“Another great stay with Alison. Millie can be a bit anxious when first separated from us and Alison knew how to manage that with time in the garden, walks and keeping an eye on how she is eating. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alison, safe hands.”
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.
“Cristina and her daughter did a wonderful job of looking after our boy Jasper! We have never least him outside of the family before so we’re nervous but had absolutely no need to be. He was so loved and made to feel right at home. We would 100% use Cristina again for doggy holidays. Thank you! xxx”
“It was so lovely to have Isobel take care of our Bruk when we were moving house. She is absolutely brilliant with furry ones, and Bruk enjoyed every moment with her and her family. Thank you for taking such good care of Bruk again! xx”
“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 🫶🏽”
“This was our first experience of using dog sitting and it has been a godsend. Angela and Steven treated our fur baby with such care and attention and this really helped us enjoy our break away. Alfie clearly had a great time and all the updates and pictures showed us this. Great sitters, would highly recommend. Will definitely use again.”
“Sophie and Dorian have been a perfect match for Fin! They took care of him so well, Fin is a high energy dog and he had a blast on the adventures. We got regular updates from Sophie as well.”
“Andrew is brilliant! Hana wasn’t terribly well and had an upset tummy, and Andrew looked after her so well. I received regular updates, and he was very understanding. Couldn’t be happier! Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“This was the first time I had used Rover and leave my dog with someone he didn’t know. I left Steven with an essay of all my dogs “quirks”. Steven was reassuring that he had experience of “quirky collies”. Steven sent regular photos and updates over the four days he stayed with him. Will definitely book again if needed.”
“Roz our schnauzer couldn’t have been happier or better cared for . Lots of updates and photos and Michele even helped with her training. In a nice house in a good location too . I’d happily recommend her.”
“Luis was amazing with my dog Blu. blu loved his time there and i will defo be using Luis again if needed. Was communicative and available and was easy to get in touch with and keep me updated on Blu’s stay.”
“Shauni went above and beyond to look after Egil and Calma, I could not be happier with her boarding! Truly recommended and looking forward to my next booking with her, my dogs loved it 😊”
About: I am a dog mum and being with a dog is the best thing I can imagine to do. I use to care for while I was younger, walks, baths, vet visits even injections when needed. I am working on the bank as a support worker, I don't have the same schedule every week. I will update my availability regularly 😊 I have a fanced garden and very chill medium size dog. On the walks I will follow your advice to make sure that your pup is safe and happy 😌
“Found Josephine through this app! She took time to Meet our dog before the booking! During our break she kept in touch and updated us regularly! Dog came home happy, would use Josephine again to watch him”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and caring for them is a genuine part of my everyday life. I have many years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were one of my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company while you’re away, my priority is making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable. I’m also confident caring for older pets and following specific routines or instructions provided by their owners. I have a flexible routine, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting during the week, with additional availability at weekends. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and timings to find what works best for you and your pet. We’re a very animal-loving family! I live with my husband, our two children, our dog Zoe, three cats and two chickens, who have their own secure coop. We have a large, fully fenced garden with plenty of safe space to explore and play. Having children and several pets at home means I understand how important introductions, supervision and individual routines are. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure our home is the right fit for them.
About: Hi! I’m Erin, I’m 29 years old and work from home as a radiologist service delivery manager! I grew up on a farm in South Africa and have rescued over 20 dogs during my 10 years over there. In south Africa we currently have two rescues, Luna and Honey, who are staffy x Pitties and they are the best ever! I have always been around dogs and I love giving them all the attention and cuddles they desire! I had my own little frenchie who was my world, Cruz, who unfortunately isn’t with us anymore. I would love to be around dogs and help out with them before I’m ready to make that commitment on my own again ❤️🩹 I miss having a fur baby around! I work 4 x 10 hour shifts per week from the comfort of my own home! My work is extremely flexible so I would be able to cuddle up on the couch with your pooch whilst working, and also have the time to take them on a lovely big walk and entertain them! I have a one bedroom flat with lots of couch space and floor space for your loved doggie! They are allowed on furniture and will be spoiled with cuddles. There are lots of walkways near me and lovely forested areas
“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.”

