“Nikeisha did a great job looking after our Sprocker for a day. She was very flexible and took time to learn the requirements needed. She kept us updated through the day and the dog loved her!”
“It was amazing to go on holiday and know we were leaving our reactive dog in safe hands at home in the place she feels most comfortable. Shannon gave brilliant and reassuring daily updates, and looked after Poppy so well. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter!! First time going away without taking Teddy with us so we were so happy to leave him in good company with Ellen!! Such an amazing job! The daily pup-dates were soo lovely and informative! 🥰🐾🐶 definitely rebooking!! Xoxo”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 14. I was the neighbourhood/ family friend dog sitter. Pet sitting in their homes as well as dog walking I was the go to girl. I have an older frenchie, who is crate trained and low energy 90% of the time (loves play and snoozing). If your animals do not get on with others, he has an alternate owner to stay with. Please just let me know. I work from home permanently so your pets needs will fit into my work schedule very easily. Whether I am pet sitting in your home or dropping by my full attention will be to your animals. If your dogs are ok with others, Charlie would love a park play date / walk. If he is welcome to sleep over, he is strictly crate trained and will be dropped home after breakfast and morning walks. Let me know your preferences. He will never be left with your pet without me there. We respect your home and pet’s comfort. Caring for your fur-baby will fit perfectly into my working from home (full time) day. From play time, walks and park fun your pet will have a purfect day. My full attention will cater to any special needs.
“Grave arrived with plenty of time for me to explain how to look after Nelly. She sent us updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy dog who had been well looked after. Would definitely book again.”
“Thank you Tasha and Huw! We got in touch at really short notice for doggie daycare to look after our two spaniels and they were brilliant, we got loads of photos and really detailed messages of how the visit was going :) Our dogs are knackered now, thanks again for looking after them today!”
About: Hi, I’m Tas! I just moved to Sheffield and i work as a teaching assistant and I love animals! Cats are the best kind of pet in the world, I have a beautiful white and tabby cat called Bucky and a tuxedo kitten called Izzy who are my entire world. Other minor hobbies include reading and working out! I also love dogs and have walked dogs before and been around them, i don’t have extensive experience looking after dogs but am keen to get experience in it and learn and i walk a tonne anyway! I work 8-3 monday to friday i don’t have many other hobbies other than cats so i have lots of free time and i also only work term time so i have lots of time during holidays at the minute ive only catsat and thus has fit quite neatly around my usual routines currently i am catsitting for miso who would like 2 drop in visits a day, this is for 2 weeks while im working so i pop in to give her breakfast and do her litter and a quick cuddle at around 7am then i go over straight after work and spend some extra time with her and give her dinner before leaving for the night With cats, respecting their space and boundaries is something i take very seriously I have been around so many cats over the years so am adept at reading body language and figuring out what they want and need. cats have lots of different personalities but generally making sure they get enough interaction, socialisation and play is really important so i always make sure to play with them as much as possible, overall i follow the cats lead!
“Grace took excellent care of our cats and our home while we were away, and also sent a bunch of very cute videos and photos so we knew our fluff balls were safe and happy. If you have Grace overnight, she is tidy and respectful of belongings and space. Highly recommend her for your cat sitting needs. ”
“Hyland took great care of our dog and house, making sure to take our dog on regular walks and kept her mentally stimulated and kept on top of her medication and treat schedule. She made sure to message us, and reply quickly to keep us updated. We very much appreciate everything. Great sitter.”
“Priscila took very good care of our beloved pooch whilst we were away. Willow is a large dog who does not get on with all dogs. There were no issues whilst she looked after her and we were provided with regular updates and photos. The house was spotless when we returned and Willow seemed very well looked after. Priscila's communication was great, feeding and medication instructions were followed and she was very quick to reply to communications. I would recommend her strongly to any dog owner!”
