“We cannot recommend Harris and Maria highly enough, they have been looking after our Jack Russell for 12 days while we have been on holiday, they kept us updated every day on how he was doing and our we guy was having a ball. He was clearly well looked after and had regular walks and their dog Molly was an amazing friend for him. We will definately be booking with Harris and Maria again. Exceptional dog sitters.”
“We'd a family emergency and Barry very kindly took Otto at short notice. Otto had a whale of a time, brilliant walks, and with Barry's support got on well with all the other dogs. Thank you Barry.”
“We were delighted that Debbie looked after Brodie so well. He was obviously very settled on our return and had certainly made himself at home! Debbie’s family were also very involved in looking after him. She was happy to send messages and photos while we were away. Should we need home boarding again we would love Debbie to take such good care of him again”
“Another great stay with Ali and the gang. Our boy Blue used to be really anxious being left with anyone other than family. Now he's so happy to go to Ali's, even mentioning her name he gets so excited. This time it was just a 1 night / 2 day stay, along with his new little brother Cooper. This was coopers first time away from home without us. We were keen to hear how he was getting on. Ali kept us updated with plenty of videos and pictures and we are happy to say that he got on great! You could tell her was loving every moment, especially having some new friends to play with. We are so lucky to have found the right home away home ❤️”
“Very impressed with the service that they provided. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and this has been the longest period of time that he has been away from home. They handled him fantastically. I was worried that he would not settle well but my concerns were swiftly quashed. Hope provided regular updates and he returned one happy dog. If anyone needs their dog cared for whilst they are away I cannot recommend them enough and would not hesitate to use them again to look after Max. Thanks again”
“I could not recommend Magdalena and her partner any more, they have look after my cockapoo Lulu very well and understand her personality and needs amazingly. We received photos and updates through every day. Thank you very much for being so amazing 🤩”
“Our little one had a great time with Sarah! We could tell from the photos and the videos that Sarah sent to us regularly: lovely walks, cuddles, and play! Sylune looked very happy and well adjusted, I think it's the first time she seems so calm after coming back from a pet sitter. We're grateful and will be booking again in the future!”
“I would highly recommend Lenka. My dog Aran was so happy staying with Lenka and her family. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I will definitely ask Lenka to look after my dog again.”
“Hamish was very excited when we drove up to Sarah’s, jumped out of the car and ran in. Sarah sent me photographs a wee while later. He was settled nicely. He’d been unsettled during the night, unfortunately for Sarah. But he was fine when I collected him. He sat on my knee and slept when we got home. 24 hrs later and he’s definitely back to normal. He’s 7 and in all that time he’s only had 1 night away from family, but Sarah looked after him really well. He’s looking forward to another visit in the future, hopefully. Thank you, Sarah”
“Lizzie was amazing with brandy, unfortunately we had lost one of our dogs and brandy was not coping well without her. Lizzie made sure she had all the human contact she needed and went above and beyond during brandys stay. I will definitely use Lizzie again in the future.”
“Shubham and his lovely family welcomed Dash into their home. They sent regular updates of him relaxing and playing with their dog and young son. Shubham was very communicative throughout the process. Would definitely recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful week at Madeleine's. She provided regular updates with photos and replied to messages quickly. Hazel will definitely be back next time we need a sitter :)”
“I can’t recommend Rhona highly enough! She took exceptional care of Mindy, and it was brilliant that Mindy got to spend time with another Border Collie, Lottie. Receiving so many lovely pictures while we were away was fantastic. Rhona is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter who we will definitely use again. A+”
“First time our 5 month old puppy has been away from us. Daniela is so lovely and created such a relaxing and welcoming environment that our puppy clearly loved. We are so happy to have found Daniela and we will certainly be using her again.”
“It was our dogs first time away from us and he stayed with Kassandra for the weekend. He totally loved it and was so happy when we picked him up, not to see us because of his stay. I think he really enjoyed Kassandra, Keira and Mr Poes company and all the nice walks. We were quite worried about Baxter not settling in or being badly behaved but Kassandra put us at ease. Kassandra is very knowledgeable and professional and she has an excellent manner with dogs. We were sent regular updates and pictures of Baxter having fun on his walks and he seems to have taken a real shine to Kassandra. Kassandra will be our first choice for any dog sitting, walking or boarding requirements from now on.”