“Izzi was absolutely brilliant looking after our cat Simba while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Simba can be quite shy and wary of new people, but Izzi was incredibly patient with her and clearly took the time to understand her personality and let her come round at her own pace. It was lovely to see Simba gradually becoming more comfortable and affectionate with her — by the end, Izzi had definitely won her over! Izzi kept us updated throughout, was thoughtful and attentive, and went above and beyond, even helping us out with a parcel while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing Simba was in such kind and capable hands. Izzi clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that really came across in all our conversations. We would have absolutely no hesitation in asking her to look after Simba again and would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Izzi!”
“Emma was wonderful!! The person who was gonna look after our cat cancelled last minute and Emma agreed to look after him on such a short notice. She was amazing and so reliable. We are extremely happy and grateful for her! She’s a star!”
About: Hi I'm Lorna! I'm a kindhearted animal lover who is eager to love and care for every animal, big or small. I have loved animals since I was little, having had pets from cats and dogs to reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 cute cats who I adore. My pet sitting experience includes looking after an energetic bulldog puppy, and overnight care for cats with medicine requirements. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite flexible. I would love to expand my pet sitting experience and take great care of your furry friends!
“Justine was great with our high maintenenance senior Mrs priscilla. She sent us updates and we could enjoy our time away without worrying. Seemed like Mrs priscilla really took to Justine and we would definitley have her back. Thanks for looking after her ❤️”
About: From my 6 years experience of caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, I’ve learned how to create a calm, loving, and structured environment where your dog will feel safe and understood. I work from home so your dog will always have someone around! I love walking and know lots of lovely routes around the Stirlingshire area. I’m confident with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, taking the time to learn their unique quirks and routines so they feel relaxed and cared for from the moment we meet. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure their environment is secure, follow all specific care instructions, and provide the comfort they need while you're away. My calm and loving approach helps your dog feel right at home. I'm more than happy to meet for a coffee or walk, so you can feel confident about booking me to care for your dog. I work from home which means I’m very flexible and I have plenty of time to provide your pup with lots of care and attention! Although I live in a flat, I really enjoy getting out into the countryside for walks. I want to meet all the personal care requirements and needs that your pet has and I love getting to know different pets’ personalities whether they’re hyper and bubbly or a cool cucumber! I’ll ensure you have peace of mind while I’m looking after your dog by sending you updates and photos so you don’t have to worry!
“Perfect drop in to scoop the litter trays, change the water, play with and feed my cats. Arrived on time and good feedback about how they were doing. Followed instructions and stayed a little longer than planned as they were having fun. Will book Shauni again!”
“Excellent care of my boys (Hugo and Winston). Can be stressed cats so was a bit anxious about how they may be. Faye reassured me they were fine with pictures, giving me daily updates. I would not hesitate to ask Faye and Ian to look after my cats again. Cannot thank them enough was excellent.”
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.
“Connie was a wonderful sitter! Super friendly and easy to chat with, very much same energy so I knew our cats would get on great. All of our cats including the shy ones warmed to her very quickly and she took excellent care of them all Giving detailed updates and photos Will definitely recommend her and will be rebooking in future”
“My boy Sandy was happy and relaxed upon my return home from my trip. I'm super grateful for Chantelle for stepping in at the last minute after my usual sitter had to cancel. I was sent updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My flat was left clean and tidy. Chantelle is a very attentive, friendly, and professional sitter.”

