“Sophie was amazing at keeping me updated with photos & messages during George's stay which put my mind at ease. He looked like he was having a great time & slept like a baby when I brought him home so he obviously had a lot of dun dueing his stay. I will definitely use Sophie in the future. 😀”
“Booked Andrew for two weeks for two French Bulldogs end of September. after an overnight stay to see if they would settle. They happily ran to Andrew for their two week holiday. Cheeky beggars never looked back to see where I was. They were so happy to be back. Will definitely book again, they were so well looked after and reluctant to leave their new friends.”
“Wonderful care of our puppy Max. It was obvious Cristina and her daughter just loved him to bits so we were very happy to leave him with them. Will be back! A special extra we’re all the beautiful photos sent several times a day”
“We used Kirsten to look after our spaniel a couple of months ago for the night. She was lovely, friendly and clearly experienced with dogs. Rudi is young and quite bouncy but this didn’t phase her and it was clear Rudi had a great time with her. Thank you!”
“Alfie had a great time staying with Angela and her family, including their 2 border collies. He was a bit over excited initially and took a wee bit of time to settle. But once he did, he enjoyed going out for walks and running about in the garden with the other dogs. He also like playing with their 2 kids. Angela kept us up to date with how Alfie was doing and sent pics of him out and about enjoying himself.”
“Bonnie had a great time with Isobel, communication was great, Isobel was very accommodating of Bonnie's likes/dislikes and it was very clear how lovingly she had been looked after. Thank you so much, will definitely book again ☺️🐶”
“This was Izzy's second stay with Josephine, and again she was very well looked after. Josephine was really flexible too when we had to change the timings of Izzys stay, and her communication was great.”
“Left Harris with Michele for 1st time last night. He can be a bit shy with strangers but by time we got home they were best friends and think he was sorry to see her leave. Was a bit nervous re using Rover but it worked out well and will use again. Thanks Michele. 😊”
About: I’ve grown up at home with dogs my whole life including rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand the importance of patience and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Over the past 2 years, I’ve also helped my friend with Rover by assisting with walks, feeding, check-ins and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m confident handling all types of dogs and will always take time to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, regular exercise or extra patience and attention, I’ll make sure they feel cared, safe and happy while you’re away. I am a high performance athlete at the university and have a flexible schedule so I can make time throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime and keeping your pets company. I’m reliable, communicative and happy to stick to your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve grown up caring for rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand how important patience, safety and trust are. I always take the time to learn each dog’s personality, and routine so they feel secure and comfortable in my care. Whether in your home or out on walks, I stay attentive and calm while making sure your pet has fun, gets plenty of attention and stays safe at all times
“Jodie was amazing with my two Frenchies. I was a little nervous leaving them but they loved her! She kept me updated with pics and messages to let me know how they were doing. She was lovely and my babies loved her 🫶🏽”
“Chris was amazing with my energetic lab Ollie and was really understanding of his temperament and needs. Chris helped us out with a last minute booking after we were let down by kennels right before our holiday. I received lots of pictures whilst we were away so was reassured that my dog was doing well and could see he was very well exercised. Would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future!”
“Steven has been excellent in dealing with Bronagh and has been extremely helpful. Bronagh enjoys her stays with him and is always very happy when she is dropped off and picked up.”
About: I have loved dogs all of my life but unfortunately the time was never right to have one of my own. My love for dogs only grew when my parents decided to get a puppy, Angus, in my early 20s whilst I was still living at home due to being a full time student. Angus’ mum is a working springer spaniel and his dad a miniature poodle which makes him a sproodle! Think high energy, super friendly and fluffy! I trained Angus as a puppy and took him to puppy classes, socialising and walking groups. I continue to support my parents to develop Angus’ training, particularly when out walking as Angus loves to chase leaves! My friends have relied on me in the past to look after and walk their dogs which I have always been grateful to help with! I have also supported a family member to re-home a rescue dog. I have experience administering weekly ear drops as prescribed by vets. I work a hybrid working pattern which means that I am able to work from home part of the week. This means I will be able to look after, play with, and get some extra steps in with furry friends. I am available, particularly at the weekends, for boarding services. I have a fenced back garden and there are lots of pathways and grassy areas nearby for your furry friends to sniff and do their business! I have sufficient space to accommodate your pets crate, if this is their safe place, and best for them to bring with them.