“Our experience with Eva was fantastic from start to finish. She made the booking process very easy and was very accommodating for both mine and Horace’s needs, including for drop off and pick up. Eva sent photos of Horace each day we were away and it was obvious that he had a brilliant time in her care. He enjoyed a decent walk each day and it was obvious when we picked him up that he had become fond of her and happy & relaxed in her home. I would definitely use Eva again - many thanks!”
“Hamish had a lovely holiday with Diane. He was well looked after and treated as part of the family. We were kept updated with photos and messages. I’m not sure if he wanted to come home with us but I’m sure he would love to go back next time we go away.”

“Kimberly was great. Our kitty is very shy with strangers and she was very patient with him and by the end of the week he seemed to be really quite relaxed with her. We got updates everyday with photos which was very reassuring. We came home to a very happy kitty. I would definitely recommend her. ”
“Jingmin was a fantastic cat sitter!!! She looked after Sherlock and Watson, our 10-year old cats. She sent photos daily, and it was such a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of! Watson, our very shy and anxious boy, even opened up and became comfortable with her. Thank you!”
“Sarah dropped in to look after my kitten for a couple of days, and I can very much recommend her :) clear and prompt communication, great report notes, amazing pictures of my cat, and I came back to a very happy kitten ☺️ would happily book again when the need arises!”
“Leah was amazing with our cats, our cats clearly felt very safe around her as my older cat usually never comes out for strangers. She must’ve felt like a safe place for my pets which completely put me and my partner at ease. Got good photos and updates of both and were well taken care of and looked very happy with her. ☺️”
“Ellie was great! Quick to respond to messages on the app and very friendly and easy to talk to. I liked that she has cats herself so I was confident she’d be grand with our two. Service was carried out with no issues and I appreciated the photos she sent, so cute! 🥰 Would definitely book again!”
“Tímea was great, as always. Very good communication, always very attentive and caring. She always makes sure to let the pet take the lead and seems to be a calming presence for our cats. She’s also really patient which is great. Thanks Tímea”
“Hannah was perfect 😊 she replied to my initial request within minutes and her communication throughout was great. Our cat can be a little wary at first but going by the pics I received this wasn’t a problem 😂 I’ll absolutely book Hannah again in the future.”
“Zoe deserves the label Star Sitter. If I could give her move stars I would! The level of care and attention she gave my cats for the two weeks she cared for them was next level. She treated my girls like they were her own fur babies. Her communication is clear and detailed and she got so many stunning photos of my girls. Would 1000% recommend Zoe and I personally will be using her again”
“Karla is amazing, so happy to have had her caring for Ember while I was gone! I got lots of photo and video updates so I could see Ember was happy and playing with her. Karla is a really lovely person, she followed all the instructions I left and made sure Ember wasn’t stressed or anxious without me there. I would love for her to care for Ember if I needed a cat sitter again ❤️”
“Julie was so lovely to deal with and very accommodating. Came to meet us and discuss my kitty’s in more detail then booked for 4 days. Looked after my fur babies and my home really well. Kept me updated and everything was great while I worked away. Will book Julie again x”
“Lewis dropped in to feed our ragdoll cat Ollie when we were on holiday. Lewis was very attentive and reliable. He went over and above what was asked and noticed extra things that Ollie needed which weren't on the list (such as his bed needing cleaned). Communication was brilliant as Lewis always gave detailed updates and sent us lots of photos. He took really good care of our cat and we would definitley ask Lewis to look after Ollie again because he done such a great job. We would definitely recommend Lewis.”

