-) I work remotely so I have availability to do dog walks and drop in visits throughout the day and evenings. I like a good early start with Willow (my Shiba Inu) before starting my day. I love to spend time and socialising my Shiba with other pets (dogs and cats alike) whenever possible! She gets along with other dogs once comfortable and also happy to do the walks with just your dog if you prefer!
About: I will choose a day with an animal over anything else. I have always had a special spot for them in my heart. In my ideal world, I adopt all the stray dogs and cats in the world. I currently work part time, mainly from home with a flexible routine which enables me to pet care. I have no children, or any other commitments, therefore I am able to be flexible. I live in a house with a nice gated garden with enough room to run and move around. When I’m at their house I take full safety precautions to look after the fur babies and keep them both safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of family members and friends of my family’s puppy’s before, multiple times, from walking them whilst they are at work, to having them for over night stays well family members have been away. I’ve grown up with a family dog my whole life and have always been around dogs. I’m self-employed and so choose my own hours, so like to do dog walking in my spare time and as a hobby to help keep myself fit. I’m dog crazy, but don’t actually have room to own any more in my own home so dog walking my way to stop me getting any more dogs My house is surrounded by two acres of land which is all fenced off to create a safe environment. I have two dogs of my own. One a 10 year old German Shepard and a 5 month old cockapoo in training both completely friendly and super loving to keep your pup company

Megan looked after my cat while I was away for a week. Absolutely cannot fault the service at all. I knew my girl was in good hands from the initial meet and greet. I was kept informed daily and sent photos and updates. Megan even went above and beyond when my girl had an upset tummy. Plenty of fusses and all her needs taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble. I'd 100% use Megan again in the future.

Mason was incredibly helpful, stepping in to take care of our cats on short notice while we dealt with a family emergency. He was very capable and gave us regular updates to let us know the cats were fine which was very important to us as we didn’t have the mental space to be worrying about them as well. Our cats are a little skittish, and he managed that just fine, making sure that they were well cared for.

Jack helped out at short notice and from the first meet and greet his passion for dogs was more than evident. The communication and updates have been really good, the care and company given to Bailey and Milo has been great with the boys happy to be cared for by Jack.

Victoria is AWESOME! Book her immediately! She was perfect in every way for our baby. She was calm and attentive, flexible and communicated exceptionally. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable or more friendly sitter. Victoria came on time, did everything we asked and loved our little girl. She supported our pup with her needs, played and gave her so much attention. We felt relaxed knowing that she was in great hands with Victoria. Genuine, helpful and supportive. Second to none. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I would definitely recommend Kim, she’s been doing drop in visits with Penny this week while I’ve been working extra hours. Penny is always well fed, watered and happy when I get home. I’ll continue to use Kim regularly going forward, I’ve also made myself a new friend.
