About: I have had many pets throughout my life, and I currently own a cat. I know first hand that pets are part of the family and needs the best care and patience from their owner. I have no problem with cleaning litter trays, cleaning up after accidents / toileting or grooming of needs be. I currently work Full time, however I can fit in 2 home visits a day to ensure your pet is safe, fed and doesn't feel lonely! I currently have no capacity to look after pets at my home, but I can be trusted to look after your pets in their own surroundings

About: Growing up on a farm with three dogs and two cats, I’ve always been comfortable around animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for large breeds like German Shepherds and recently looked after a needy, fussy dog with special challenges—he tries to run at cars, isn’t great with other dogs or people, but I’ve built a strong bond with him and handled his unique needs with patience and care. I also have experience housesitting for extended periods, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Reliable, experienced, and animal-loving—I’d be the perfect choice to look after your furry friend! I currently work 40 hours a week, with some days starting really early and finishing by 2pm, while other days I don’t start til late (11am). This gives me plenty of time in the mornings or afternoons to spend caring for your animals. I live alone with no other commitments or pets of my own, as I can't have pets where I live and don’t have a garden for them to play in. That means I can dedicate focused, flexible time to looking after your furry friends. I’m available for boarding from around 2:30pm on weekdays or early mornings, depending on days/shift pattern. On weekends, I’m fully available and flexible to accommodate your needs. I live in a very peaceful neighborhood with plenty of lovely areas for long walks. Whether caring for pets at my own place or theirs, I’m always happy to find enjoyable walks to keep your furry friends active and content.

“Katie's dog sitting service exceeded all expectations, providing exceptional care for my elderly rescue dog, Betty, who currently struggles with behavioural issues. Katie's expertise and genuine love for dogs shone through in every aspect of her service. From the moment I stepped into her home, I felt reassured by the clean and welcoming environment she had created. It was evident that Katie had tailored her space perfectly for dog sitting, ensuring it was both comfortable and safe for furry guests like Betty. What truly set Katie apart was her patience and understanding. She took the time to connect with Betty, recognising her unique needs and quirks. This level of attentiveness instilled confidence in me, knowing that Betty was in capable hands. Throughout Betty's stay, Katie provided regular updates and delightful photos, allowing me to relax knowing she was in good spirits. These thoughtful touches demonstrated Katie's commitment to transparency and ensuring pet owners remained connected with their beloved companions. In addition to Katie's exceptional care, I must also commend her wonderful dog, Daisy. Daisy's presence added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to Betty's stay. It was apparent that Daisy embodied the same attributes of nurturing care, remarkable patience, and endearing charm as Katie. Their dynamic duo made Betty's experience even more enjoyable, and I am grateful for the positive influence they had on her during her stay. Katie and Daisy truly make an unbeatable team, and I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding service In summary, Katie's professionalism, genuine care, and expertise make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a dog sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and look forward to entrusting Betty to her care again in the future.”


“Luna is brilliant, and it’s obvious that she has so much love for animals. My 2 year old vizsla loved having Luna over while I was on a short work trip. It was my first time leaving my previous dog with someone who wasn’t family, but it went really well and I can tell Cleo was very calm and happy after their time together. I can highly recommend Luna, and we will be booking her again.”


About: I grew up with pets (mostly dogs). There were too many times in my life where i couldnt care for pets due to scheduling issues but 21st century and apps like this can fix that🙂 I looked after friends and family pets throughout all my life. I'm a very patient and relaxed guy who loves going hikes and walks so your doggo will get plenty of exercise. Im very familiar with what to do in case of emergencies too, however more than anything would prefer to prevent one from happening. I'm currently working full time and whilst i would love to have my own pet to go back home to, i can't put them through the pains of me not being there for them at all times. Saying that, I love animals and would like to spend more time with them. Evening and weekends is what I can currently offer, however, the second that changes, I will be getting my own pet 😉 I can offer some short stays at mine for doggos of all shape and sizes. I live in a 2 bed ground flat with a small garden. Plenty of space for them to cuddle and chill. I also drive so within reasonable distance I can come over to yours and sit with them.

About: I have had pets my whole life, and looking after them has been a big part of my life growing up. I have been called a “dog whisperer” by my friends, as even dogs who are normally wary seem to be comfortable around me. I dogsit for friends and family all the time, being the trusted family member as I just love dogs and understand them so well. I can look after dogs of all shapes and sizes, with experience of all behaviours, including reactivity and dogs who pull. I am responsible and compassionate and will give your pet all the love. I am a student and I work part time, so I have lots of time in the day and night to fuss over your pup and play with them. I will prioritise your dog’s comfort, routine, and safety above all else. I’ll make sure everything feels calm, consistent, and reassuring while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether that’s around feeding, walking, training, or cuddles—so your dog feels as settled as possible. I’m experienced with dogs of all personalities and behaviours, including those who are reactive or nervous, and I always approach them with patience, empathy, and gentle care. While staying in your home, I’ll treat the space with complete respect, keeping things clean and leaving everything just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and well loved.

Hi, my names Vicky and I currently work full time in the prison service, however I find myself having plenty of spare time to care for fur babies.

“I had the pleasure of having Sam as my dog sitter for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Sam took care of my beloved dogs Taylor, Luna, and Joy at my place, and I am extremely grateful for his dedication and care. From the moment I met Sam, I could tell he had a genuine love for animals. He was warm, friendly, and immediately connected with my furry companions. It was evident that he understood the importance of building trust and forming a bond with each dog individually. Sam's attention to detail was remarkable. He made sure to spend quality time with each dog, giving them the attention and affection they needed. Whether it was playing fetch in the backyard, going for long walks, or simply cuddling on the couch, Sam made sure my dogs felt loved and cared for.