“This is the second time of getting Hope to look after Nala and they’re both fantastic with her. They treat her like one of their own and part of the family. She’s spoilt and Nala loves going there, wouldn’t hesitate to leave Nala with them again and would highly recommend Hope and her husband 😊”
About: I grew up with dogs and love to care for them. I understand work sometimes get in the way or you may need some vacation time where you need someone who will offer genuine care for your beloved pet. Message me and we can discuss what you need! I work at sea, which means I have plenty of time off when I’m back home. During that time, I’d love to help care for your pet—whether that means long walks for active breeds or cozy snuggles for more laid-back companions. I'm flexible and happy to match your pet’s energy! I have a female mini dachshund who loves the company of other humans and animals. My home is fenced so your pet can walk in and out whenever they please. You are welcome to bring their favourite treats/food, especially if they have special dietary requirements.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and spent my childhood helping in my family’s boarding kennels, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. We have a spacious, secure garden where visiting dogs can play and relax, and I’m home full‑time so there’s always someone around. Our two dogs -Ralph, our gentle 11‑year‑old Jack Russell who spends the day sleeping by the fire, and Betsy our playful 1‑year‑old Beagle - love the company. Our daughters (5 and 8) adore animals too and keep the dogs entertained with games, cuddles, and the occasional sneaky treat. We live close to beautiful woodlands and reservoirs, so daily walks are part of our routine, your dog will always have company, comfort, and plenty of fun. I can be very flexible around your needs and scheduled. I also drive so can offer pick up/drop offs, a few days notice usually required. In my home, dogs enjoy constant company, a secure garden to explore, and a calm, family‑friendly atmosphere. I keep each pet’s usual routine at the heart of their stay; feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments so they feel settled and safe from day one. We head out on daily woodland or reservoir walks & there is always someone at home to offer reassurance, attention, and plenty of affection.
“Barry was very welcoming to our boy Podrick; pod can be a super huge handful when he’s excited and Barry knew exactly how to manage him. Thanks so much for your caring of Podrick!”
About: We have a well cared for Cockapoo of 3 years and we think he's the best! I have had dogs since I was a child and it was important that my own child also had one to love and look after. We are now at the stage of wanting to look after other cute wee fluffballs - my daughters words LOL. We have a strong routine of dog walking and doggy care and would be happy to fit another dog into it. I have all of the school holidays off, so I'm always around during the day to walk, play and care for dogs. For the rest of the year, I work part-time and my husband works from home so there is always someone in the house. We usually walk our dog first thing in the morning, then again for a 'ball throw' mid-morning, another longer walk at the nearby country park mid-afternoon and a couple of smaller evening walks round the neighbourhood. Our dog always likes an indoor play in the evenings so we make sure we get down on the floor with him and his toys. Our medium sized fenced back garden is ideal for a morning run or to relax in the sun. We have green spaces to the back and right hand side of our garden so it's peaceful and both areas can be used for shorter walks. There is a dog next door and a couple a few doors down but there has never been any issues. Our dog isn't crated, he has the free run of the living room with throws over the couches. However, we'd be happy to crate your dog if requested. We don't allow our dog in the bedrooms, but he has free reign elsewhere. We have experience of caring for my parents elderly dog, Eddie. He was a huge part of my life from a puppy and so when they weren't able to look after him we took him in full time until he was sadly gone.
“Lizzie was great with our rescue dog Scooby. We were nervous to leave him as he sometimes can be hard work but Lizzie handled him perfectly and even said he didn’t bark at all! Which was news to us! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Will definitely be booking Lizzie again! :)”
“I cannot explain in words how good Kathryn is as a dog sitter. The care she gives and excellent communication, the love that my dog has when I drop her off and pick her up says everything! 💛 Her dog Skye and companions are amazing too 😊 absolutely gutted she is moving down south in April - would 100% recommend to any future owners looking for Kathryn to look after your dog”
“Fiona and her family were welcoming to Kip and she seemed to have had a nice time with a lovely walk and lots of cuddles. She wasn’t that bothered about coming home with me - I’d take that as a good sign! 🐶😂. Thank you for looking after Kip. 🙏🐾”
“Strongly recommend! Our 5 month old puppy got along great with Estelle’s own dogs and felt completely at ease knowing he was well looked after! We now have a super sleepy puppy after his day of running around mad and having fun with Estelle and her kids! Rico will defo be back!”
About: My partner Mark and I have both grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been hands on with their care, from walks and playtime to feeding and everyday routines. While we’re waiting for the right time to welcome a dog of our own, our home is a very dog loving one. We live in a clean, spacious family home with our two young children, who are gentle, calm and love being around dogs. We have a private garden and are surrounded by green space, perfect for relaxed walks and fresh air. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and will care for them as one of the family, with plenty of attention, affection and a calm, comfortable environment. I work part time, and my partner and I both work from home while our children are in childcare, so there’s always someone around for walks, cuddles and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re able to offer both weekday and weekend boarding, with a flexible, attentive approach to care. Our garden is safe and secure, and we’re happy for dogs to roam freely between our ground floor living spaces and the garden. We always take time to see where each dog feels happiest and set up a cosy, quiet spot they can retreat to and call their own.