About: I’ve had many many dogs, cats, chickens and sheep of my own, but also over many years looked after friend’s dogs, cats and small furries. Looked after pets of all ages and peculiarities. Every one is different and special. I have two dogs and two cats of my own with family help if I need to stay away. I am available at any time, with notice and can easily fit my dogs walks around visiting your pets. Pet care is my full time occupation so your pet is my priority. Whatever your pets normal routine, I can cater for them to keep life as close to your usual routine as possible. Either in your home or mine as preferred.
“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!”
“Marcus was brilliant with our cocker spaniel! He seemed really happy and we got great updates. We wanted to go to Blair Drummond for the day with our toddlers so this worked perfectly for us, everyone was happy! Thank you Marcus, we might see you again next summer!”
“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!”
“My 11 month old puppy Bella enjoyed her day with Alison and Luna. Alison provided an update during the day and took Bella out two walks. We would definitely request Alison to look after Bella in the future.”
“Lucy was great with Draco! she was also understanding as I was a bit late in dropping him in, she sent many pics and fill the report so I was completely calm that Draco was perfectly fine and having fun! 100% recomended”
“Rolo went in quite happily to Andrew’s and was relaxed when I collected him. He has come home and is still nice and settled which has been an issue recently when he has been cared for outwith our home. Very pleased with the care provided and will look to book again!🐾”
“Izzy has a great day with Shauni! She was really well looked after, and the photos and details on her rover card were great. Shauni was great at communicating before and during the booking. Thanks so much!”
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: Pet parents know their pets are safe, respected, and loved in my care. I am reliable, professional, communicate clearly and will treat your pets, and homes, like my own. I am committed full-time to providing my pet care services week days and some weekends. Please message me for my current availability and I will try to carry out last minute requests where possible. After our free meet and greet, I’ll look after your pet in your home just as you’ve asked, helping them feel settled, safe, and well cared for. I’ll spend time with them, they'll get lots of attention and affection. Your pet will be happy and well cared for in their own home, with their usual routines while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child however living in a flat with one wouldn't be easy so I have decided to wait until I purchase a house with a garden so will pet sit until then! I now work from home so I can house sit as long as there is a solid internet connection to allow your dog to be in its own space whilst I am there to reduce stress. I have my own vehicle to get to and from in the Stirling area also. I work full time from home or anywhere remote - 08.00- 16.00 Mon- Fri so happy to house sit any hours during this time. It's also easy for me to pick up new hours and alter schedules to what is needed. I have cats currently and probably way over protective of them, so I know how important any pet parent is about leaving their beloved animal with someone. I would always be extra attentive.
“Skye had a lovely Greet and Meet and then a short stay with Rose whilst I went shopping. Rose is such a lovely person and clearly loves dogs ( and cats). Skye had a fab time and was very well looked after. I was very pleased to see how well Skye had settled. Thank you Rose.”
About: I have had dogs all my life including huskies so I’m used to all types of breeds, I have canine first aid, fully insured, dog behaviour and canine nutrition certificates so I can gain as much knowledge and provide a trustworthy service for your beloved babies!! I will treat them like part of our homely pack I work part time for a few hours per day but I walk morning, afternoons and evenings so your dog will still receive the full exercise requirements they need, I have a husky of my own at home so your pet will have company to play with throughout there stay! I have my own front entrance and 6ft fenced back garden space with patio doors so your dog can come in and out with ease! I have a spare room should your pet require space and quiet time alone at times if they need.
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.
“A great experience. Laura was great with Daisy. I was really grateful of the time she took to meet us first and make sure Daisy would be happy with her and importantly they would be happy with Daisy! I would be very confident in leaving Daisy with Laura again. She was very well cared for and had a lovely day. Thank you!”
“Michèle has been great this week with Reyna as always, lots of nice walks in the sunshine. Michele has great attention to detail and Reyna now bounds into the house thrilled to see her. Would highly recommend”
“Pam responded quickly and took evie on short notice. Evie has a great time at pams and she has stayed twice now. We always get plenty of photos during the stay and evie enjoys good walks there.”

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. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just someone who loves animals, I bring both reliability and heart to every visit. I'll respect and treat them as though they were my own little ones. 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. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can count on me to keep things running smoothly and your pets happy and safe. I live in a quiet, safe and gated residential area. 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.
About: Hello, I'm Justine, a Masters student at the University of Stirling and a dedicated pet sitter located in Menstrie, Scotland. I have a passion for caring for all kinds of pets. I've had pets all my life, ranging from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles. Right now I have two adorable cats! Your furry friends will be safe and happy in my care. My previous pet sitting experience includes caring for large breeds, high-energy breeds, puppies, dogs with medication requirements and limited mobility, and multiple cats (both homestays and pop-in care). 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.
About: I've grown up with a dog in the house, so having moved out I miss having the company of a furry friend. I regularly look after my parent's dogs or my in-law's dog. A highlight of mine was watching my parent's dog's litter grow up after they bred her and caring for the eight puppies. I'm currently working part-time while I study which gives me plenty of flexibility for looking after your doggos! I study on a Tuesday and Thursday so am able to be very flexible on those days. I'm also available weekends. I'm really flexible because I know that dogs love their routines. One thing's for sure, they'll get all the love and attention! I live in a woodland area where there's lots of smells and walks nearby.
“Maria is absolutely great, Bru loved her she took him on 3 different walks using her car for 2 of them I highly recommend Maria a very friendly bubbly personality.i will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve always been surrounded by animals from a young age which started my love for dogs when we got our first border collie! I have experience with many dog breeds and ages having volunteered at the SSPCA, which involved handling large, energetic dogs, new born pups, as well as more timid dogs suffering from anxiety. I’ve also worked abroad with dogs who had been dumped/abandoned meaning many suffered from disease and/or malnourishment. I am also canine/pet first aid trained. I am currently running my own dog walking business called Kirstin’s K9 Care where I get to walk and play with the best dogs, join the club! I am currently focusing only on dog walking and building my animal care career so my schedule is open and I am available to book mon-fri I drive a van meaning I have plenty of room for dogs to be picked up safely and transported to walking routes that really suit their needs whether that be a big open field to just run about in and burn energy, or a woodland walk to provide lots of good smells for your dog.
About: I’ve had many many dogs, cats, chickens and sheep of my own, but also over many years looked after friend’s dogs, cats and small furries. Looked after pets of all ages and peculiarities.