“Absolutely outstanding! Look no further, Izzie is your cats new bestie. Our two cats are very different. One very shy and scared the other uber affectionate. By the end of the visits Izzie had both under her spell. All the usual good things were in place. Fed regularly ✅ box cleaned ✅ communication fantastic ✅ The extra were all there too. She ensured house was kept cool enough during warm weather and mopped up some sick from Sara’s regular dodgy tummy. Can’t thank Izzie and we will definitely use her again if she is available.”

I make sure to tailor each visit to fit their unique energy, routine, and personality! I have my own pet cat and dog, and have vast experience looking after others pets, from dogs and cats to chickens and lambs.
“Very happy with Justine's care of my cat Sherbet while I was away. It was good to meet Justine before to show her the flat and Sherbet. I felt very confident with her coming to feed Sherbet and that as a cat owner herself, she would take good care of mine - which she did. She answered questions promptly and when I was away she sent a few messages with photos of Sherbet looking happy and content. I would definitely recommend Justine as a cat sitter and hope she's avaliable to do do the next time I'm away. Thank you”
“caitlin is amazing! she has an incredible passion for animals and she was so warm and so sweet while taking care of my very high maintenance cat with hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and separation anxiety. she took incredible care of him and my flat and sent me the cutest pictures while i was away. anyone would be lucky to have caitlin look after their animals 🫶🏻”
“Brilliant cat sitter, I will happily use Emma again :) She had my Siamese Ramsay for three nights and he’s come back happy and relaxed. Responsive communication and flexible too. Thanks! Xx”
“Louise A was approachable and friendly throughout, kept us informed and updated with highlights and photos sent every day. Our cat was well looked after and happy to see us, if a little huffy at first! Louise also dealt with the start of a flea infestation promptly and professionally, advising and guiding us, which was much appreciated. ”

“Fay & Ian looked after our nervous ex-feral cat for one week while we were away. He is very afraid of people so we were quite hesitant to leave him with strangers but their communication both during the booking process and the meet and greet was excellent and they really set our minds at ease. They treated our home with care and really understood the importance of respecting our cat's boundaries and letting him come to them on his own terms. They sent daily photo updates and it was really touching to watch his confidence slowly grow throughout the week. Fay and Ian are fantastic pet/house sitters, very professional whilst also being friendly and accommodating, we couldn't recommend them enough!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats for many years and truly appreciate their individual personalities. Whether your cat is social and affectionate or prefers quiet observation from a distance, I’m comfortable adapting to their pace. I’m naturally calm and very much a homebody. I’m perfectly happy to spend time sitting and reading with a cat nearby, allowing them to come to me when they feel comfortable. I never force interaction and understand how important it is for cats to feel in control of their space. Maintaining routine is a priority for me. Feeding times, litter care, play sessions, and medication schedules will be kept consistent to minimise stress while you’re away. I’m confident administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, including for senior cats or those with special dietary needs. Because I work partly online, I’m home for much of the day and able to provide regular companionship and supervision. Your cat and your home will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I had a cat when I was younger, and I have taken care of my mother-in-law's cat for the past five years when they go on holiday. The last time they went away for a month, I looked after it. I love cats, and I get on well with them. I am able to understand their needs and wants.
About: I am happy to provide Everything your cat will require while you're away. From playtimes, mealtimes, cuddletime to any medications (and of course deep-cleaning of litter trays). You will come home to a very well cared for and happy puss!
About: I’ve had experience with all kinds of pets all my life and looked after family pets, neighbours pets and all sorts. I have grown up always having cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, ponies (I even had lizards at one point) 🐱🐶🐰🐹🐴🦎 I can’t do boarding due to my landlord only allowing me to have my own dog in my house. I can house sit depending on if my own dog can either come with me or my boyfriend can watch her also, but often my boyfriend house sits with me for an extra pair of hands 😁 Also living in my home is my boyfriend Christopher who also helps me out with boarding and walking and often house sitting too as an extra helping hand and another person for your pet to love and cuddle 🥰 he has had dogs his whole life and seems to always be the dogs best friend 😁🐶🐾 I’m currently studying at university and work flexible hours so often available to care for pets any times of day, weekdays and weekends, whether that’s overnight or during the working hours. ⏰ I know just how important our animals are to us and how trust is so important when it comes to who you give your pet to. I would only trust the best to care for mine, so rest assured that your fur baby would be in good hands with me and have a home away from home 🥰 I have a grassy area out the back of my home, and just a couple minutes walk from my house are 2 big open fields often quiet for dogs to run about in.
“Met Holly a couple of times before I went away. My cat Harry loved her straight away, which was very reassuring. When I got home Harry was happy, calm, and within 15 mins it was as if I'd never been away. I'll be booking Holly again. ”