“My little Yorkie puppy Ness is quite shy but Ann and Jasper have been amazing at listening to what she needs and helping build her confidence. Their dogs Aston and Ella are so sweet and gentle and great for Ness to socialise with. Very happy that Ness is well looked after when she's with them and looking forward to her having more visits in the future. Thank you Ann, Jasper, Aston and Ella!”
“Felt really comfortable leaving Storm with Graeme, he was lovely and lives in a great location for walks. She seemed pretty chilled out to be there too and will be booking another daycare with him again soon 😁”

“Zena had our Labrador for a day stay and he had the best time! He loved having Snape to play with and we will definitely be asking Zena to look after Bodhi again. Lovely house and a good sized garden for him to play in.”
About: I've been sitting and walking dogs, and I love the responsibility of caring for someone else's dog as if they were my own. I'm home all day, so your dog gets consistent company and attention rather than being left alone for long stretches — no rushed visits or clock-watching. I also have a fenced back garden with plenty of space for running around and playtime. I focus on getting to know each dog's individual routine and personality: feeding times, walk preferences, favorite toys, quirks and all. I keep owners updated with photos and messages during the stay so you always know how things are going, and I'm comfortable handling the everyday realities of dog care — accidents, bad weather walks, picky eaters — calmly and without fuss. Am working from home all day the week, so have good time to play with your friend and give them toilet breaks when ever needed. I have a fenced back garden with very good space for your furry friend to play around and also a dog to give company. I can also crate easily if needed.

“Ellie was fantastic with my dog, he was totally relaxed and happy when I got home. She’s clearly a natural with dogs and I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. She even cleaned up an unexpected accident without any fuss, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Gavin took our dog, Troy for a walk and again for a short visit as it was a long day for him. Troy enjoyed his walk with Gavin and it was good to know that he was taken care of. Gavin took photos and a map of their walk as well as writing information which we found helpful.”
About: I have looked after / owned dogs for almost 20 years. We lost our beloved dog Holly in 2023 after adopting her as a young dog and we really miss time with her and walking. However, due to having two small children, owning another dog at this time is not possible. I have helped friends over the last two years and have also been contacted through them by other people to look after their dogs for holidays. I can help out Monday and Fridays during the day and weekends/holidays also. I currently have two fairly regular dogs that I look after and this is working really well for us. Please get in touch and we can see if we're able to help out with walks/holidays/overnights. I work part time (Tues/wed/thurs) so am available the other 4 days to help with walks/sitting/boarding. If I have a dog in then I am home mostly. Dog wouldn’t be left for long periods just for school drop off etc. I have a large enclosed back garden and live near a large park which is great for dogs. Also happy to take dogs in the car for trips / walks further afield. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and upstairs. Generally not on the bed during the night.
“Both my dogs took to Lewis straight away especially my reactive rescue who was all over him. Both returned safe and happy from their walk. Thanks again!”

“Tímea did a great job with my dog. She came to meet us ahead of time to make sure she was a good fit for my dog and hear instructions. She gave a full report of how the walk went and pictures.”
About: I may not own a dog, but I’ve happily walked friends’ dogs, know how to feed and water them, and always give care and attention. I study fine art full time and work part time but that doesn’t stop me from checking on all pets. That can be some days a week or on the weekends. I will always ask you the owner what you are comfortable with me doing as it is your pet and your home. I can easily adapt to whatever you need me to do.
