I work in healthcare 3 days a week. The other days Im happy to take care of your pet along with my dog Lily who will love to be yours and your dog best friend. I have fenced garden. I will follow your feeding and walking instructions. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house. I have safe space for dogs in my car. Occasionaly there may be a 10yo child in the house who loves animals.
“Roz’s family have been amazing. Bock has had THE BEST time with them they have taken such good care of him. She has informed us about everything relevant and sent photos everyday of Bock enjoying the walks and family cuddles. We are so happy to have found you guys!”
“So happy with Glen and family. Quick communication and easy to book. Booking went well and my dogs were well looked after and was given updates throughout the day. Will definitely use again. Thank you.”
“Rebecca and her family were absolutely lovely with my 18 week old Trixie. Honestly she had the best time at their home. I got sent lots of photos and updates. They took her on a lovely walk in the woods which is nearby them and she also had plenty of cuddles from her lovely daughters. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to put my Trixie to Rebecca again. It was the first time I had left her overnight but the family put me at ease straight away. I’m sure Trixie can’t wait for more sleep overs.”
“My 2 chihuahuas had a wonderful experience staying with Jane, I thoroughly recommend her. She has a lovely calm and kind personality which was great for my 2 nervous boys, they were very reassured in her presence. She was also very flexible when working with me on a change of dates which I really appreciated.”
“Kayleigh and her lovely family were absolutely amazing with our little guy, Cosmo! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in safe and loving hands. We received regular updates and the most adorable photos all weekend. It was clear Cosmo was being completely spoiled and loved just like one of their own. Kayleigh’s care, kindness and attention to detail were incredible, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you so much for looking after him so beautifully!”
“Ellie put up with my overload of messages asking how my baby was and sent me video after video, letting me know exactly how she was doing when I needed it, I would definitely recommend, such a calm environment x”
“Jemma was absolutely fantastic looking after Ellie over the weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring from start to finish. She was able to take Ellie in on quite short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was quick to respond to all of my questions both before and after the booking. Throughout Ellie’s stay, Jemma went above and beyond with updates. She sent loads of photos without me even needing to ask, which gave me real peace of mind and made it clear Ellie was happy and well cared for. Jemma also took Ellie out to cafés and introduced her to some friendly doggy companions, always checking with me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it. I really appreciated that level of communication and consideration. Most importantly, Ellie came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. I will definitely be rebooking Jemma again without hesitation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“After meeting Alexandra I new instantly our Minnie would be well looked after and she was, photos and videos in abundance of her happy holiday, a huge thank you Alexandra, Minnie is missing her new found friend daisy”
“Emma and her husband were really helpful in accommodating a last-minute booking, which I truly appreciated. They were friendly, welcomed me into their home, and showed me where Ellie would be staying, which was reassuring. They also responded to my messages and kept in touch when I asked for updates, which made me feel more comfortable while Ellie was with them.”
“I was a little anxious about leaving my 2 dachshunds with a sitter for the first time however Daisy (and Scott) are a lovely, friendly couple and they have such an obvious love of dogs. They came to the house and met my dogs and they all took to each other immediately!! She even invited me to go to her home where I was able to advise them on stairs and going out in the garden etc. Daisy asked questions about Henry and Bean's routines and quirks and listened intently when I explained their love of blankies and their various idiosyncrasies, as she wanted to make sure that she was giving them a home from home experience. It certainly put my mind at ease! Also, while I was away, she sent me lots of photos, videos and updates and also arranged for the doggos to go on a walk with a fellow dachshund! She was kind enough to collect them from my home (with a vast amount of their 'necessities') and dropped them back home when I got back too. Doggies are home very happy (and tired) and obviously have enjoyed their new adventure. I feel fortunate to have found Daisy and Scott and I feel confident leaving Henry and Bean with them in the future knowing that they will get the love, care and attention they have at home. Thanks guys X”
About: I've grown up in a family that has always loved dogs, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life from a young age. I truly enjoy being around dogs and understand the love, attention, and patience they need to thrive. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, enrichment, and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I'm currently completing additional training to further develop my knowledge and skills, allowing me to provide the highest standard of care. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, supported, and confident while in my care. I will always take the time to understand your dog's routine, preferences, and needs so that both you and your furry friend have the best possible experience. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. From September 2026, I will be attending campus three days a week during term time, with my timetable to be confirmed. I will always ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need to feel happy and settled. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood and provide a calm, child-free and cat-free environment. My home is kept clean and secure to minimise hazards, and I have a large crate available if required. I take the time to understand each dog's individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay.