“My first time using this app and I am so grateful that I met Andrew, we went for a walk on our first meet and got to spend some time with my dog Molly which they got on so well and he handled her pulling and being hyper in a new environment. Andrew also put me at ease with all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Molly then spent the day with Andrew and I honestly did not feel stressed or worried about how she was getting on, I did message and got a quick reply and photos am really happy with how the whole day went and would recommend him and molly will definitely be back”
About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs since I can remember, including living experience with a police German shepherd, fully trained working cocker spaniel, 2 border collies and an Australian shepherd. This has given me strong experience to give your dog its wanted needs. I’m confident managing different temperaments and ensuring all dogs feel secure, exercised, and well cared for, they will be loved and cared like my own. I’ve recently finished my university degree, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I train at an international level with the university swim academy, but outside of training I’m free and able to dedicate consistent time to pet care. Including multiple walks (even up to 5-6 for high energy dogs), supervision, and care throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, and a structured routine during their stay long or short. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment for dogs staying in my pet-friendly flat, which includes a secure, dog-friendly balcony and access to all rooms as all dog friendly. There is a garden area outside for toilet breaks, which is always used under close supervision. I also have access to multiple safe walking areas nearby, suitable for both shorter walks and longer, high-energy exercise depending on the breed. Having grown up with a police dog and a fully trained working cocker spaniel, I understand the importance of routine, boundaries, and attentive care. I follow all owner instructions closely and ensure dogs are not left alone for long periods, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“I used Sophie's Daycare services for my 2 Dachshunds. She replied to my request very quickly and agreed to look after them at short notice, which really helped me out of a sticky situation. As soon as I dropped them off I could tell my pups were immediately comfortable with Sophie and her home. I got photo and message updates throughout the day to see how much fun my babies were having (and Sophie too, I think). I will 100% be using her services again, and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you again, Sophie!”
“We booked Spirit, our husky, with Josephine while her usual sitters were away, and were very pleased with how she was looked after. At the end we picked up a happy and contented dog!”

About: Dog mum to Rufus, the super friendly and outgoing small saluki cross. Rufus is playful and friendly, but also loves to curl up in a ball and relax. We are an adventurous pair who love long walks around the nearby fields, parks, woodlands, and occasionally mountains. We would love to have your pup join us - whether for just a walk, whole day or overnight. Walking services can be provided one to one or as part of a group (with Rufus and potentially other clients), depending on your dog’s needs. Dogs will be kept on lead unless consent is provided for off-lead activities. I can drive to pick up your dog, or you are welcome to drop them off at my place. I live in a flat, however, have a fenced garden where the dogs can play (supervised). All bookings will require a consultation to discuss your dog’s requirements, temperament, and food schedule (if required). I currently work as a freelance wedding singer on weekends. During the week, I have plenty of free time to look after your dog(s) - whether for a walk, whole day session or overnight. For walking and daycare sessions, I can pick up your dog or you can drop them off to me. Walking services can be adapted to suit your dog’s needs - whether that means a one-to-one session or as part of a group (with my own dog as well as other potential clients). Dogs will be kept on lead unless owner provides consent for off-lead activities. My dog, Rufus, will be around for daycare and overnight stays. Overnight stays can take place at my home or yours, as long as you are happy with Rufus joining. My flat has a fenced garden where the dogs can play (supervised), and we also live next to several great walking spots - parks, fields, hills.
“Alison was great with Max. She’s a fantastic dog-looker-after. She kept us well updated and we felt he was being really cared for. Max seemed to be happy and relaxed so we are too. We absolutely recommend Alison and will be looking to her to look after Max again.”
About: People should choose me because I put genuine care and attention into every walk. I understand that dogs need more than just exercise—they need patience, affection, and someone who really pays attention to their personality and safety. I’m reliable, calm, and committed to making sure each dog feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Owners can count on me to treat their pets as if they were my own. As a film student at university, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of free time throughout the week, making it easy for me to fit in regular dog walks. My classes and projects often vary from day to day, which means I’m available during mornings, afternoons, and even some evenings. This flexibility allows me to be dependable and consistent, giving each dog the time and attention they deserve without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and calm environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions—so the pet feels secure and at ease.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and grew up in a family home where caring for them was a shared responsibility that I took an active role in. Over the years I’ve been responsible for feeding, daily walks, bathing, medication when needed, and making sure they were happy, comfortable and well looked after. I live with my partner who also has the same background. I occasionally have my family dog up for long weekends, but he unfortunately doesn't live with me due to 3 days office work. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and have weekends free for in-home care routine walks and feeding. I enjoy outdoor walks myself to stay active so having an extra companion would be great. My fenced back garden provides a safe outdoor space for your pet to enjoy some fun. I also live in an area with plenty of pathways and nature trails perfect for exploring.

