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.
“Thank you so much for looking after Oliver! He’s had a lovely time :) Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. From meeting Oliver for the first time and playing his favourite game with him to build rapport to the last Rover Card update, she has provided a quality service and Oliver has been so well looked after. He’s had lots of play, treats and even a brush, it feels like he’s had a little mini break at home :) Will definitely be booking with Sarah again. Thank you!!”
“Fernanda was brilliant with our cat, making sure he was fed and was given his medications before also ensuring he was well looked after and given plenty of fuss and attention - he seemed very happy when we came home and the pictures and video updates we were sent daily gave us peace of mind. Would definitely recommend Fernanda and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again in future.”
“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!”
About: I have taken many of my friends dogs for walks in the park. Sometimes have had the dog to stay if they have gone away for the weekend. Ideally looking to look after small dogs rather than big ones. I am very active as I play many sports so love walking and dog walking is good fun for me. I work full time from home Monday-Friday. I am available weekday evenings, weekends and to help if the owners goes away on holiday too. I am moving to Shrewsbury on the 9th May and my new house has a little closed fence garden. Looking forward to exploring the nearby area and go for park & river walks.
“Phillipa did a fabulous job of looking after our 2 cats. She is instantly likeable and it was obvious our cats thought so too. The daily WhatsApp pictures and videos gave us great piece of mind. We could not recommend her highly enough and we will definitely use her again.”
“We were really pleased to have Gemma looking after Teddy and Betty for their evening feed and Teddy's insulin jab. They are both nervous cats, Teddy in particular but Gemma put them both at ease. Gemma was friendly, professional and gave us updates on the evening. We will definitely book with her again ”
“Oliver had a lovely time being cared for by Jess!! She took the time to meet him beforehand and he immediately took to her which was reassuring, and that was before any treats had even come out!! I received lovely updates and heard that there was lots of playtime and some treats which he loved. I came home to a very happy cat, will definitely rebook!! Thank you, Jess :)”
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover as long as I can remember, having owned my own dog since age 7 and cat since age 16 I have grown to learn more and more every day. I have dog walked and sat for many friends, family and neighbours before as well as having completed a year of work experience at a veterinary practice where I came in contact with every breed, size, shape and temperament of both dogs and cats! This valuable experience has helped me develop my knowledge in pet care and stimulation. Looking after my dog in his last senior years also taught me what senior dogs need, as well as good medication taking techniques. I have done many dog training classes before in a rang of areas including obedience and agility. My passion lies with animals and always will, I thrive in giving pets what they deserve! I’m currently working 8-5pm Mon - Thurs and 8-1pm on a Friday. This allows me to be free on weekends, Friday afternoons as well as both early mornings and late evenings in the week. I drive and own my own car meaning transport is not an issue. I have a large semi-enclosed garden and field with many areas for your dogs to explore and run! I myself am an avid hiker, meaning I know many nice areas for your dogs to go as well as loving to take them on the long, stimulating walks they deserve.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I bring to every dog I look after. I’ve been a dog sister (my mum's dog) for over 10 years, so I understand dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always treat each dog as if they were my own. I’m fit, healthy, and active, and I walk every day, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time tailored to their energy level. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including seniors who need extra patience and gentler care. I’m naturally calm, affectionate, and loving (dog kisses are always welcome!), and I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s long walks, companionship, or simply making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. I already walk daily, so fitting pet walks into my schedule is easy and consistent. Dog boarding is available on weekends only, which allows me to give dogs my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of companionship without weekday time constraints. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives dependable, high-quality care, love, and attention during the times I commit to. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I always take time to understand a dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, training cues, and any special requirements so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They receive plenty of love, supervision, regular walks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I keep routines consistent and make sure dogs have their own space to relax while also enjoying lots of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I focus on maintaining your dog’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any basic care needed. I’m reliable, tidy, and trustworthy, and I always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have adored and been around dogs all my life , both mine own and other dogs I've been trusted to look after. I'm experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to elderly dogs needing special care, . I have attended dog training and behaviour sessions in order to better understand individual and varieties of dog personalities and there needs. I currently work part time in a shop, but its only one day a week 12-4ish so still plenty of time or visits and walks. 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. However i would be inclined to want to look after a dog in its own home to avoid them becoming anxious or overwhelming both dogs. Also having a dog myself means i know some good walking spots and where its safe to let them off leads!
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.
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.
“Everything went very well indeed with Pippa looking after Maisie whilst I was away. Pippa administered her daily medicine perfectly, and Maisie was happy and relaxed on my return. Thank you again. ”

Phillipa has been fantastic with our old chap. We received pictures of him every day so all the feels for her. We felt confident that he was in safe hands. This was a great relief to us as and we would highly recommend her as a friend to look after your family pets. Phillipa made sure he had his meds and special diet and dealt with everything we needed for him. I was very confident as soon as she met our cat as it was obvious they were going to get on. A big thank you from us all.
Gemma was absolutely wonderful looking after our cats. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which was so reassuring while we were away. One of our cats is quite nervous and usually very unsure with new people, so we were a bit worried about how she’d cope. But Gemma was so gentle and patient with her, and we came home to a calm and happy Luna. Both cats were content and relaxed upon our return, not to mention our home being kept spotless. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Gemma again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
Amy connected with Bob really well. We were very relieved as, although timid, he can be fiesty and prone to nips and claws! She sent a message and videos after every visit which was great and very reassuring. He really liked Amy and even allowed head rubs! She really is a cat whisperer. Bob is an older cat now and Amy did not mind clearing up after him with his runny poos! A bonus. We will definitely invite Amy to look after Bob again and He is in total agreement as he loved all the treats and fuss she gave him! 😺😻😹
