“Yu was fantastic. Professional and competent, can't ask for more. She sent us lot of updates and photos and when we came back our dog was extremely happy and relaxed. And even though we have a very excitable young dog, she didn't have any trouble taking proper care of him. Couldn't recommend enough!”


“Charmian is great! We came home to a happy little whippet. Charmian kept me updated throughout the day which is always wonderful. She’s great with Korra. Would definitely recommend her. We’ll be booking her to keep an eye on Korra again soon”


“Holly did a fantastic job she managed Poppy and Rosie and there little quirks well. Also managed the girls in the high temperatures really well. The house was also well looked after.”


“Isabelle was absolutely brilliant with Ted, she sent photos to us while we were out which was lovely! Ted really took to her and he was well looked after. She was confident and caring, highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again 🩷”


“Jazz was absolutely brilliant with Ted, she sent photos and videos to us while we were out which was lovely! Ted really took to her and he was well looked after.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age, I weekly take care of my aunties dog since a puppy, we enjoy days out together and walks! I have my own dog and I also look after my best friends dog when they are away! I am currently a self employed performer, who has flexibility to walk you dog, I can do early mornings and day times, and during the summer I am more than happy to do evenings for walking or drop ins I will always be safe and caring towards an animal I know sometimes they will be nervous of me so I have to gain there trust! I love dog walking and exercise so it’s a perfect combination

About: I have been walking my friend's dog for about 4 years and he has recently become blind. I am very protective of him when walking. I have recently taken early retirement. I have many hobbies but walking is my main one so dog walking would fit nicely into that. I have always loved dogs. I think I have had empty nest syndrome since my 3 children left home 😁 We have a large garden but the dog wouldn't be able to be left there on its own as it is not secure. I would have to take it out on the lead.

“Our dog was very happy with Amber . He can be quite anxious when we aren't with him but he was lovely and calm when we got home . I would recommend Amber to look after your dog . Very happy customers !”


“Emily has been wonderful, staying in our house and looking after Angus while we were away for 10 days. We received regular updates of their time together, hanging out, playing and on a variety of different walks. Angus has LOVED their time together and that they both looked so happy made us feel really at ease. Emily looked after our house perfectly and we will definitely ask her to have Angus again when we next go away.”


“While we stayed in Hythe for a week, Ina looked after our little pooch Izzy on three occasions. Ina is really flexible, responsive, and most importantly little izzy genuinely adored Ina. Her tail was going like the clappers every time Ina arrived! Many thanks Ina :)”


About: I’ve had many different kinds of pets since I was a child. I also currently have a cat and a dog. I love looking after all kinds of animals. I can walk, feed, clean cages, and pet sit dogs and cats in your home. I’m a retired police officer and available to feed, walk or sit with your pets throughout the day and evening or overnight. I am very trustworthy, reliable and love all animals. I can look after small caged pets in my own home like mice, guinea pigs, rabbits etc. Cats and dogs I will look after in your own home as I have a cat and dog myself.

“Georgia is fantastic. Bernie absolutely loves her to bits and she takes the best care of him. I get constant updates and pictures and she will also ask if she’s unsure of anything. Can highly recommend”


About: I have always grown up.with pets in the house and mainly they have been XXL size dogs. This makes it a lot easier when it comes to looking after other people's pets especially if they are on the larger side. I currently do a house sitting for a lovely bull mastiff cross Rottweiler and he just loves the time we get to spend together. Please feel free to ask anything else you might want to know I've just currently been made redundant so am looking to just fill my time between finding another job. I will of course keep doing this where possible once I know what my new working schedule will be. I currently have 2 indoor cats so as you can imagine the main priority it making sure they don't attempt the great escape so I'm very conscious of doors and windows being opened. Where they are indoors cats it does mean they need more playtime and interaction so that's never a problem, most of my free time will be playing with them or giving them love

About: Dogs are the best and I am dedicated to making them happy and healthy. I get so much joy out of caring for them and it’s so rewarding to see them enjoying life. I have trained many puppies and my own dogs have excellent recall and do a range of tricks. Building trust and good relationships with dogs is second nature to me and I have experience caring for them from being a small child. I work from home part time so there is plenty of empty hours that I could dedicate to looking after doggies. My current circumstances make for the perfect opportunity to do what I love which is spending time with furry friends :) I live in close proximity to a large dog park and some lovely woodland walks. My garden is on the smaller side but it’s very secure and dogs have free rein of both the garden and the house. I have 3 friendly, small dogs who love making new friends and will happily share their squeaky toys.

“Samantha was amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving her in my home looking after things and the fur babies. I came home to a clean house and seeing the way my dog greeted Samantha with me here proved she was obviously well looked after. Only criticism is it’s a shame Samantha isn’t local as I’d definitely be using her again!”


About: I have several years of experience in the animal care field - i have volunteered at a cattery and kennels, a farm, and multiple vet practices. I have owned dogs, cats and hamsters in the past, and currently have three birds! My experience in kennels means I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from great Danes to chihuahuas. I currently work in a school which has a farm on which I help out sometimes also! I am available for dog walking, house sitting, and cat house boarding. If you require boarding of other animals such as hamsters, mice, snakes, etc. I am happy to provide that too as long as they come with their cage set up, or i can pop in to see them also :) I am available for the whole summer holidays! I currently work full time, so Boarding of cats is available on weekends, unless your cat is used to being left for longer periods, then I will happily take them for longer boarding stays. I am available for dog walks every evening during the weekday and anytime on the weekend. I don't work school holidays and half terms so I am able to do longer boarding, house sitting, etc. Then! I live in a flat, so can only accept house cats, but this means that they will remain in constant safety when with me! When I am caring for your pet, I will carefully follow your feeding regime, and carry out any other tasks you would usually do with them.