“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: From my 6 years experience of caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, I’ve learned how to create a calm, loving, and structured environment where your dog will feel safe and understood.

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.
“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.”

I have cats currently and probably way over protective of them, so I know how important any pet parent is about leaving their beloved animal with someone. I would always be extra attentive.
About: As an adult I have owned several dogs, including a Dalmatian, a Beagle and currently own 2 Cockapoos (mum aged 8yrs & daughter aged 6yrs) whom I absolutely adore. I love all dogs and have raised 3 Cockapoo litters, teaching and training 22 gorgeous puppies from birth until they went on to start their new life’s with their new owners, giving them all the best start in life. I have a FB page which I kept updated from the pups birth date until to their “gotcha” day for all new owners to follow their pups progress. The last litter was born on August 2024, The page is open and available for all new owners to post pictures and updates of their puppies to adult's progress and their new and happy life. I also regularly post on the page to keep in touch and always wish all a big “Happy Barkday” from their mums 🐾 grandma 🐾 and their big and little brothers 🐾 & sisters 🐾. 4 generations of fluffy, gorgeous Cockapoos Im a Carer so I’m no longer in employed paid work. I’m available all week for your pets needs, whether that be dropping in, taking a walk, pet sitting for that special occasion or weekend/holiday away, even attending that special occasion you want your pet to be part of… a wedding etc I have a large secure fenced garden for my dogs (and yours) to run around and to keep them safe AND 2 friendly Cockapoos to keep them company.
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: 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.

“Another great stay with Alison. Millie can be a bit anxious when first separated from us and Alison knew how to manage that with time in the garden, walks and keeping an eye on how she is eating. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alison, safe hands.”
“This was our first experience of using dog sitting and it has been a godsend. Angela and Steven treated our fur baby with such care and attention and this really helped us enjoy our break away. Alfie clearly had a great time and all the updates and pictures showed us this. Great sitters, would highly recommend. Will definitely use again.”
“Sophie and Dorian have been a perfect match for Fin! They took care of him so well, Fin is a high energy dog and he had a blast on the adventures. We got regular updates from Sophie as well.”
“Andrew is brilliant! Hana wasn’t terribly well and had an upset tummy, and Andrew looked after her so well. I received regular updates, and he was very understanding. Couldn’t be happier! Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“This was the first time I had used Rover and leave my dog with someone he didn’t know. I left Steven with an essay of all my dogs “quirks”. Steven was reassuring that he had experience of “quirky collies”. Steven sent regular photos and updates over the four days he stayed with him. Will definitely book again if needed.”

“Found Josephine through this app! She took time to Meet our dog before the booking! During our break she kept in touch and updated us regularly! Dog came home happy, would use Josephine again to watch him”
“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.”
“We left Ruby with Magda for the first time, as we went on an extended holiday. We had some pre-visits which Magda was great to accommodate and made the experience much easier for us. During the stay, Magda went above and beyond when Ruby had an allergic reaction, which Magda dealt with - while keeping us fully informed. The regular supply of pictures reassured us Ruby was in great hands, and allowed me to keep the family updated. Ruby cane back to us happy and clearly enjoyed her stay, and the care and attention she received. Overall, we're really pleased and would recommend Magda to anyone considering boarding.”
“Great host! My dog Skye was well looked after. Pictures and updates sent of her out and about and relaxing at the home. I would definitely recommend and seek to send my dog on her holiday here.”
“Amazing service from Emma from start to finish. Provided daily updates and pictures. It is clear she is great with dogs and our dog had an absolute fab weekend and lots of fun. Emma responded quickly. Would use again and highly recommend getting booked in”
“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.”
“Clare has been absolutely fantastic from the very beginning! She took the time to get to know all of Albert's quirks and habits, making her home feel like a true home away from home for him. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Clare. She kept me updated every step of the way with wonderful daily photos and detailed updates on Albert's exploits. It was so reassuring knowing he was getting his daily exercise at the lovely park nearby and receiving so much care and attention. On top of that, she was incredibly accommodating and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Clare!”
