“Absolutely brilliant, my dogs took to Lucy really well which is what I was originally worried about as they don't interact with other people that much, they also don't spend a lot of time without me. So having them warm up to her so well was great for them, recieved plenty of photos and information on their report card from both their drop ins. When I arrived home from being away all day as much as they were going nuts to see me home they seemed calm at the same time to have had someone drop in to make sure they were ok, spend time with them and let them out to the toilet. Would definitely recommend Lucy.”

“Oksana was an absolute delight. She is so lovely and kind and kept us updated the whole time. We booked drop-in home visits and Oksana took time out of her day to meet us and our cat before the date booked to make sure everything we wanted and needed understood. Our cat was very happy. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Excellent! What more can we say. Danielle did everything and more that we asked her to do. She was good with the boys; changed litter and made sure their every need was attended to. Jack and Will were semi-feral cats and this is the first time they have been left. When we came home, they were chilled and just as when we left them. All thanks to Danielle. A job well done. Would highly recommend Danielle. Wendy and Barbara”

About: With 21 years of hands-on pet care experience, I offer calm, home-style boarding and sitting. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, anxious pets and seniors, and I stick closely to your instructions and routine. Safety comes first: secure doors/gates, lead rules, and careful supervision. I can support basic training habits (sit, stay, lead manners) and I’m happy to send frequent updates so you feel confident while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m at home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention, comfort and supervision. This means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine for feeding, toilet breaks, play and rest. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times (with notice), and I’m available for weekday and weekend bookings depending on dates. Because I work from home, pets are not left alone for long periods and are supervised throughout the day. I keep a calm, safe home environment and follow your instructions closely (feeding routine, walking preferences, medication, and house rules). I’m careful with doors and safety checks, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.

About: Have had pets my entire life and helped friends and family with walking and dog sitting when they had other commitments so happy to help. Free almost everyday and can move things around if needed on short notice. I am happy to drive a little to complete a visit too. I have a pet myself and she is very special to me so I would treat your pets as my own as I understand how much it can mean to trust someone else with them.

About: Since I was young we've had pets in the home, from rabbits to dogs, I've been around them all and have loved every one of them. From my teen years I have helped look after family pets and the pets of my friends. In university I had my own furbabies who were extremely playful, cuddly cats that, literally bounced off the walls at times. I've recently moved to the area and i work very closely with Jamie S. (another sitter on this app) and can offer 24/7 care for all kinds of beloved pets, as I am not currently working, so your furbaby will have constant companionship whilst you are away, with guaranteed daily updates. I am currently not working so I can offer around the clock care for fur babies. I can assure 24/7 company for pets and as an animal lover I can guarantee that cuddles and playtime will be plentiful. With every animal I prioritise their health and happiness. I ensure to follow any and all instructions given by the pets owner to ensure their safety. The comfort of the animal is number one, so I will always ensure they feel safe with me in any situation.

About: I have years of experience in large-scale kennels and dog daycare centres. I am qualified in canine first aid and have training in canine behaviour and welfare. I have my crazy boy big Moose so I’m used to the nutters! I am able to cater for dogs with injuries or conditions that need exercise suited to them due to my vet physio background:) I am a practicing veterinary physiotherapist mon-thurs. Fridays, Saturday and Sundays I am available for dog walks and drop ins! On these days I can be flexible on times: morning, afternoon or evenings. I always follow any instructions left by the owner. When walking dogs, I have an SUV with a large crash tested crate to transport dogs to and from walking fields if desired. Alternatively, I can remain in the local area that you usually walk your dog, up to you!

About: I've always loved dogs and rescued my own dog in Spain over 2 years ago. I have first-hand experience of building trust, patience and creating a safe, loving environment. As a primary school teacher, a nurturing approach to little personalities comes naturally to me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in safe and loving hands. 🫶🏽🐾 📅I have availability for dog walking in the evenings and at weekends. I will always do my best to align my availability to your schedule.🐾 🏡 I can offer drop-ins tailored to you to check in on your fur baby while you are away, making sure they are safe and happy. 🕐30 minute walks can be on 1:1 basis, or if you prefer your dog to have some socialisation and play time, my own friendly dog can join us. 🐕‍🦺 These walks can take place in your local area, nearby woodlands or nearby parks. 🕐For 60-minute walks, and with your permission, your dog will join me on suitable fun-filled adventures further afield🚗. Please note that my own friendly, well-socialised dog will always accompany 60 minute walks, so this option is best suited to dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. 🐕‍🦺🦮 🏡Your dog can board in my home at weekends. They will be treated as part of the family. My own dog is friendly and very energetic/playful. He is willing to share his home with other loving dogs. When dogs stay with me, you can count on an adventure - hiking, forest walks, trips to the beach etc.🌳🌊 I also have a fenced, medium-sized garden, so the dogs will get plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and outdoor play throughout the day. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always come first. I have an enhanced DBS check through my role in education, so you can feel confident welcoming me into your home. I'll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and stick to your dog's usual routine.

“Ella picked up a very last minute request for a walk for our spaniel Reggie and we're so pleased with the service she provided. She was really accommodating so we could meet before the walk and Reggie loved her straight away! It was particularly hot the day of the walk so Ella shortened the walk and spent time in the shade to make sure Reggie didn't over heat! Very professional, kind and caring service which we will definitely use again!”

About: I’ve always had dogs when growing up, 4 and 5 at a time, working and none working dogs which I loved to walk and train. I enjoy the outdoors and spend most of my free time walking and enjoying nature. My availability will mostly be weekends and school holidays as I work term time. However, I live a few minutes away from my place of work, and provided pet is not anxious or happy to be left for periods of time (no more than 3 hours), I am happy to consider during the week care to help owners if needed. All dogs will receive a minimum of three good walks a day and anything else that is needed. I live in an area which has access to lots of walks, long and short. As well as plenty of walks including beaches and trails just a car journey away if pet is ok to travel. I have a fenced garden, safe for dogs of all sizes. Your pet will be treated like a family member, lots of walks, kisses and cuddles, a place on the sofa and a bed to sleep in.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. As well as having dogs of my own, I have professional experience working in animal kennels, where I cared for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. I currently have a French Bulldog of my own, so I know first-hand that every breed has its own individual needs. I’m particularly familiar with brachycephalic breeds and understand the extra care they can require when it comes to exercise, warmer weather, breathing and knowing when they’ve had enough. My kennel experience has made me confident around all kinds of dogs, from smaller or more nervous dogs that need a little extra patience and reassurance, to large, energetic breeds that love plenty of exercise. I’m very active myself, so I’m more than happy with long walks, energetic dogs and lots of playtime! I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, so owners can have that extra peace of mind when trusting me with not only their much loved pet, but their home too. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in somebody else’s care. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and routine and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Your pet won’t just be looked after they’ll be treated like one of my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available around my working hours during the week and have more flexibility at weekends. I’m very active, so walks, playtime and keeping energetic dogs entertained fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and individual needs, so I’ll always follow the care instructions you provide. My previous kennel experience means I’m confident caring for different breeds, sizes and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, they’ll be treated with the same care, patience and attention I give my own. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, so owners can have that extra peace of mind when trusting me with not only their much loved pet, but their home too.

“Louise is absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is very reliable, has great communication, and always keeps me updated with regular messages and photos from every visit. My 6 month old puppy absolutely loves her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and treats them like her own. Thank you so much, Louise!”
