“We were very happy with Nikeisha. She did a great job taking care of out elderly dogs. She made sure we were updated on a daily basis while we were on holiday and she took a good care of our house. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you very much for everything!”


“Joy has both house sat and walked my dogs.,, one of which is quite nervous, a few rimes now. She is very reliable, and both my dogs,and I trust her completely. It's great to be able to leave my dogs overnight or when at work with no stress.”


“Carolyn is a gem! She agreed to house sit for us at extremely short notice and was still flexible around our messy schedule. She had a lovely way with Vinnie and greeted him gently and politely so we were immediately comfortable leaving him in her care. We got plenty of lovely updates and snapshots of their day, he seemed totally comfortable with her. She followed the usual routines that we shared with her but was flexible and responsive to Vinnie, so used her initiative when our instructions didn't fit with his needs on the day. We will definitely call on Carolyn next time :-)”


“Joseph was excellent with our puppy Doug! He came a day before to go through his routine and we felt very comfortable leaving Doug in his hands! Joseph followed all instructions given and sent me regular updates throughout the day! He made sure to keep our puppy well stimulated whilst also allowing his to have a lot of downtime too! After he had left he gave some feedback for us on Doug! Could not reccomend Joseph more!”


“Lauren, was absolutely amazing with my boys, they were really looked after and walked and kept company the whole weekend. I can’t thank Lauren enough for this weekend. Hopefully we will get to use Lauren again before we move. Thank you so much for looking after shankly & Rushy xx”


“Thanks so much Olivia for looking after Honey yesterday. You were brilliant and with a lovely calm and reassuring manner. You played with Honey in the garden, took her on a lovely walk and stayed later too to make sure Hon wasn’t on her own. Please come again soon!”


“Hattie was super considerate and responsive, and most importantly, I came home to a very content and stress-free little doggy! I recommend her and have booked her in for more sitting in the future.”


“Emma recently stayed at our house and looked after our dog Mac, she was a superstar and ended up helping us out by staying an extra day when our plans changed. Mac has clearly enjoyed having her at home and seems really happy and settled.”


“Sienna was AMAZING. Lando has separation anxiety and she made the transition from us leaving very easy on him and he settled very quickly. She took him on many walks and made a real bond with him in a very short amount of time. Sienna ensured that he was well fed, walked and socialised. We are so glad we chose Sienna and will definitely be asking her to look after Lando again whether that is for an evening, weekend or even holidays. She kept us well informed without overbearing us and was also quick to respond. Sienna also adapted really quickly as this was a last minute thing. If I could give 10 out of 5 I would. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.”


About: I grew up in a family with: dogs, cats, horses and parrots! My love for animals has been there ever since I was born, I have 2 cats myself and would love to expand my little family! I love taking dogs out for a walk in the peaks with me. I treat all my animals like the family they are. I’ve spent my whole life around animals be it feeding and grooming the family horses to looking after my tropical fish as a child. I work from home 3 days a week and when I’m not in the office I am within a 10 minute walk to the office. I’m happy to look after animals throughout the week and weekend, happy to discuss any options that work for you. Dependent on the animals needs I will adjust my care accordingly, if a dog is active and requires 2/3 walks a day I’m more than happy to do this. If they are a little elder I’m happy to walk as and when necessary. They will be showered with affection and treats!

“Ruby was absolutely fantastic with our dog and cat. She respected all of our complicated requests and some how managed to tire out a border collie puppy! Absolutely would recommend and will be using her for housesitting again”


About: I grew up with two cats named Winnie and Claude alongside a black lab/akita mix named Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss was the sweetest big dog who thought he could still fit in your lap! I then had a shih tzu named Socks who was my sister and I's responsibility. I have cared for dogs of every size whilst their owners were away for sometimes weeks at a time. I recently have gained experience caring for puppies as a friend's dog had puppies and I would watch them for hours at a time (there were 7 of them!). I also have experience caring for reactive dogs due to trauma that has happened in their past that requires extra care. I am happy going on short or long walks depending on need. I have experience caring for older dogs as well and giving medicine if required. Please message if you have any questions for me. I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working Sunday mornings, Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday. I have Wednesdays and Saturdays off. My schedule is pretty flexible with the ability to occasionally work from home. I work in the centre of sheffield so it would be easy to pop over for breaks/walks if needed. The way I care for animals is in a calm way. When owners are away it can sometimes be stressful for them and my job is to stick to their routines as best as I can to make it as fun for them as it is for me. I will always ensure your pet's safety and make sure they have a great time while you're away.

“Lilliah settles well with Suki (our Chow Chow) and swiftly becomes friends. It is the first time we left Suki, and for two weeks is long. The way Suki wags her tail to Lilliah reassure you that Lilliah has her hearts to pets. There is no way to fake that, as animals sense these. Lilliah keep to schedules and any request we provided. On returning from our trip, Suki looks just the same as if we have walked out and walk straight back in. As a dog owner, I am sure that is exactly what we all seek if we had to go away, the peace of mind that our dog is being loved in our absence. Lilliah certainly given that. It is the next day now as I write this, we can tell Suki is searching the house for a friend, a friend she made in our absence, thanks Lilliah for the two weeks.”


About: I come from a family of dog owners, and have a lot of experience dog-sitting and walking for friends and family (over 10 years experience). I’m a civil servant working fully from home. My work is very flexible allowing lots of walks and breaks during the day, meaning I can accommodate your pets routine easily. Having grown up in a household with dogs, and regularly dog-sitting for friends and family I have lots of experience looking after dogs. If from my house, I have an enclosed garden and live close to a country park - perfect for walks.

About: As a huge animal lover who’s had dogs all my life, caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve gained hands-on experience through multiple house and dog sitting roles. I’m trained in canine first aid, have volunteered with dog rescues, and hold a First Class degree in Animal Science and Bioveterinary, with an offer to study veterinary medicine. Beyond qualifications, I’m simply someone who connects deeply with animals and treats every dog as if they were my own. You can relax knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I have graduated from Animal Science and Bioveterinary at the University of Nottingham, and currently on my gap year, so I have a lot of time! I will be starting Veterinary Medicine in April 2026, which has been my dream for as long as I can remember. My top priority is creating a safe and comfortable environment for them, building trust and respecting their individual needs. I will follow your routines and instructions closely (feeding times, medications, number of walks, toilet breaks) so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. I’m trained in canine first aid, and as an aspiring vet, I always pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing. You can trust that your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and complete attention to their individual needs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dog for over 10 years - they’ve taught me about patience, loyalty, and how to listen without words. Volunteering at cat cafe’ gave me the chance to care for cats with all kinds of personality, from shy to sassy, and I loved every minute of it. I also spend a lot of curiosity, but because I truly enjoy learning how to make animals feel understood, safe, and loved. Caring for pets is naturally part of my day. Every morning starts with feeding, walks, or just quiet time with my dogs - it’s the best way to begin the day. Throughout the week, I make time for play, training, and grooming, making sure they feel active and loved. Watching pet care videos or reading up on new tips has also become a relaxing part of my evenings. Whether it’s my own pets or others I’m helping care for, I treat it as a meaningful, joyful part of my routine - not a task, but a connection. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is making them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or special habits their pet is used to. When I walk dogs, their safety and happiness come first. I use secure leashes, stay alert to the surroundings, and walk at a pace that suits the dog’s energy level. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I make sure they feel calm, cared for, and get the attention they deserve.
