About: I grew up with a household of 4+ cats, so I have lots of experience with pets. My parents got a dog 6 years ago and I enjoy spending time with him and walking him. I'm the go to pet sitter for him (a beagle cross spaniel) when they're away, along with the several cats. I also regularly sit for my sister's dog (a lab cross poodle). I'm very good with animals of all sizes, and I enjoy going for walks and spending time with them. I currently have an abundance of free time, so I can make myself available quite easily, and I'm able to travel to your location. Most evenings are busy, but changeable. Ensuring water bowls are filled, and feeding pets as instructed. Pets to be let out for fresh air if needed. One or two walks a day for dogs, usually in the local area. Lots of fuss and attention, and a treat if they've been good (they've always been good)
“Joshua was very good with our dog when he stayed in our house to look after Bear while we were on holiday. He sent us pictures of walks, and usual updates on Bear. He was a good companion for our chow chow. Communication throughout was very good. Josh followed our instructions and requests well. We can recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable dog sitter.”
About: I am very comfortable around dogs and they just seem to love me. I offer different kinds of walks, catered to your dogs needs, whether a quick pop in, a sniff walk or a ramble in their favourite wood. I am currently undertaking a pet first aid course to be able to offer that extra peace of mind for your pet. I have also been DBS checked. I currently work 9-5 but I am up with the birds, so can happily do early morning visits and walks. I can come straight after work for a longer visit or walk if needed I prefer to care for your pets in your own home, giving them the security and familiarity they need. I am happy to take them on their regular walks again for your pets peace of mind.
About: A trustworthy and heart centered house and animal sitter. I understand the place that our pets have within our home and family and I intend to treat them with such awareness. Having grown up surrounded by animals I adore their company, seeing their personalities and their likes and dislikes come through- it such a gift. I am able to care for many animals approaching with patience and giving time, energy, discipline and of course cuddles. Growing up surrounded by dogs, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, cats and rabbits in the household and in my adult life working with race horses, in turtle conservation, dog rescue centers and manatee conservation projects I believe shows my dedication to animals and how much I truly would love to help you and your furry friends. I am currently working a very flexible part time job so I have a lot of time to play with your pups, horses or hamsters. Am able to set my working hours around whatever suits you and your companion the best. Available every day of the week, and evenings aswell. I am happy to care for your dog in whatever way you prefer. Routine and consistency is important so if you’re focusing on one aspect of training right now, let me know and I can accommodate this. Happy to bring ideas aswell if this is something you’d like to discuss. Long stimulating walks, bathing, playing, crate training, leash training- whatever you need!

Zoey S.
“Met with Zoey prior to first visit to meet our chihuahua Ralph 🐾, he’s a feisty sausage when we go out, so we needed a reliable doggie carer to let him out and give him a bit of company. From Zoey’s first visit he loved her, she gives off a super calm aura and he followed her round and sat with her 💙 I have no worries leaving him in her capable hands, friendly, reliable and quick to respond to any requests for a visit 💙 highly recommend.”
Shannon M.
“Shannon is a close friend, who is full of compassion and sunshine. I have often left her responsible for caring for my rescue cat and she has never disappointed with the attention to detail and love she provides for her. From the first encounter, my cat was comfortable with Shannon’s presence in the house & couldn’t get enough of her (I thought at one point, I may have been replaced as her favourite). Not only this, but Shannon has always been massively respectful and considerate when spending time at my home. She is clean, tidy & reliable. From her wholesome, kind nature & friendly character; to her responsible & mature attitude, I cannot recommend Shannon enough for taking care of your home & your furry friends!”
