Haley did an amazing job looking after our cat Rupert. When we returned, he was relaxed and happy, as if we’d never been away. We had lots of pictures and information from each of our three visits. My girlfriend and I were thoroughly impressed with the whole experience.

Sofia and i cannot give Emma enough praise for her friendly approach, talked initially sat on the floor, and Sofia came to Emma, instant connection for Emma's first vist. Emma has been so reassuring to me, in the comfort Sofia would be looked after, giving time to play, gently brush, and covering the daily water bowl changes and food, photos and videos were so lovely, we are very grateful to Emma, and would definately reccomend her services.

Aunty G is our furbabies best aunty, she takes them for long walks, plays with them, feeds them and they love her to bits. They are her friends for life, we couldn't wish for a better dog walker because if the dogs are happy we're happy.

About: Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job, so I'm normally available 24/7, which is great for especially anxious pets. During overnight care I will only leave pets alone for groceries and other regular dog walks, I can keep this to a maximum of 1 hour. We often joke I was raised by dogs, as I grew up alongside 2 Belgian shepherds. Throughout childhood we had as many as 3 dogs and 5 cats at a time, so I understand their temperament as well (if not better) than I understand humans. I have owned 3 great Danes so understand the needs of giant breeds and strong dogs on a lead. I have experience with pet sitting a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, fish, tortoises, giant African land snails and stick insects! I love every pet as if they're my own.

I have experience with blind and deaf dogs, dogs and cats with lost limbs, and pets requiring medication.

We have a Boarder Collie which we got just before Covid so he doesent like strangers coming in to the house. We found Michael on Rovers and from the first time he came to our house he knew how to handle Teddy. He came twice to meet Teddy and then we went away for a week. Michael kept us updated with pictures and when he had been fed etc . If you have a dog that’s nervous or anxious I highly recommend Michael he’s excellent your dog will receive 5 star service .

About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

I have owned spaniels my whole life and previously did 'Borrow My Doggy' boarding.

About: As a former owner of a large-breed dog, whom I adopted, I have hands-on experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets. I also attended positive training classes with my own dog and continue to follow this gentle, reward-based approach. I am especially experienced with shy, slow-to-warm-up, or timid dogs, as I know how to build trust and make them feel comfortable In my previous career, I worked as a professional children’s coach. This background taught me patience, consistency, and how to read subtle cues—skills that transfer naturally into building trust with animals. I am especially comfortable with pets that are shy or slow to warm up, as I know how to interpret their body language and give them the time and space they need to feel safe. As someone who has entrusted my own dog to sitters before, I truly understand what owners hope for: not only someone who can provide food and walks, but someone who will connect with their pet and make them feel loved while you are away. That is the kind of care I promise to provide. My home is pet-free, meaning your companion will enjoy dedicated attention and independent space without the stress of adjusting to other animals. This creates a calm, secure environment where your pet can settle in comfortably. I'm currently working part-time for three days a week, which means I'm at home for more than half of the week. This gives me plenty of time to give your pups the one-on-one attention and companionship they need to feel happy and secure. Long-Term Stays If you're looking for a week-long stay or longer, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to discuss a customized plan that works best for you and your pet's needs. Creating a safe and trusting relationship is my top priority. My home is a peaceful, pet-free space, which means your companion will enjoy dedicated attention without the stress of adjusting to other animals. This calm environment allows your pet to settle in comfortably. For outdoor time, I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for play and potty breaks. When we go for walks, your dog will always be on a leash and under my direct supervision to avoid any potential risks. I also have experience with a variety of diets, including kibble, fresh food, and raw meals, so you can trust that your pet's nutritional needs will be met exactly as you specify. My background in positive reinforcement training isn't just for commands; it’s my philosophy for building trust. I use this gentle, reward-based approach to communicate and show love, ensuring your dog feels safe, understood, and cared for in my home.

