“Bridie came to look after my pooches at short notice. A lovely young lady with lots of animals experience and qualified in their first aid. I didn't have one concern leaving her to care for my pooches in my home. She sent me updates throughout the day and all my dogs relaxed in her company. Felt lucky to have found her and will definitely use again.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had cats since I was young, rescued 3 lovely dogs, worked at a dog daycare in London, and volunteered at dog kennels, so your pets will be in experienced and loving hands 😊 I’ve just moved back from London to be with family and my aim is to do dog walking/sitting full time so my availability is very flexible, I can be free in the week and on weekends. I currently live in a lovely home with my mum with a fenced off garden for your dog to run around, and spaces in the home for your dog to rest and relax! If you need me to come to your home that’s no problem
“Sam was fantastic, friendly and professional. He came to look after my energetic GWP with less than a days notice. Rumble took an immediate liking to Sam..helped by cuddles, treats and a long muddy walk with his squeaky ball. What more could one ask for?! I’ve already booked Sam again because he went to a lot of trouble to keep my Rumble occupied and happy. 😊”

About: I offer calm, reliable dog care with clear communication and a steady routine. Whether it’s house sitting, boarding, or day care, I’ll always be honest before booking about my availability and how long your dog may be left. I’m best suited to dogs who enjoy a calm environment, gentle attention, and someone who takes their routine seriously. I’m also comfortable caring for nervous dogs, older dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I keep owners updated, follow instructions carefully, and aim to help each dog feel safe, settled, and looked after while you’re away. I have a flexible routine and I’m always clear before booking about my availability, including how long your dog may be left. I keep care calm, steady, and built around your dog’s usual routine, with regular walks, feeding, attention, and quiet settling time. I care for dogs in a calm, safe, and structured way, whether in your home or mine. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure your dog has a relaxed, predictable environment. I’m patient with nervous dogs and careful around routines, boundaries, and comfort needs.
“Josie is just lovely. She came to see us pre-booking to meet Polly & Belle and we immediately felt re-assured we were leaving the girls with not only someone who would care for them but also genuinely loved dogs. She kept us updated whilst we were away and we came home to two very sleepy (hot weather) but happy pooches. A huge bonus was the care and consideration given to our home. It was pristine and she had even washed the bedding! No hesitation in recommending Josie. We will certainly be using her again.”

“First sit for Florence with Megan. Pooch so excited to see her again after our Meet and Greet. Megan was very calm and managed Florence beautifully. Lovely photos and videos to show how settled Florence was while we were out. ☺️”

“Annabel helped us with our cat and very timid dog. A couple of nights pet sitting, which we have never done before. Annabel’s patience paid off and slowly gained the trust of our dog, he is genuinely a very complex character, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the experience. We will definitely carry on and book again soon...”

About: Personalized Care: I would pay close attention to each pet's unique needs, routines, and preferences, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Experience with Puppies: I'm well-versed in puppy care, including basic training and establishing good habits from the start. I could assist with potty training, crate training, and socialization, ensuring your puppy grows up well-behaved and happy. Senior Pet Care: I have experience working with senior pets and would be extra gentle, patient, and mindful of their specific needs. Whether it's administering medication, providing mobility assistance, or just offering lots of extra TLC, I would ensure they remain comfortable and safe. Exercise & Mental Stimulation: I understand how important it is to keep pets engaged and active, especially for dogs. I’d provide stimulating walks, playtime, and even teach new tricks to keep them sharp. Daily Updates: I know how much peace of mind it gives pet owners to get regular updates. I’d send you pictures, videos, and messages about how your pet is doing, so you never have to worry. These qualities, combined with a true love for animals, would make me a sitter you'd trust! I currently work alternating shift patterns in the week, 6 am-2 pm/2 pm-10 pm. I am free around this pattern and free on the weekend too I have one blind Jack Russel x chiuaua. We have a fully secured fenced garden and a large lawn area for him to play in.
“Tamsin looked after my needy pooches overnight whilst we were in London. I came back to happy sleepy dogs. I will book her again. She is very good with my nervous rescues.”