About: With several years of hands-on experience on a farm, I've been able to care for dogs, cats and many other animals of varying ages and breeds. I offer thoughtful and consistent care tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I’ve worked with shy rescues, high-energy puppies, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. For dogs, I have experience with leash training, basic commands, and creating calm, consistent routines. For cats, I’ve built trust with even the most standoffish felines through patience and body language awareness.

I am currently working part-time so have plenty of free time to look after pets. I'm an athlete so walking your pets is no problem whatsoever. I am always punctual, dependable, and respectful of your time. Pet care is something I prioritize with care and consistency. I currently offer flexible availability for morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to accommodate weekend and holiday bookings as well.

There's lots of space in my flat for the pets to roam. I create a calm, pet-friendly space that’s clean, supervised, and adapted to each pet’s personality and needs. I take home security very seriously, always locking up. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their routine and environment so they feel safe, relaxed, and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully because every detail matters.
“Emma was fantastic with our border collie, Arran, over the 4 days she walked him. He always came back happy, tired, and clearly had a great time. She took him to a nearby park for proper long runs, which he absolutely loved. The daily photo updates always made me laugh haha, and Emma was always reliable, on time, and great with communication. Most importantly, Arran was genuinely happy being walked by her, which gave us real peace of mind. We’d book with Emma again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have had experience with caring for dogs and cats (and even tortoises!) since I was around 9 years old, with full responsibility put on me at 16. I have previously owned 4 dogs (2 reactive) and 8 cats, who have lived under the same house. Caring for complex dogs like Jack Russells and Border Collies, I understand how to deal with reactivity, prey drive, and have extremely strong legs! I am also familiar with puppy/toilet training, senior care and diabetic dogs, as I have cared for dogs both young and old! I am currently available most days and I'm able to drive. I can give as much care as your pet needs, including walking, administering medication etc. I have a fenced garden, a friendly 6 month old border collie girl and 3 aloof cats. I can crate your dog if needed (and if crate is provided), but aim to treat them like family whilst they are with me!

About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Irish Wolfhound crosses, Border Collies, Miniature Dachshunds, and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens and small animals, so I’m comfortable managing different routines and environments. Having recently relocated from Australia, I’m excited to share the care and attention I’ve always given my own pets with yours. I work partly online, which means I’m home for much of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed needing long walks and mental stimulation, a puppy learning the ropes, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their individual needs. I’m confident with puppies and happy to reinforce basic training, boundaries, and positive routines. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Routine is extremely important to me. I aim to keep feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep schedules as close to normal as possible to ensure your pet feels secure and settled while you’re away. As a homeowner myself, I understand how valuable trust and reliability are. Your home and pets will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Mornings and evenings are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I plan my work flexibly to ensure pets receive consistent attention if needed, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can be a home body or out and about for puppy chinos. Walking to the local Cafe after a run in the park is one of my favourite hobbies, closely followed by a good book and a glass of wine by the fire. I really do just adapt to the needs of your pet :) . I prioritise maintaining the pet’s established routine to minimise stress. Feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medication schedules are followed carefully. I respect the home as if it were my own, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, reinforcing basic training and positive habits, as well as administering oral medications for both dogs and cats. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive, with the goal of keeping pets happy, secure, and settled.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a young girl whether that being for family, friends or neighbours. I have experience with young puppies and older senior dogs plus everything in between. Our family dog Luna has been around since I was 10 years old and she is my best friend. I largely took on the role of training her alongside my mum from a puppy. I am currently studying teaching at university so as I am finished up for summer I have full free time to walk/look after dogs. I’m happy to comply with any needs that your dog requires in the home. I understand every dog is different so if there’s any particular quirks that will help you feel more comfortable trusting your pup with me don’t hesitate to let me know.