“First time we’ve ever booked a dog walker. Dogs were looked after really well and seemed very happy. Took to Laura very quickly. Thank you again Laura. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: Hello! I’m Madeleine, I live semi rural, lots of great walks, enclosed garden and plenty sofas to snooze on. I have 3 children who are very used to dogs, boundary aware and know how to behave around animals. However, if your guy is not keen on kids I am not for you, sadly. Your dog will have a separate room if needed/ when required. Otherwise I have a very open household and they will be treated like a member of the family. I have experience with most breeds including not limited too: brachycephalic Breeds(I owned a bulldog) , doodles, labs, Xoloitzcuintli & bullmastiff. I have completed dog first aid and own a dog first aid kit. I mention this as I know with certain breeds and the hotter summer months approaching overheating is a real concern. Im equipped and knowledgeable! Training experience : My dog was a rescue from Japan. He had no socialisation and wasn't toilet trained when we got him. After a lot of work, he is a well rounded guy who is fully toilet trained. I like to think I'm pretty versed in basic and behavioural correction training. I had a professional trainer advise with my dog, It is an area I’m really interested in, working with positive reinforcement and trust building. I can help with toilet training, socialisation, recall, desired behaviour positive reinforcement etc I can’t work with, understandably, large breeds that don't like children. If you are planning on a longer holiday, we will need to meet before. This will give both parties peace of mind. Potentially even an over night that I will do at a discounted rate. Even if it’s just one night I'm still always happy to meet up first! I will send you daily photos/ updates and happy to face time etc! I am a stay at home mum of 3 school aged children. After school drop off, my favourite thing to do is grab a coffee and go on a lovely (childfree) walk! I know tones of great walks and love finding new spots so no two walks are the same. Weekends and holidays my kids will be off school. We tend to go more child friendly places like lauriston Castle, Cammo and Cramond. I have my doggy first aid and kit! I am scripted and ready for things like: overheating (used to own a bulldog) anaphylactic reactions (I can administer injections) , kennel cough etc. We have a large fenced garden. Dog will sleep in our kitchen area/ utility if boarding. If its just a day visitor they will have the run of the downstairs.
About: All my life I have looked after pets, family and friends - I have owned dogs from a Rottweiler to a Yorkie. I have currently got two Jack Russells called Buddy and Milo. I got them as soon as I left the Navy in 2014. They are so spoilt but I wouldn't have it any other way! So you should know that your pet, whether its a rabbit or dog they will be truly loved while you are away on holiday with plenty cuddles and walks :) I have started my own dog walking service around Livingston. So I am fully flexibly in fitting them in to my day and making sure that their needs are also met. Facebook Spoilt Rotten Dawgs West Lothian I have a closed in garden, a bolt on the back gate so no one can come in. fully secured :) They will also be watched while out in garden. They will have plenty love and attention. They will be treated as part of the family.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, having adopted pets at various life stages, from infants to seniors. I've provided loving care for them until they passed away, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. Currently, I have three medium-sized mixed-breed dogs, allowing me to manage multiple dogs effectively. What sets me apart is my compassionate approach and my ability to cater to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I treat every animal as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe and loved while in my care. Additionally, I am more than willing to clean up after pets, including clearing any waste, as I understand it’s essential for their health and the cleanliness of the environment. Your pets will receive the highest standard of care and attention. I am available for pet care on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM, as well as on Saturdays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent and loving care for your pets during those times. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I ensure the environment is secure by checking for any potential hazards and maintaining a calm atmosphere. I follow the pet owner's routines, including feeding schedules and playtime, to help minimize stress. I provide companionship, engage in play, and ensure that each pet feels loved and cared for during my visits. By visiting them in their familiar surroundings, I aim to keep their routine consistent and help them feel at ease while their owners are away.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Grew up around cats, and had a family dog in my mid teens. Throughout my life I have been around multiple dogs, from the smallest sausage dog to the biggest Leonberger. I have house sat for many family and friends over the years for their 4 legged friends. I am confident walking dogs of all sizes provided they have basic lead training, and i will ensure walks are safe, and engaging for your pooch. I have my own car, so am very mobile to get to various places. I love to have snuggles with cats, or just be a source of company for them while their beloved owners are away, making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. At present, i am temp working so my days are somewhat flexible, but this will change from October. At present, I can dog walk, house sit or just pop in for a time to give some love and cuddles (will update this in October to new arrangements). Provided sufficient notice is given, I am fairly flexible with taking bookings, and will ensure my availability is updated regularly. I am comfortable to house sit at your property if overnights are required, and happy to provide any security checks you may need. When at a pet owners home, i would ensure the house is secure and the pet is safe, and follow any and all instructions given by the owner to ensure pets are safe and comfortable.