Natalie stepped in last minute to look after our 3 cats when we were let down by our regular sitter. Fast to respond and very reliable. Even the timid one seemed to take to Natalie on her initial visit. We came home to a lovely clean area and happy cats! Thank you Natalie x

About: I’ve had pets at home since I was a teen. Rescued a Westie for my girls when they were young and I’ve since rescued 6 more! I’m a sucker for the little old ones who get left at the dogs home 😢 I hate walking without a pup to enjoy it with. I can board at my home, visit and play at their home, if you have questions, please ask. I work from home most of the week. If I do have to go to the office I can be there and back within an hour. To make life easier for my last little one, Buddy, I bought him steps so he could get on the sofa himself for snuggles. I’d never had a pup that wanted to sleep on the bed but little old Buddy did just that! Because he was a rescue, I didn’t know his background so patience and love are needed, and given in abundance. One of my little friends, a rescue, Jax, was prone to fits and helping him through them became my way of life I have a front gate so they can’t get out of front garden. Back garden is fenced. No escape routes. No restrictions on furniture, if they want hugs they can have them

About: I have taken care and loved dogs since I was a small child. Seeing them is my favourite part of the day! I will love your pups as my own. Pet care is an important and natural part of my daily routine. I make sure feeding, exercise, and any cleaning or grooming are scheduled at regular times, so pets have consistency and feel secure. I plan my mornings and evenings around these responsibilities, and I use reminders to ensure nothing is missed. This structured approach means pet care fits smoothly alongside my other commitments, while still giving the animals the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my priority is keeping the pet comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs. I ensure the home is respected and secure, keeping things tidy and leaving it as I found it. This approach helps the pet feel safe in their familiar environment and gives owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I've had numerous pets since before I could remember my mum has a habit of taking in strays. From dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes,ferrets,fish, mice and even our 98 year old tortoise. I'm pretty good at training puppies and I can do senior care as we had our rottweiler til she was 14 and I helped out loads. I am very nurturing as I have been a carer for my mum and sister and for my nan as well before she passed. I am a carer for my mum but happy to pet sit as long as I can keep in contact with my mum and make sure she's okay. I have a pretty flexible schedule but would appreciate notice of changes. I will always keep an eye on your pet making sure they have food and water and are let out to go to the bathroom enough and also make sure they have a bit of playtime as well and if you have your pets on walking schedules I will assist with that as well.

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood through to today. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they deserve. My experience includes: • 🐶 Senior dog care – I grew up with a gentle, elderly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with the extra support and calm routine older dogs need. • 🐕 High-energy & timid breeds – I currently help care for our beautiful Hungarian Vizsla rescue, Serbi, who came to us frightened and unsure. In just a few months, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion, and I’ve loved being part of that journey. • 🐩 Small breed care – I’ve spent the last 13+ years looking after my auntie’s Cocker Spaniels, my dad’s Cavachon (for 4 years), and now my own Cavachon, Benji, who’s 2 years and 3 months old. I also help with my dad’s Cockapoo Biscuit — Benji’s playful best friend who is a similar age with lots of energy! I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them loving, reliable care tailored to their unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is playful, shy, senior, or just in need of some extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾❤️ I work from home so I am very flexible. I have full access to my own car with lots of room to transport the doggos to and from walks safely with doggy seat belts. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I offer a loving, secure home environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. I live in a fully secured home that’s dog-friendly, calm, and perfect for both playtime and relaxation. Your dog will also have the company of my two well-behaved, friendly dogs: Benji, my gentle 2-year-old Cavachon, and Serbi, our sweet Hungarian Vizsla rescue. Both are incredibly social and love the company of other dogs, and equally respect other dogs space also. Benji has grown up around his cousins — including Rufus the Vizsla, Jasper the Cavachon, and Biscuit the Cockerpoo — so he’s used to making new doggy friends and loves having playmates around. Serbi has mirrored Benji’s social nature since joining our furry crew and would love the company of some more doggos! Whether your pup is high-energy or a bit more reserved, I always provide a safe, supervised space where they can feel secure and loved. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure everyone gets along well, and I give each dog plenty of individual attention. From cuddles on the sofa to fun in the garden, your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!