I drive and have my own car (with a spacious boot for adventurous dog walks). If you're looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter, feel free to message me. I'm here to help and would love to meet your beloved pets! I'm currently writing my Master's dissertation, so I am quite flexible in my availability for pet care. I have my own car so am able to reach more remote locations and be flexible with timings. I offer pet sitting in the owner's home (overnight stays) as well as pop-in care and dog walking services. As I have two cats at home, I do not offer pet boarding in my own house. I believe that it is most comfortable and beneficial for the pet to remain in their own home if possible. This ensures that your pet is able to stay in a familiar environment and maintains their normal routine to reduce stress whilst the owner is away. For dog walking, I aim to offer adventurous and varied walks including woodlands, fields, parks and rivers. If your dog is comfortable in cars, I am happy to drive to local walks for your dog to explore new places.
“We’ve used Fay & Ian a few times now to walk our dog and they’re always very reliable, accommodating and our dog just loves going for a walk with them. Nothing is ever too much trouble and our dog comes back happy and chilled, can’t recommend them enough.”
About: I have been around pets my whole life, specifically dogs. Most recently have been through the puppy training face with my own dog. While also helping out family and friends with causal dog/pet sitting when is needed. Looking for something part time and flexible while doing uni, but also including a love for animals. I am pretty flexible due to doing open university. I can do a range of days and times to suit what is needed as well as being able to drive to where is needed with no issues. I am a loyal, trusting person. I have helped family, friends and neighbours with pet sitting in the past.

About: For boarding and day care, pick up and drop off service may be available upon request. During a stay 2 walks a day can be expected, plus playtime in a fully fenced garden. Any other needs can be discussed. I have been a pet owner for 7 years but have grown up around dogs. I have worked and volunteered in animal shelters, and worked in a medical environment caring for animals. Working in shelters has given me some animal training experience, and experience in handling more difficult animals. Working in the medical environment has given me knowledge of special need animals and administering medications. I started professional pet care while living in the USA. This included home visits, walks and sitting. I look forward to hearing from you!

About: I have owned 3 dogs in my lifetime when I was living with my parents. Dogs always just fit in the family. I moved to Stirling and took care of 4 dogs on a different app varying from just afternoon walks and dinner to staying over for the weekend. A house is a home with a dog, want to get my own eventually but until then I am happy to help I am currently off for 2 weeks and would happily take care of any pets in that time after that I will update my schedule but can do most evenings and weekends and the odd afternoon Can understand some dogs just want to stay in their own home. I am good with feeding them, walking or bathing should you need. I also have a nice house with fenced garden where they can run and will happily let any fur baby stay with me
About: I’ve walked my dog for 9 years (3 times per day), he is a loving chocolate lab called Alfie. I trained my dog the basics from when he was a puppy however he can be a little naughty sometimes! I love being around any dogs in general as I just think they are the sweetest animals. I am very flexible as I do not work at the moment, I drive and love going walks etc. Whenever suits the owner, I’ll do my very best to get the fur baby sorted.

“Bracken adores Holly since their first meet and loves his weekly walks. Holly keeps us informed on their activities while together and is always flexible around timings. Would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”
About: We may have pets, but when it comes to unconditional love, they are the masters. Ever since I can remember I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play and look after your pet either indoor or outdoor. I am often out and about climbing hills and going for walks. During my visit it's essential for me familiarize myself with your pet and learn when it eats, drinks, and goes for a walk. Bonding with your baby is essential as it encourages your peace of mind having left your loved one in my watch. Key reasons why some kennels might not be suitable for dogs: Being in an unfamiliar place with many other dogs can cause significant anxiety for some dogs, especially if they are not well socialized. Kennels may not be able to provide the level of individual care needed for dogs with specific needs or behavioral issues. Close contact with other dogs can increase the risk of contracting contagious illnesses like kennel cough. Some kennels may not offer enough playtime or mental stimulation for dogs, leading to boredom and frustration. If the kennel is too small for a dog's size, it can cause discomfort and restrict movement. Lack of regular cleaning can lead to the spread of bacteria and parasites. Staff members who are not properly trained in handling dogs could potentially mishandle or neglect animals. Every pet's mental, emotional, physical, nutritional, and intuitive health is of utmost importance to me, and I will remain steadfast in my commitment to provide for every pet as though they are my own.

