About: I have owned both cats and dogs throughout my life, believing that a house is not a home unless it comes with a furry companion. My oldest dog lived until 17, so I am aware what care comes with looking after a senior dog. My most recent dog I’ve raised from birth so have experience training younger pets too. I don’t currently have a cat as I live on a main road but I love cats as well, so am open to caring for both. I look after family and friends pets when they are away on holidays or trips and would love to continue this on a wider scale. I am recently left my full-time job on medical grounds and have taken up pet sitting as my main job, therefore I am able to dedicate fully to your pets needs. I believe that it is important for pets to feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings, which is why I only offer pet sitting in their own homes to provide familiarity and comfort to pets whilst their owners are away.

“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.”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved in their owners’ absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, needs, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet enjoys company, playtime, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly indoor cat. While she is gentle and calm around other animals, she can be a little nervous around unfamiliar pets. To ensure a stress-free environment for everyone, I can keep her on a separate floor of the house when needed. My home has three floors, providing plenty of space to safely separate pets if required. I will always make sure that both your pet and my cat are comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)

“Jonny helped us out at short notice. He was really friendly and communicative. Our dog Teddy seems to have had a really good time with him. Appreciated the photos throughout the day. Thanks Jonny!”

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover and owner. Apart from the Yorkshire terrier I had as a child, I've always been a fan/owner of rescue dogs, all shapes n size's n ages n medical needs and more. I'm happy to give animals any medication they may need, I understand if any pets have fears about other dogs, or objects. I can appreciate if you or your pet have any routines that need to be followed, and I will always abide by any rules/needs you and your pet have. I've experience of nervous dogs. I've also self funded my level 3 qualification in canine first aid, and I'm always keen to learn more about animals, dogs in particular, their psychology needs, training, behaviour. And I looked after a friend's housecat in January, so I've learned to change litter trays, and the importance of keeping housecats safe. My friends cat needs medication at set times through the day, so I got up early to give this, I adapted to the needs of the cat, and I'd do the same for any animal. It is a long time since I had rabbits, guinea pigs etc, but if you can educate about what you require me to do for your pet, then I'm eager to learn! Currently I help to care for my elderly father part time, but I have plenty of time to care for your pet needs. I don't have any children, and are unable to have my own pets , so I'd love to help other people care for their pets. I'm very adaptable, I drive my own car, I'm happy to work around your schedule. All I want to do is keep your pet and yourself happy. I adapt to whatever the situation I'm in presents to me. I understand that as humans are unique, so are our pets too. Keeping pets to routine they are used to me matters hugely to me, and equally keeping pets safe is of the utmost importance to me. As is respecting your and your pets privacy, I would never take a photo of your pet without permission, and I'd never post on social media. When I had my own dogs, I'd get up and let them into the garden if needed, then a cuddle and fuss, give them a little bit of breakfast, I'd have a cuppa, get dressed, and we would go for a walk. Then back home, a clean up if needed, a treat for them. If they wanted to play with toys then we would, if they wanted a nap they had one. Then another walk in the afternoon, then their main meal around 5pm, a dental stick around 6.30pm. Then more play if wanted, outside in the garden. Or snuggling on the sofa with me. I've tended to have mature dogs who enjoyed snoozing, but I was happy to go with whatever the dogs wanted. If my dogs needed it, they were bathed outdoors, as my bathroom is small lol.

“Jordan was wonderful with Satan and took great care of both her and my home. Communication was easy, I received regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Jordan stay again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Isabelle helped me out at very short notice which I really appreciated. She is a lovely young lady who has a natural affinity with dogs. Mila, who can be anxious with new people, was totally relaxed with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isabelle, and look forward to seeing her again in the future. Thanks again Isabelle!”

“John looked after Riley for a second time and once again was brilliant with her. She can be a bit 'stressed and shouty ' initially but he's able to quickly bond with her and she soon accepts him. Would definitely recommend 😃”

Lucie M.

“Megan was brilliant from start to finish. I have two labs and one of them is very nervous. She was happy to come and meet them beforehand and my nervous dog loves her! She kept me updated throughout her stay and the house was immaculate. Our dogs are usually quite stressed when we return but they weren’t this time and it was lovely to see!”

About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had cats, dogs and kittens and also rabbits. I have experience looking after people’s kittens/cats/senior cats and also puppies/adult dogs and senior dogs. I have medication administration experience as our old senior cat had medical conditions which required medication. I love looking after furbabies to ensure their individual needs are being met taking into consideration their different personalities. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Friday but I am free evenings and over the weekend. Over the weekend I am more flexible to look after pets in my own home, take them for walks and do drop in sessions. I can also offer dog walking/ drop in sessions in the evening after work hours. I have a fenced backyard for your furbaby and I am a 5 minute walk away from a field. I am available to meet up prior to a sit/walk or drop in so I am able to meet you and your furbaby so you can assess who is going to look after your family member.