“Jack did a great job looking after our crazy young Cocker Spaniel at short notice, though I think he was very glad to hand him back! Thanks for taking good care of him. He was also very accommodating of our last-minute change of times, and that was very much appreciated.”
“Our dog had a great time staying with Carla, he was relaxed and got on well with Carla's dog Billie. This was noticeable from the start when he just walked in without any convincing. Carla gave regular updates and pictures throughout his stay and we were happy enough to already book his next stay.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs on and off for years, and I’m most experienced with medium-sized dogs, reading their energy, knowing when they need a slower pace or a proper run. I spent years working offshore, which meant I could never have a dog of my own. Looking after your dog gives me the chance to give that care and attention I’ve always wanted to give - so your dog gets someone who’s genuinely invested, not just clocking in. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed around a commute. That means regular walks, company throughout the day, and no dog left alone for long stretches. I’m based in Rubislaw, which puts me close to some brilliant walking spots - Harlaw Playing Fields, Hazlehead Woods, and the best parts of the West End - so there’s plenty of variety for dogs who like a proper sniff around versus a good run. Spacious, secure Rubislaw apartment with space for a medium-size crate. I’m happy to tailor the home setup to your dog’s preference, whether crate or free roam.

“Great with awkward pets. Henry (cat) warmed up to him pretty quickly. Will sit with cats for awhile and give them plenty of attention/pets. Keeps place tidy, and will stay in contact with plenty of photos. Happy to do a meet & greet beforehand. Would hire again .”
“Grace looked after our cat whilst we were on holiday. Grace was lovely and done an amazing job, keeping us updated and looking after Molly. Our cat is older now and hates going to the cattery so it was great to be able to keep her at home and know she was in reliable hands! Thank you so much Grace, we would definitely book you again. Thanks also for feeding the fish! Kirstin”
“We have started using Freya to visit our house and let our puppy out, feed and walk her during the day when we are at work. She is a really lovely girl, sends us daily updates, incredibly easy to get hold of and would absolutely trust her with any of my pets. We couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have a deep and genuine passion for caring for all animals. Their wellbeing has always been incredibly important to me, I naturally connect with animals of all kinds. Over the years, I have had the privilege of looking after the pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic care, and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My current schedule allows me to provide care for your pets on the weekends. I currently have open availability for short notice and pre-scheduled bookings. I provide attentive care in my home and the owner’s home. Creating safe, comfortable spaces, maintaining routines, and ensuring companionship, exercise, and personalised attention to each pet.
About: I've been around cats all my life, mostly ginger cats and their chaotic unpredictability, but have also interracted with other breeds and mixes including (but not limited to) persians, ragdolls, tabbies of all colours. My favourite breed is the traditional apple-head siamese cat. I especially love lap cats, but have dealt with highly independent cats (and earned a few scratches along the way). With a previous cat I owned, I had to give oral painkillers every so often due to a bad leg, so do have some experience in this area, but every cat is different. I will be looking to do a pet first aid course in the future.
About: As a cat owner, I have hands-on experience providing daily care and understand how important it is to keep cats happy, comfortable, and safe in their own environment. I am experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, grooming when needed, administering basic care, and making sure cats receive plenty of attention and playtime while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries.