I have grown up always having cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, ponies (I even had lizards at one point) 🐱🐶🐰🐹🐴🦎 I can’t do boarding due to my landlord only allowing me to have my own dog in my house. I can house sit depending on if my own dog can either come with me or my boyfriend can watch her also, but often my boyfriend house sits with me for an extra pair of hands 😁 Also living in my home is my boyfriend Christopher who also helps me out with boarding and walking and often house sitting too as an extra helping hand and another person for your pet to love and cuddle 🥰 he has had dogs his whole life and seems to always be the dogs best friend 😁🐶🐾 I’m currently studying at university and work flexible hours so often available to care for pets any times of day, weekdays and weekends, whether that’s overnight or during the working hours. ⏰ I know just how important our animals are to us and how trust is so important when it comes to who you give your pet to.

“Sophie was amazing at keeping me updated with photos & messages during George's stay which put my mind at ease. He looked like he was having a great time & slept like a baby when I brought him home so he obviously had a lot of dun dueing his stay. I will definitely use Sophie in the future. 😀”
“Booked Andrew for two weeks for two French Bulldogs end of September. after an overnight stay to see if they would settle. They happily ran to Andrew for their two week holiday. Cheeky beggars never looked back to see where I was. They were so happy to be back. Will definitely book again, they were so well looked after and reluctant to leave their new friends.”
“Alfie had a great time staying with Angela and her family, including their 2 border collies. He was a bit over excited initially and took a wee bit of time to settle. But once he did, he enjoyed going out for walks and running about in the garden with the other dogs. He also like playing with their 2 kids. Angela kept us up to date with how Alfie was doing and sent pics of him out and about enjoying himself.”
“This was Izzy's second stay with Josephine, and again she was very well looked after. Josephine was really flexible too when we had to change the timings of Izzys stay, and her communication was great.”

“Chris was amazing with my energetic lab Ollie and was really understanding of his temperament and needs. Chris helped us out with a last minute booking after we were let down by kennels right before our holiday. I received lots of pictures whilst we were away so was reassured that my dog was doing well and could see he was very well exercised. Would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future!”
“Steven has been excellent in dealing with Bronagh and has been extremely helpful. Bronagh enjoys her stays with him and is always very happy when she is dropped off and picked up.”
“Elizabeth was amazing and Bonnie thought so too. Very accommodating, thoughtful and great communication. Would highly recommend and will definitely leave Bonnie in her care in the future ☺️”
“We were delighted Amy could look after Layla for us. From the first communication and meeting we were confident Layla would be well looked after. We loved the photos and updates while we were away and Layla seemed very happy and content. We would be very pleased to book with Amy again.”
“Brilliant cat sitter, I will happily use Emma again :) She had my Siamese Ramsay for three nights and he’s come back happy and relaxed. Responsive communication and flexible too. Thanks! Xx”
“Sophie looked after Alba again, this time for 2 nights. She was excellent and looked after Alba, an energetic black lab. Before the visit there was good communication about Alba's routine and we were kept informed of the fun she was having during her stay. Would not hesitate to use Sophie again for looking after Alba.”
“Marcus has walked Hank before, but this was his first time boarding him, and he was fantastic! He took him for long hill walks (sent me great photos), and brought back a very tired and happy (and unusually calm) boy. I suspect Hank may secretly prefer to go live with Marcus.”
About: Dog mum to Rufus, the super friendly and outgoing small saluki cross. Rufus is playful and friendly, but also loves to curl up in a ball and relax. We are an adventurous pair who love long walks around the nearby fields, parks, woodlands, and occasionally mountains.

Walking services can be provided one to one or as part of a group (with Rufus and potentially other clients), depending on your dog’s needs. Dogs will be kept on lead unless consent is provided for off-lead activities. I can drive to pick up your dog, or you are welcome to drop them off at my place. I live in a flat, however, have a fenced garden where the dogs can play (supervised). All bookings will require a consultation to discuss your dog’s requirements, temperament, and food schedule (if required). I currently work as a freelance wedding singer on weekends.

Overnight stays can take place at my home or yours, as long as you are happy with Rufus joining. My flat has a fenced garden where the dogs can play (supervised), and we also live next to several great walking spots - parks, fields, hills.
“I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better person to look after my dog Cooper. She sent constant updates, photos and videos which proved he was comfy, happy and well looked after. I didn’t worry once the whole time. I would absolutely and utterly recommend Stephanie and her family to look after your family pet in future. I will definitely be using them again.”