About: Fun loving family home with our own 2 small dogs. I am a professional dog walker with numerous years of experience with all breeds of dogs. I have previously worked training guide dogs. I can help with any behavioural or training issues. I have lots of great dog walking routes within my area due to a number of country parks around my residence. I also keep horses and have done for a number of years. The horses are local also with good walking opportunities and farm like experiences at my yard. . I’m a self employed dog walker so very flexible with your boarding needs and can also accommodate weekends as well as weekdays or short notice and emergencies. I reside in a home with a fully fenced in private back garden, where the dogs are free to go and explore and relax at anytime.
About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs of varying sizes and cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and will make sure they are well cared for while you’re away. Family, friends and neighbours have regularly relied on me to look after their pets, whether that’s feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience toilet training dogs, looking after reactive and nervous animals, and caring for senior dogs and puppies so I understand the importance of understanding and consistency. I currently work from home, so I can be flexible with pet care throughout the week. I am able to work from anywhere so this is not an issue. Whilst working, I am able to snuggle your animals and take them out for regular toilet breaks and on walks on my breaks. I am also off weekends so can be fully flexible. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and exercise, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you have complete peace of mind. I love to get my steps in, so happy to take your furry family members on long walks to play and tire them out, or I am happy to simply snuggle.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies through to senior dogs. Growing up, I helped care for my two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, as well as my parents’ reactive Belgian Malinois, which has given me valuable experience understanding different temperaments, body language, and behaviour. I have also looked after dogs for friends and family, providing them with safe, reliable, and loving care. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work only three days a week, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility for dog walks. I also have no other personal commitments so I am available all hours. I have a fully fenced in garden that is separated in two so I can separate my dog from your fur baby. It is also got a high fence to prevent jail brakes.
About: I have 2 cats & 2 horses. I have had dogs in the past and have had the privilege to look after some doggies on Rover which has been amazing. I have many years of experience with dogs and cats from all breeds and sizes, I love them all the same. Happy to help over all holidays including Christmas and New Year!! 🤶 I can be flexible around my lifestyle just let me know when you need me and I will be there to help a hand 🙂 My pets and animals in my life are my everything. I am a huge animal lover who puts their well-being first, loves to cuddle, floods them with attention and most importantly never lets them down!
About: I have a 7-year-old Lhasa Apso of my own and have always been around dogs. I regularly help look after dogs for family and friends, including walking and caring for my auntie’s dog when she’s away, sometimes for a few weeks at a time. Most of my friends also have dogs, so I’m very used to being around and looking after them. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy doing in my spare time happy to have a 4 legged companion join me! I work full-time but have flexibility for dog walks in the mornings before work, during my lunch break and in the evenings, as well as at weekends. I work from home regularly and live locally, so I’m happy to discuss a routine that works for you and your dog. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will always follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, whether that’s for walks, feeding or general care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in their own home and will make sure they feel safe and well looked after while in my care.
About: I have worked with dogs since I was 8 years old working on my dad gun kennels and I have had pet dogs within the house also. I am a full time shift worker which means I have lots of availability through the week and at weekends depending on my rota - please don’t hesitate to ask. I have two indoor cats just now however I have a large house with plenty of room and a large secure fenced off back garden. I am also in walking distance to three large parks and woodland walks.

“We cannot recommend Harris and Maria highly enough, they have been looking after our Jack Russell for 12 days while we have been on holiday, they kept us updated every day on how he was doing and our we guy was having a ball. He was clearly well looked after and had regular walks and their dog Molly was an amazing friend for him. We will definately be booking with Harris and Maria again. Exceptional dog sitters.”
“We'd a family emergency and Barry very kindly took Otto at short notice. Otto had a whale of a time, brilliant walks, and with Barry's support got on well with all the other dogs. Thank you Barry.”