About: I’ve had cats as part of my family for most of my life, including caring for my cat for 16 years. I also have experience raising kittens and understand the patience, attention, and care cats need at every stage of life. In addition to my personal experience, I studied Animal Care and veterinary terminology in college, where I learned about animal welfare, behaviour, and handling. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent many years caring for animals and understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are in safe and caring hands. I’ll make sure your cat receives the attention, affection, and care they need while you’re away, respecting their individual personality and routine
About: I've taken care of cats for years I grew up with a cat called Moo who lived until he was 16! I now have 2 cats of my own called Sox and Juju they're very boisterous 2 year olds who take up a lot of my life and love. I dedicate my life to taking care of them and making sure they have the right amount of love and care due to them being rescue babies! If you give me the honour to look after your cat I will love them as much as I love my own
“Kristy was brilliant, cats were very well looked after and she went the extra mile, even switching the garden pond fountain on again after there had been a short power outage so they were oxygenated.”
About: Grew up with cats my whole life and looked after cats for my friends and family while they were on holiday. Love to play games with them, but can also tell when they need to be alone. Comfortable with combing, claw trimming and administering medicine.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and spend lots of time with my parents’ two border terriers, Bobby and Bertie. I enjoy getting outdoors for regular walks and I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow each dog’s routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can fit dog walks and visits easily into my day. I’m available for regular walks, check-ins, and occasional weekend help. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions carefully. I’m respectful of homes, keep dogs secure on walks, and prioritise safety, calm handling, and clear communication.
About: I offer reliable, caring cat sitting services in your home, ensuring your cat stays safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s routine and needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and any medication if required. I also take time to provide companionship, play (if your cat enjoys it), and gentle attention to help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I understand that every cat is different — some are social and playful, while others prefer quiet, minimal interaction. I always take a calm, patient approach and let your cat set the pace. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide consistent, trustworthy care that keeps your cat comfortable at home and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I have great experience with cats, having owned 2 sphynx cats and I know just how much extra special care these guys need.

“Lots of status updates, photos and videos of my dog playing with lily in gardens. They got on great! Ewa has lots of toys also for my dog to play with and wee mini games like treat trays, sniffs etc. 10/10 would recommend! :)”
“Would highly recommend Zhi. He took really good care of our puppy (Nila) who was away from us for the first time and was experiencing separation anxiety. He was patient and gradually introduced things to her to make her feel more comfortable. He also regularly sent photos and video updates which was really nice and reassuring for us. Bonus to all this is Nila has another dog as her companion during the stay with Zhi’s own wonderful labrador, Dream.”

About: We had our own lovely Cassie (a beautiful labradoodle) for 12 years. She was much loved and is much missed. Also lots of family pets in younger years. We decided not to replace her as our children live abroad and we want to travel unhindered. Hence me offering to look after other people’s beloved pets - the best of both worlds - a dog in the house when we are available and freedom the rest of the time! Lots of experience looking after other people’s dogs and always treat them with love and respect! Happily retired and my happy place is out in the local county side walking a dog! I can usually accommodate most pet schedules and happy to discuss requirements. Happy to board your dog who will have the run of our large downstairs. Each pet visiting has found the place they like best to sit, some admiring the view of Bennachie out our front window while others love the garden. Prefer a cage for sleeping but, if pet well behaved, can be flexible.
“This was Ashleys first time with Evelyn and I would definitely recommend her. I got updates how Ashley was getting on throughout the day. I picked up a happy puppy.”
“Jemma was a delight and looked after Ru very well. Was happy for a meet and greet in advance of the big day. And on the day went for lots of lovely walks with Ru, despite the mixed weather! They even went for a wee puppaccino in a local cafe. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jemma for the most excellent care 🐶☕”
About: I am a very active person, I enjoy walking and jogging through the forest near my house, and I would love a companion to join me. I don't have much professional experience taking care of pets, but I grew up looking after 2 large dogs. I enjoyed taking them on adventures to the beach, or the local lake and of course playing fetch. I don't have my own pet at the moment therefore all my time and attention will be spent taking care of your furry friend. My house has a garden to play in and there is a fantastic path through the woods to go for long walks, I also live near the beach and I am really looking forward to meeting some new furry friends!
