“Stacey is a lovely lady and takes care of Bella in a professional manner. Bella loves her already and there is nothing that Stacey won't do for us. We are very lucky to have found her.”

About: Pet Care Experience - Insured - DBS Checked I’ve grown up with dogs for 17 years, including Jack Russells, a sheepdog, and Labradors. I’ve trained one of our dogs myself, and I’m experienced with feeding routines, regular walks, and giving medication with meals. I’ve also cared for aging dogs and understand the extra sensitivity they need. What sets me apart is the personal attention and emotional connection I build with every dog. I truly love dogs and treat them with patience and care as if they were my own. I’m available six days a week (Monday to Sunday) from morning till late. I’m flexible with walk lengths and can offer both regular recurring walks and occasional bookings to suit your needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep routines consistent. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended for long periods. I always keep fresh water available, clean up after them, and watch for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.

“Ella was very responsive and reliable. She looked after our cat very well on her visits and let us know how she was each time. I would definitely book her in the future. Thanks, Ella!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life and I have experienced in caring for senior dogs for example give medicines and eye drops. I also have a Dog First Aid certificate so I have the ability to quickly observe, judge and act when something happens. I work as a Japanese language teacher at my home so I have plenty of time to look after your dog. I have a beautiful and friendly Frenchy young girl now and we walk together two or three times a day in a field which is just behind my house with lots of other dogs. Also, we sometimes walk other big fields near by and canal side at weekends. I strive to create a loving environment like a family where your dog feels comfy and happy. I would like to answer your question, so please don’t hesitate to ask me. My garden is fully fenced and safe, gives your dog plenty of space to play. I offer to care for your dog in detached house with a large secure fully fenced garden. I will as much as possible stick to your dog’s daily routine such as their dinner times, and sleeping environment. My dog sleeps in a crate every night and your dog can do their own thing.

About: Ever since I was young I’ve loved growing up with pets, in the past few years I helped my elderly neighbours to walk and feed there cats and dogs on occasion even clean the chickens out! I work full time but I am more than willing to work around my days and shifts to accommodate your pets wants and needs at any hours. My work hours are Mondays 8-4 Tuesdays 8-4 Wednesdays 13:30 - 21:15 Fridays 05:30 - 13:30 and Saturdays 8-4. I am more than happy to visit early, late and on my lunch breaks. Your standard care approach. Feeding, walking, brush downs even the dreaded bath time we all fear! Unless its my cats then I wont force them in the bath 😁

“Laura and Jake were great. Happy to drop in and meet the cats before our booking. They were friendly and spent some time to get to know the cats (bribing them with treats always helps!). The visits were all smooth. They were on time, sent lots of photos and took extra steps to keep our kitchen allergy safe when feeding the cats. We came home to two very happy cats. Would definitely rebook next time we're away. Thanks guys!”


About: I have always loved dogs and have had my own dog for nearly 5 years. I've done all his training with him and thoroughly enjoy taking him on long adventurous walks in nature. We have a calm home with access to a fully secure garden. I am very active and happy to go on as many walks as your dog needs. I will also have my own small and very friendly dog. He loves a good game of tug or just running around playing chase. I will take plenty of pictures and update you about your dog as I know it takes a lot of trust to leave your dog in the care of someone. I am home every evening, weekend and school holidays. Early morning walks are something I very much enjoy. I work school hours so can be available anytime around this. I have a fully secure garden and plenty of parks nearby. I have my own small dog, Scruff, who is a 5 years old Yorkie/Jack Russell mix and always up for a play. I have two secondary school aged children who adore dogs and love to spend time with them, playing with toys, going on walks or just a good cuddle!

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)

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and currently help look after my family’s golden retriever. I’m used to taking dogs on walks, bathing them, and giving them lots of attention and love. I’ve also looked after dogs for family friends while they were on holiday, making sure they get the care and all the attention they need. What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication and other specific needs. I’m currently working bank staff, meaning I’m very flexible. I’m free almost always from Monday-Friday and specific weekends as well. Any time of day and on short notice. I have a big fenced garden, and a very friendly and calm golden retriever to help keep your pup occupied. If preferred there is plenty of space in the house for the pup to be crated, or kept separate from the family dog.

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs since childhood, growing up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds. That early experience taught me to understand and respond to a wide range of animal behaviours and needs. Over the years, I’ve also completed dog first aid certificate training and gained experience with basic dog training, which helps me handle different temperaments with care and confidence. Today, my husband David and I live in a spacious three-bedroom home with a secure garden—perfect for both playtime and relaxation. We’re also lucky to have a beautiful park and wooded walking trail just minutes away, popular with local dog walkers and ideal for daily outings. Both of us are lifelong dog lovers with extensive hands-on experience. David has a solid background in dog care from previous years of looking after pets and shares the same calm, attentive approach. Together, we make a strong, dedicated team and are fully committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for every dog in our care. We know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pup with someone new, which is why we treat every dog that stays with us like family—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. We also have a friendly, well-socialised dog of our own who loves meeting new friends and playing with other pups. If your dog is sociable and enjoys good company, we’re confident they’ll feel happy, secure, and right at home with us. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available on weekdays from 5pm and throughout the weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide focused, attentive care. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime in the garden, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs and routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. At our home, dogs are always supervised and have access to a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor play. We maintain a calm, clean environment and follow each dog’s routine to help them feel relaxed and at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully—feeding, walk times, medication (if any), and preferred routines. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog stays with us or I come to you, my goal is to create a familiar, low-stress experience that feels just like home.