“Another great stay with Ali and the gang. Our boy Blue used to be really anxious being left with anyone other than family. Now he's so happy to go to Ali's, even mentioning her name he gets so excited. This time it was just a 1 night / 2 day stay, along with his new little brother Cooper. This was coopers first time away from home without us. We were keen to hear how he was getting on. Ali kept us updated with plenty of videos and pictures and we are happy to say that he got on great! You could tell her was loving every moment, especially having some new friends to play with. We are so lucky to have found the right home away home ❤️”
“Hamish was very excited when we drove up to Sarah’s, jumped out of the car and ran in. Sarah sent me photographs a wee while later. He was settled nicely. He’d been unsettled during the night, unfortunately for Sarah. But he was fine when I collected him. He sat on my knee and slept when we got home. 24 hrs later and he’s definitely back to normal. He’s 7 and in all that time he’s only had 1 night away from family, but Sarah looked after him really well. He’s looking forward to another visit in the future, hopefully. Thank you, Sarah”
“Lizzie was amazing with brandy, unfortunately we had lost one of our dogs and brandy was not coping well without her. Lizzie made sure she had all the human contact she needed and went above and beyond during brandys stay. I will definitely use Lizzie again in the future.”
“Shubham and his lovely family welcomed Dash into their home. They sent regular updates of him relaxing and playing with their dog and young son. Shubham was very communicative throughout the process. Would definitely recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful week at Madeleine's. She provided regular updates with photos and replied to messages quickly. Hazel will definitely be back next time we need a sitter :)”
“I can’t recommend Rhona highly enough! She took exceptional care of Mindy, and it was brilliant that Mindy got to spend time with another Border Collie, Lottie. Receiving so many lovely pictures while we were away was fantastic. Rhona is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter who we will definitely use again. A+”
“First time our 5 month old puppy has been away from us. Daniela is so lovely and created such a relaxing and welcoming environment that our puppy clearly loved. We are so happy to have found Daniela and we will certainly be using her again.”
“It was our dogs first time away from us and he stayed with Kassandra for the weekend. He totally loved it and was so happy when we picked him up, not to see us because of his stay. I think he really enjoyed Kassandra, Keira and Mr Poes company and all the nice walks. We were quite worried about Baxter not settling in or being badly behaved but Kassandra put us at ease. Kassandra is very knowledgeable and professional and she has an excellent manner with dogs. We were sent regular updates and pictures of Baxter having fun on his walks and he seems to have taken a real shine to Kassandra. Kassandra will be our first choice for any dog sitting, walking or boarding requirements from now on.”
“Our experience with Eva was fantastic from start to finish. She made the booking process very easy and was very accommodating for both mine and Horace’s needs, including for drop off and pick up. Eva sent photos of Horace each day we were away and it was obvious that he had a brilliant time in her care. He enjoyed a decent walk each day and it was obvious when we picked him up that he had become fond of her and happy & relaxed in her home. I would definitely use Eva again - many thanks!”
About: I have had large breed rescue dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepards and Shepard crossbreeds. I do not currently have any dogs of my own due to work commitments so would love to spend time with other furry friends. Having studied biology at uni, I am a lover of all animals and have had previous experience at a public farm caring for farm animals and small animals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs and ferrets. I have also kept fish tanks from a young age, caring for a variety of both tropical and cold water species. Therefore, I would be happy to care for any other pets you may have. I also have had previous experience caring for a multi-pet household of 6 cats and 2 dogs. I am currently working in antibiotic research during weekdays so I am looking to get my animal fix mostly on weekends but could also do evenings from 6pm if required. Having had rescue dogs I understand the importance of patience and catering to the individual dogs needs both in the home as well as out on walks.
“Bear loved his stay with Zena. We had the chance to meet before his stay and Zena sent regular photos of Bear enjoying himself out walking/at the beach/cooling off in a paddling pool/resting on his bed in her house. Zena really gave me the confidence that Bear was in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our holidays. I would definitely use her again.”
“Summer was absolutely fantastic with Spot. He was looked after so well and loved staying with Summer. Spot was treated like a member of the family and enjoyed having doggie play mates for the 2.5 weeks. Although excited to see us, he has been moping around since he came home as he had such a good time. I would not hesitate to recommend Summer to anyone looking for an excellent dog boarder.”

“Cant rate Kathryn high enough. Olive loved her time there from the moment she was dropped off until I picked her up. I had total peace of mind the whole time she was there, Kathryn would send updates and pictures multiple times a day which really made the whole experience alot easier. If I ever need to board Olive again I wouldn't go anywhere else. Top class service and really good people.”
“Ellie had a lovely time with Lyndsay. I got updates and photos during her time there. I felt very confident that Ellie would be in good hands and will definitely book Lyndsay in the future.”