About: Hi! I’m an enthusiastic dog owner offering a safe, caring, and friendly environment for your furry companions. My partner, Robert and I have a lovely female dachshund who is 1.5 years old. She’s gentle, well-behaved, and very friendly with other dogs, making her a great companion for play and socialising. I provide flexible services including day care and home boarding, ensuring your dog feels comfortable, secure, and part of the family while you're away. Completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I aim to give each dog plenty of attention, affection, and care tailored to their needs. I’m also currently completing a pet first aid and CPR course, so you can have extra peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe and capable hands. We look forward to welcoming your dog into a warm and loving home! 🐾 While I’m currently focusing on my online studies and spending time with our little Dachshund princess Daisy, we have plenty of availability to care for your furry friend. We aim to keep things calm, consistent, and tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play, or rest. We’re very happy to follow your companion’s usual daily or weekly routine as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home while they’re with us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a secure environment with both front and back gardens fully fenced, allowing for safe outdoor time and play. Our friendly female Dachshund, Daisy, offers gentle companionship, and to ensure every dog receives plenty of attention and care, we limit bookings to no more than two dogs at a time.

“Freya had an amazing time staying with Vilte! She was also very accommodating to me being daft and forgetting to drop off a lead with Freya and gave plenty of updates through the day! Would highly recommend Vilte and Freya looks forward to staying over again! Thank you!!!!”
“Ru spent the day with Carla and Billie. They were fantastic together. Ru had such a ball, he didn't want to come home with me 😂 He just wanted to stay and play! Thanks for taking such good care of Ru 🐕”
“Jane was so welcoming to both Murphy and myself. She obligingly helped out with a last minute dog sitting. Even though Murphy is very anxious and barky at the moment, she made him feel safe and loved, even if it was just for a few hours! Thank you Jane! Hope to see you again soon !??”
“What a lovely couple and the two dogs took to them straight away and after only one visit - even the nervous one. Got a photo and update during the day, which is always appreciated as you don't know how your dogs are when in day care. Will use again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14, my own dogs, my family dogs, neighbours, they relied them to me, I love them, They're like babies, So Cutes! I am currently studying part-time at college, so I just can't be able mondays and tuesdays, But I am available From Wednesday onwards, every week, in the afternoons I have a big park behind my house and it is a safety area, there's a near veterinary if something's wrong, I can walk them easily and play with them!
About: My family had a number of small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs and budgies) that I helped look after as I was growing up. As a teenager I also contributed to the care of our male boxer. For many years thereafter it wasn't possible to have any animals - I had moved abroad for university, spent time away on placement, started full-time work thereafter with life in rented accommodation which didn't allow pets. This change in 2020 when I lodged with a new landlady and her 2 adorable cocker spaniels. We became friends and when I visit I continue to take care of them when their owner is away; daytime and overnight. That includes walks on the beach or on a forest trail, where their favourite activity is to chase a tennis ball, followed by a swim. Once home, the boys make it clear that they would like food and ongoing attention in the form of belly rubs I'm very happy to oblige with. Following their owners suggestion I registered on borrowmydoggy in 2021 and met through this service a number of lovely dogs, mostly larger breeds (German Shepherd, Huskies, Malamute) but I've also started looking after a very confident and fast Chihuahua/Jack Russell lady who enjoys meeting new dogs on her park walks. My availability varies weekly. I prefer late morning and early afternoon sessions which give me a nice break from working at home on days that I can. I live in a top floor rented flat and have access to a small enclosed communal garden to the rear of the property. There is no lift so your pet needs to be able to climb stairs. Cats visit the garden frequently. I can take your pet to the beach or forest in my car.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Aberdeenshire
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have 10 acres of private woodland for dog walking. I've taken care of all shapes/sizes and ages of dogs from puppies to old dogs that struggle to walk. My favourite dog is a labrador. On the cat front, my family have always had bengals who you need to be a bit of a mind reader to handle correctly/affectionately. My mum has ran a vet practice down in england for >25 years so I've spent a lot of time with animals growing up. I work from home full time as a software engineer and have my own car (Honda CRV so plenty of space), and have a fairly flexible schedule so can accommodate short notice requests. I will always make sure that all windows and doors are secured so no little escape artists on my watch! And that Collars/harnesses are secured to minimise the risk of slipping collars.