“The lovely Jessica! What a relaxing weekend I have had knowing Boris was in safe hands. Constant updates and pictures. Boris was more than happy with Jessica. They had alloys of cuddles. Jessica also left my flat very clean and I felt comfortable having Jessica in my home. I would highly recommend. 5 Stars! 🌟”
“Ada was brilliant with Lilith, very polite and respectful of our house and pets. Very punctual (arrived early so we could leave at the time we needed, very thoughtful!) and kept us up to date through the evening. Lilith took to Ada straight away and looked like she had a great time. We felt very comfortable with Ada being in our house and look forward to booking with Ada again :D”
About: We have looked after animals most of our lives! Friends and family often get us to look after their animals and take them for walks! Personally we have both had a dogs for 14 years so lots of experience and joy found in looking after animals! A nurse with time during the week between shifts and recent graduate who can work from home adhoc so lots of time for walks and playing with your pets! We have an enclosed patio with room for your pet to go to the toilet and have a little run around and we have lots of green space nearby for lovely walks! Transportation available to come to your location!
About: I've taken care of dogs for others since I was a teenager. Most recently, I was a regular unpaid house sitter for the owner of a 14 year old German Pointer who loved fuss! I work a full-time 9-5 job but have some flexibility to work from home depending on my schedule. Mostly, I will be available on week day evenings and weekends. Most of my previous experience has been house sitting for a senior dog with separation anxiety so I understand the care and respect required to look after your canine family member in their own home.
“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.”
“Callum did a great job house sitting for my Bernese mountain dog, Ammy. Ammy is a big dog and a big character, but Callum took it all in his stride and did a fantastic job of looking after him. When we got home it was clear that Ammy was really happy and got on super well with Callum! Callum was reliable and made sure ammy was fed, walked twice a day and had plenty of interest and company - and provided regular updates. He also did a lovely job of looking after the house while we were away, leaving it clean and tidy. We would absolutely book Callum to house sit again.”
About: Your pets will be spoiled rotten with me! I've cared for dogs and cats for years, including many rescues with special needs I'm very observant and detail oriented, if I notice anything unusual like a limp or change in appetite, you'll hear from me straight away. Expect plenty of photo updates while you're away because I can't help myself! Prefer daytime drop-offs for boarding it helps dogs settle in more easily and reduces first night anxiety. I was working part-time and recently took a break, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of time for pet care. Most weekdays I'm free, and I can also cover weekends when needed. I'm usually home and love spending quality time with the pets I'm sitting, I live in a flat with access to a safe shared garden. I love taking dogs out for walks in the park and longer hikes when the weather's nice. Your pet will be well looked after and comfortable with me.
About: Hiii! I’m Paris and I’m 23. I love animals and I’ve always had different pets growing up - I am such an animal person. I would like to say that I’m a compassionate person and I love helping others too 😊. I have a cat myself, his name is Shadow and we adopted him when he was young. He’s my little companion and best friend and I would like to think that I’d also be able to be a friendly face to your cat too!

Ada has been brilliant- she came to meet my Frenchie Ralph the day before and I had total confidence in her then. She let me know when she arrived and left. Sent pics of Ralph and was very communicative. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Ada! Highly recommended
Alex looked after our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. We left home feeling completely confident that they were in safe and capable hands. Alex is enthusiastic, trustworthy, and immediately puts you at ease. He kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.
Rhianna was amazing! She was so accommodating to my Mabel's routine and regularly sent updates so we could see how she was doing. And from the pictures and videos, it looked like Mabel had a great time! Would definitely love to have Rhianna look after Mabel again should we need to.
Fay looked after our dog Frankie at our house while we went on holiday and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after her! Fay was so attentive to Frankie’s needs and made her feel so comfortable, she kept us updated with lots of photos and we felt totally relaxed knowing she was in safe hands. Thank you Fay for looking after Frankie so well, we are very grateful 🐾
We felt so assured and comfortable leaving our 12 week old puppy with Shannon for 2 days, they took care in knowing his routine and clearly love and know a lot about dogs (and puppies!) We'd highly recommend Shannon and I know Bertie our puppy would love to see them again!
Hyland was so lovely! Mango got lots of lovely cuddles and they had plenty of sleepovers while we were away, which was very reassuring. The only very small thing is we would have appreciated a quick pic each day; but that’s on me for not clarifying. Will certainly reach out to her the next time we’re on holiday! X

Isla stayed in our home with our dog, Lola, and our cat, Maki, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She sent us frequent photo updates, and it was clear they were having a great time with her. She also left the house clean and tidy after her stay. Isla was an amazing sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again.