“Imogen stayed at our place during our weekend get away and looked after our two girl staffies. She was just excellent from start to finish. She regularly sent us updates while we were away which made us feel at ease. She was very good with our girls and on top of that kept our home very tidy. Thank you Imogen.”


About: We live in a beautiful rural area with meadow and forest walks on our doorstep. Having just lost our 2 beautiful pooches at the age of 14 we have an empty home that needs the patter of doggy footsteps! Recently we have become grandPAWents to a beautiful blue staff called Bruno. Our son’s dog, who has just had a week with us whilst he was on holiday. He bought us so much joy and laughter, which has led us to join Rover. My husband works from home. His office backs on to our garden so pooches can have free rein whilst he is working. We are at home most weekends and enjoy walking/hiking when weather permits. We live in a rural area just 10 mins from Shrewsbury centre, so close to amenities and vets if needed. Forest and meadow walks are on our doorstep. We have a large country lodge with plenty of room for your pet to explore inside. Wooden floors and machine washable rugs in case of any ‘accidents’. We have a dog friendly local walk where everyone brings their pooches to play together just a 10 min car ride away if your pet likes to be sociable. We currently have no dogs of our own.., too soon following the loss of our cockerpoo dogs Monty in December and Archie in Feb. Both from the same litter aged 14. They had a wonderful life here. Previously we have had golden retrievers and Labrador’s. I have a fenced garden and we are happy to crate your pet or not crate.. however you have it set up in your home. We can provide a loving, safe, and warm environment for your pet giving you peace of mind whilst you are away
“Stephanie was fabulous with Camarin and Storm. She showed incredible patience with a dog who is alot when excited about new people 😄 It was amazing to go away and be confident that I did not need to worry about the pets at home. I would book Stephanie again in a heartbeat and I am sure Camarin would be thrilled 😄”

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.
“Can’t recommend Eve enough. She made us feel very reassured when we had our meet and greet, and our Cavapoo took to her instantly. She kept in touch with us throughout our time away and kept us updated on how Poppy was. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Eve to look after Poppy in the future and highly recommend her. Thanks Eve! 😊”

“Katy was amazing with my puppies, who aren't the easiest. She looked after both my dogs and the most important thing was that the dogs were happy and comfortable while I was away. Excellent!!!”

“From the moment I met Marie at the pre-sit meeting I knew she would be the perfect sitter for our dog Misty. I really could not have been happier with the house sit - Misty had a fantastic time as we could see from the updates and was extremely well looked after. Marie is clearly very experienced with dogs, and was lovely to deal with, and I felt absolutely confident that the house and Misty were in the safest of hands.”

“Monty is excellent and very caring he has looked after louie and spolit him. He is very tidy and loving to louie and a great trustworthy. He also is great and bonded with louie and also puts your mind at rest.”

Tamsin was a godsend for us over the weekend of a wedding. Our dog has special needs and had had unexpected surgery just before the booking as well. Tamsin was completely unphased by this and was delightful, punctual, professional and considerate throughout. No hesitation to book her for our dog again.

Lois looked after my puppy Phoebe for the day. I’m really grateful for her help and Phoebe had a great day. Lois clearly loves dogs and was great with Phoebe. Got updates and photos during the day so I knew all was going well. Thank you Lois, much appreciated and will definitely be in touch when I need a dog sitter again 😊

We couldn't recommend Becca highly enough. She helped us out with house sitting this weekend for our 12 week old puppy, and he was in great hands. Because was friendly, polite and responsive when we first contacted her, and was happy to have a call to get all the initial details. She confirmed the booking quickly, and was great on the day. She arrived and our puppy took to her instantly. She obviously has great experience with animals, especially dogs, as she could handle him and his puppy stage perfectly. She spent time with us to learn about the routine, house, going out etc., and followed all these throughout they day. She gave us lots of updates and pictures, and seems like they had a great day together. It made our day away much more comfortable knowing he was being well looked after. He was absolutely shattered when we got home, and slept all night. Would definitely recommend Becca to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we're already booking her in for our next away day.

Sarah was a wonderful house-sitter. She looked after our little cocker spaniel and our bengal cat who were both very content during her stay. She provided plenty of updates and Margot our dog got lots of wonderful walks. We were very happy we booked Sarah to stay! Thank you!