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs around since I was born. My family have fostered many dogs; from chihuahua to bulldog’s. I have a special place in my heart for old dogs, who my family have sought out to give them better lives. However, I now currently have two CRAZY dogs from Cyprus, one of which is nervous and I am used to comforting. I’ve taken care of couch potatoes to absolute balls of energy. Although I don’t own one, I absolutely love cats and really want to get one one day, so I would love the opportunity to take care of one. NOTICE: Please read about my availability before booking me. I currently work part time with about three shifts a week, usually 6am-2pm (though times can vary), so I'm typically free from late afternoon onwards on those days, and all day on the rest. I don't have set days and only find out my shifts 2-3 weeks in advance, so my availability will reflect that. I keep my Rover calendar updated, so you can check my availability there. Feel free to message me as well. I take the responsibility of walking my dog and other people’s dogs very seriously. Personally I like using a harness as it doesn’t harm a dogs neck, and is much harder for them to slip, however I will always follow your personal preference. I usually carry doggy treats on me, whether that’s for other dogs or to reward your dog for good behaviour. Generally I won’t allow the dog I’m walking to have interactions with other dogs if it can be helped, or let the dog off leash to prevent any accidents, but this can be discussed. I always feed my dogs at least an hour after exercise to prevent bloat, I’m happy to cuddle and play games and even teach them new tricks.
About: I have grown up with both dogs, cats and small animals and have been a dog walker/pet sister since 2024. I also have my own dog. I have looked after various ages or pets and given medications and catered for various dietary requirements. I am currently a dog walker/pet sitter and have various spaces throughout my dog to fit it pets sit or dog walks when requirement for your pets. I would care for your pets in your home just like I would care for my own dog and have clients who could give references if required too
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, starting with my Jack Russell I’ve cared for since I was 5 years old. Being responsible for him from such a young age taught me how to properly care for, understand, and build a strong bond with dogs. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for friends, looking after dogs particularly, and I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and how important it is to feel they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, flexible with my time, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just plenty of affection. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind and make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m currently at university, but over the summer I’ll be home for around five months and available for pet sitting. I also work a part-time job from Thursday to Sunday, with shifts that can vary between day and night, which means my schedule is flexible and can often be adjusted. Weekdays are when I’ll usually have the most free time, making them ideal for longer visits, walks, and quality time with your pet. I’m great at planning my routine to make sure any pet I’m caring for gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m really looking forward to pet sitting over the summer—not just as work, but as something genuinely fun and fulfilling, where I can spend time with animals and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I always adapt my care to suit each pet’s usual routine, as I know consistency is key to keeping them happy and stress-free. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company—so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also keep the home tidy and respect it as if it were my own. For walks, I make sure dogs get the right level of exercise for their age, breed, energy levels, and what their owner has asked for while always keeping safety a priority. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they’re secure and happy at all times. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment. I have a fenced garden for secure outdoor time, and my home is very relaxed—pets are welcome upstairs or downstairs, wherever they feel most comfortable. They’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, while still sticking to their usual routines as much as possible.

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and love all types of animals. I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs and cats and their individual quirks and special requirements. In my adult years I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, birds and a horse. I worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 8 years and they specialised in small animals and also exotic pets. I have hand reared kittens and puppies that have only been a few days old. I assisted with the care of the animals at the vet and nursed several in need of special care. My work experience gives me invaluable knowledge into animal care. I have an online business and work from home most of the time. So I will be able to spend lots of quality time with your pet/s. I rarely go out for long periods of time so at most, I would be out for a few hours (max 4 hours). I like to make sure dogs have regular walks and toilet breaks. I think it's important that they get a lot of attention, especially on the first few days, so they can settle in and feel comfortable. I would try to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, take them out for regular walks and give lots of cuddles and comfort to them.
