“Amy was amazing when looking after my 2 cats doing drop in visits. She went above and beyond making sure they were getting plenty of fuss and that they were being taken care of whilst we were away! Fantastic service and communication, thank you!”


“Fernanda is a lovely lady with a clear passion for pets. This was my first booking with her, for a couple of drop in visits for my cats, one of whom is very shy. It was great to get updates about her arrival and departure, along with pictures and videos, especially of my shy boy coming out of hiding for a fuss from her. Feel secure in the knowledge that they were in safe hands while I was away, and won't hesitate to book her again. Thank you!”


“Sarah is helpful and understanding of my older cat's needs. She has helped with administering medicene, even suggested a dietary regime that really helps. My shy little girl has really warmed to Sarah and now accepts treats and strokes. Thank you Sarah.”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from puppies to reactive rescues. I appreciate that every dog is different and wants a different level of love and attention. I live an active lifestyle so if your dog loves adventures (and doesn’t mind the car) I’d be more than happy to take them along. As I said, I have it on good authority that I’m great at fetch… I have the luxury of a work from home role. This means I can be available for your pet all day. I love a lunchtime/after work walk and to read in the evenings - especially if there’s a pooch to cuddle while I do. I can do home visits before your booking to meet your pet with you so they’re used to me. Additionally this gives us time to tour any off-limit rooms for me and the pets as well as crating them if necessary.

About: I work for an animal charity which trains dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of techniques to help dogs settle into unfamiliar environments. I understand how important it is to let them choose how they want to interact. I work full time so am only able to offer weekend cover. I wouldn't plan to leave any dog alone in a new place no matter how adaptable they are. I don't have any of my own pets as they don't suit my schedule. I have a small, fully secure back garden and live in a fairly quiet cul de sac. I don't use any punishing equipment eg half check collars or pet correcter. But I'm happy to chat about dogs who need muzzles (if they're already wearing them).

About: I have always loved animals. I currently have my adorable 3 year old Goldendoodle Nova and 10 year old cat Percy. I am a huge outdoor person who loves going out walking and exploring so there will always be time for your family members to come and join me. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I currently work full time Mon-Fri but after 5pm I have all the time in the world for your pets for evening drop ins so you can enjoy a night out without any worries. I am also available at weekends, so if you ever have plans for a weekend away I am able to come make sure your fur babies are not alone. At home I have a secured fenced garden with a padlocked side gate. I have Nova who will always be willing to play in the garden or the local fields. In your home I am flexible to work and support your pets in your usual way to avoid any disruption to their day.

About: I train, breed and have fostered guide dogs for a number of years. We love all animals and offer a safe loving and fun environment. I'm at home working as a carer, i also craft from home. Dogs are my life alongside my husband. We have lots of free time to spend with your furbaby. We have a secure fenced garden full of toys and play areas with cctv. Our 2 Labradors love having company. We offer plenty of enrichment for those unbearable hot days where it's not safe to take out for walks due to the heat. I have plenty of time,energy to spend with my own girls who love to spend time with newbie playmates. Ball chucks and long walks are a must in our daily routine. I also hold a Enhanced DBS as I volunteer craft days for the local council and also do Facepainting for children, my calendar fits around these activities.

“Thank you for visiting our lovely Luna over the last few days. We’ve been sent updates and photos daily and her usual routine with her tablets and treats have been followed and she seems her usual happy self. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future xx”


About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life and am happiest when taking care of them. So much so I have pursued a career as a veterinary nurse! My skills as a nurse mean I am great at understanding your pets' behaviour and can fulfill any medication requirements they may have. I live away from my own pets so I miss spending quality time with animals and I can't wait to meet yours! As well as my experience at work and with my own pack, I have cared for my friend's pets several times. I love going on long walks so if you have an active dog, I would be delighted to take them on some adventures too. I aim to work around you and your pet's schedule as much as possible so please don't hesitate to let me know what you are looking for. However, I do work full time so please be aware I will usually not be able to be with your pet full time on weekdays. I can still do house sits for pets that do not need regular walks/toilet breaks. I am available most weekends and bank holidays and would love to keep your pet company while you enjoy a holiday! I know it can be strange for pets to be away from you so I am dedicated to keeping life as normal and relaxed for them as possible by following their normal routine in their own home. I hope to work with you to follow whatever exercise routine is best for your pup; whether they enjoy high energy exercise or prefer to just have a potter round the garden.

About: My wife and I have cared for pets since we were children. We treat our dogs like human children and take their safety very seriously. We work from home and take long walks in the surrounding countryside. Our 3 dogs (2 senior dachshunds and a 4 year old Belgian shepherd) are very friendly and happy to provide company for other well behaved dogs. We have a fully fenced garden and the option to crate dogs if necessary. Our dogs spend all day inside with us when not being walked. We have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and go the extra mile to put anxious dogs at ease. We like to arrange a meet and greet ahead of time and are happy to be flexible.

I have a secure, fenced garden which your pup is welcome to roam and play. Indoors, the house has been dog-proofed as much as possible. There are plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep your pups entertained and they are more than welcome to settle down for a cosy cuddle. For walks, I have seatbelt clips ready for most harnesses should they need to be taken in the car.

Apart from that im a practicing artist and writer working from home, so am available and happy to look after a dog most of the time. My own dog lives in my home so it is a dog-proof and safe place, my dog is a very friendly young spaniel, so if you dog needed to come to my house that would be no problem at all.

Also having a dog myself means i know some good walking spots and where its safe to let them off leads!

Briony B.Star Sitter

“We felt at ease with Briony looking after Rolo. We got photos and updates while she was there. We would 100% recommend her to anyone.”


Tamsin B.
“Couldn’t recommend Tamsin enough, she looked after our dogs Milly and Nellie like they were her own. Fed and walked as instructed, had absolutely no concerns after leaving them in Tamsin’s care for a few days. I think they missed her more than us when we got back!”


Jennifer S.
“Jennifer has looked after our dog, Tia, numerous times, and Tia has always been happy to see her. Jennifer quickly understood Tia's needs, requirements, and challenges when they first met, and I felt there was a quick bond between them. I have always felt safe leaving Tia in her hands and have no doubt recommending her to others. Her love for animals extends beyond dogs, as she has fostered cats in the past. Taking on litters of kittens to caring for cats that needed to be in isolation.”


Rhian L.
“Rhian has a natural affinity with animals. She has looked after my cat several times when we’ve been on holiday as she’s not a very social cat and hates the cattery. Rhian visits every day while we’re away to feed Cinti and Cinti will actually allow herself to be petted by Rhian. I know that I can trust her to care for Cinti and that if, heaven forbid, Cinti was ill or injured, Rhian would deal with it swiftly and appropriately and keep me updated on the situation.”