About: I’m a passionate animal lover with three dogs and two birds of my own. I’ve also helped care for puppies and kittens, giving me experience with animals at different stages of life. While I haven’t worked as a professional pet sitter before, I have experience helping family members care for their pets and understand the responsibility involved in looking after animals. During college, I studied Animal Care and veterinary terminology, which helped me develop knowledge of animal welfare, behaviour, handling, and basic animal health. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away, treating them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have experience caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family members. I am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while following your pet's regular routine. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I have regularly cared for my own pets and helped look after family members' pets. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home while you are away
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and spend lots of time with my parents’ two border terriers, Bobby and Bertie. I enjoy getting outdoors for regular walks and I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow each dog’s routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can fit dog walks and visits easily into my day. I’m available for regular walks, check-ins, and occasional weekend help. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions carefully. I’m respectful of homes, keep dogs secure on walks, and prioritise safety, calm handling, and clear communication.
About: Hello! I have been around animals my whole life and grew up with many dogs on the family farm. I have a dog of my own now and I have absolutely loved training her as a pup and enjoying the beauty of the countryside with her now. My work schedule is pretty structured with every other weekend off and every other Monday and Friday off but I have availability most early mornings and later evenings! I have a secured back garden for any visitors to enjoy along with my very friendly, playful dog. Lots of comfy and quiet spots around the house for any loafers to kick back and chillax!
About: Hi, I’m Kieran! I’ve spent the last five years caring for my own two dogs, a Caucasian Shepherd and an energetic Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Looking after two completely different breeds has given me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities and exercise needs. From managing the strength and protective instincts of a giant guardian breed to keeping an intelligent, active small dog mentally and physically stimulated, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves patient, consistent care. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting, always tailoring my care to suit each dog’s individual routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I work in education, so during school holidays I have excellent availability throughout the day. During term time I’m available before work, in the evenings, weekends and throughout school holidays, allowing me to provide flexible care around your pet’s routine. Friends, family and colleagues know me as dependable, organised and calm under pressure qualities that are especially important when caring for someone else’s beloved pet. I understand how much trust owners place in their sitter, and I take that responsibility seriously. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them exactly as I do my own with kindness, patience and genuine care. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident from our very first meeting. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe and enjoying their time with m I’m currently on annual leave for the next 6 weeks so have availability every day as I work in education. I can work to meet the needs of you and your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else’s is a big decision, so I treat every dog as if they were my own providing plenty of exercise enrichment and a safe secure environment. My goal is to ensure both you and your dog feel comfortable confident and happy from the moment we meet.
About: I have a Level 3 VTQ certification in Pet First Aid for Pet Professionals from ProTrainings, as well as Dog Care/Cat care Level 2 (VTQ) qualified, which equips me with the skills to handle emergencies and provide essential medical care to pets, and now ensure to carry an animal first aid kit with me to all sits. I've also spent some time as a volunteer at 'Oasi Felice degli Animali' an animal sanctuary in Sardinia Italy, and cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, ponies, dogs, cats, sheep, and goats. My responsibilities included feeding, grooming, and providing companionship, as well as cleaning their living spaces to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. I also assisted with basic medical care and rehabilitation, embracing the sanctuary’s holistic approach to animal care, which treats animals as autonomous beings and caters to their individual needs rather than trying to control them. Additionally, my experience at the National Animal Welfare Trust involved caring for and cleaning after rabbits, further broadening my animal care skills. I am currently an adult and paediatric student nurse, and have found many skills and therapeutic techniques have been very transferable to my work as a pet sitter ensuring that the animals I care for receive the best possible attention and care. I'm currently, a nursing student, however there tend to be stretches of time where our learning is primarily online so I'm able to work around that. I can provide any type of security measures you deem appropriate for the care of your pet, as keeping them safe is my top priority.

About: I have had dogs since a very young age and have loved growing up in their presence, they truly are part of a family. While working full time I do not feel able to have a dog of my own and miss the company. I enjoy going for walks and a dog gives a walk that bit more purpose (and gives me company!) I have experience looking after puppies and elderly dogs. I work full time so weekdays are tricky but I am available evenings, and occasional days where I can arrange to work from home (when pre arranged). However weekends and evenings are free. I will work with you and your pup to meet their needs, whether they need to remain on leads, go on quiet walks away from other dogs/ people. Happy for the pup to roam the flat as if it was their home. However, also happy to keep to routines if you prefer them to stay off sofas and to be crate trained. I will be guided by you.

She has a lovely calm and kind personality which was great for my 2 nervous boys, they were very reassured in her presence. She was also very flexible when working with me on a change of dates which I really appreciated.”
“Ellie put up with my overload of messages asking how my baby was and sent me video after video, letting me know exactly how she was doing when I needed it, I would definitely recommend, such a calm environment x”
“Jemma was absolutely fantastic looking after Ellie over the weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring from start to finish. She was able to take Ellie in on quite short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was quick to respond to all of my questions both before and after the booking. Throughout Ellie’s stay, Jemma went above and beyond with updates. She sent loads of photos without me even needing to ask, which gave me real peace of mind and made it clear Ellie was happy and well cared for. Jemma also took Ellie out to cafés and introduced her to some friendly doggy companions, always checking with me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it. I really appreciated that level of communication and consideration. Most importantly, Ellie came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. I will definitely be rebooking Jemma again without hesitation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“Emma and her husband were really helpful in accommodating a last-minute booking, which I truly appreciated. They were friendly, welcomed me into their home, and showed me where Ellie would be staying, which was reassuring. They also responded to my messages and kept in touch when I asked for updates, which made me feel more comfortable while Ellie was with them.”
About: I've grown up in a family that has always loved dogs, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life from a young age. I truly enjoy being around dogs and understand the love, attention, and patience they need to thrive. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, enrichment, and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I'm currently completing additional training to further develop my knowledge and skills, allowing me to provide the highest standard of care. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, supported, and confident while in my care. I will always take the time to understand your dog's routine, preferences, and needs so that both you and your furry friend have the best possible experience. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. From September 2026, I will be attending campus three days a week during term time, with my timetable to be confirmed. I will always ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need to feel happy and settled. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood and provide a calm, child-free and cat-free environment. My home is kept clean and secure to minimise hazards, and I have a large crate available if required. I take the time to understand each dog's individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay.
“Jack did a great job looking after our crazy young Cocker Spaniel at short notice, though I think he was very glad to hand him back! Thanks for taking good care of him. He was also very accommodating of our last-minute change of times, and that was very much appreciated.”
“Our dog had a great time staying with Carla, he was relaxed and got on well with Carla's dog Billie. This was noticeable from the start when he just walked in without any convincing. Carla gave regular updates and pictures throughout his stay and we were happy enough to already book his next stay.”
About: I have had dogs of all shapes and sizes in my life for as long as I can remember and have the ability to identify their behavioral patterns fairly quickly to get a better understanding of their needs. I have also looked after friends, family's and neighbours pets while they have been away, sometimes up to 2 weeks at a time and i can say, very confidently, that i absolutely love doing it. I am physically fit and don't mind getting muddy if you have a really lively dog that runs during walks and I also don't mind getting absolutely drenched if they need to get a bath afterwards! My schedule is pretty clear as I am in between jobs training online for an alternative career so I will have plenty of availability and time to look after your pets for you. I would care for your pet exactly how you would want me to. If they require 3 walks a day then I will be more than happy to do so. I will always make sure that your best friend is always at their most comfortable at any given time.
