About: I’ve always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment where your dog will be taken good care of. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles, while sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a quiet day relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for until they’re back home with you. I have a flexible schedule and WFH during the week and off work on weekends so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where they can safely enjoy time outside, along with a clean, calm home. As I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention during their stay. I’ll follow their usual routine for feeding, walks and any medication if needed, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Torrie was communicative right from the initial contact and kept me updated with daily messages about our two cats throughout the week we were away. The cats clearly thrived in her company! We came home to a clean, tidy house and, most importantly, two very happy cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


About: I have grown up with working spaniels and labradors on a farm, as well as having these dogs as working they have been loved pets. They are walked 2/3 times a day which is either at the beach in Saltburn or in the woodlands. I live in Scissett at the moment and the countryside/woodland is just perfect to have a furry companion by my side to enjoy it with. I'm the kind of person who will cross the road purposely to pet a dog! I work full time, but I work from home 2/3 days a week. I'm always available to put in leave also if this makes sitting easier, or if you are happy with the dog to come into my office with me then you can sure expect them to be coming for coffee breaks and treats with me. Pets really are part of the family so they will be treated as so in my home, whether they would want to sleep on my bed, on their bed, or anywhere else that's fine with me. They would be given endless cuddles and love while being with me.
“Delenn and Jacob looked after Wilson in my home for ten days and I’m very pleased with the service they provided. The doggie was happy and healthy and the house was left tidy. Will definitely use again.”

About: I have taken care of family friend’s dogs when they go away. I have a great love for dogs. I also work for a large company that takes pride in pet care . I work full time however the office I work in allows pets on site so there is planet of opportunity for your dog to make many more Fridays. There is a secure nature walk on site at work so no need to worry about being stuck in the office all day! I do not work over a weekend so I am also free for any weekend walking or looking after. I have an enclosed and secure garden for any dog , we have lovely dogs in our neighbourhood and surrounded by plenty of long walking areas to keep everyone busy and happy. I don’t have any pets in my home , so your dog will have all our attention

About: I am a friendly, kind animal lover, who has had dogs and cats most of her life, I have experience with birds, fish and reptiles. I’ve recently returned back to the UK after travelling through Asia and Oceania doing house and pet sits along the way. I understand how precious your little family member is and how important it is they’re looked after by someone you can trust!! I have experience in administering medicine, walking and looking after a variety breed of dogs. I have 100% 5 star reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Any questions please message me :) I prefer to book sits only 2/3 weeks in advance. I am extremely flexible as I am self employed, I like to work with the owner on their schedule. We would meet up prior so that everyone is comfortable with the arrangements. I offer to look after your pets in their own environment or if needed, to be walked. This can be something to discuss together applicable.
“Absolutely fantastic! Contacted Helena very last minute after being let down and she was amazing. My mum never gets to leave the house with her needy doggo but he didn’t even miss us one bit. My mum got to spend the day with her grandson who lives in London. Something she rarely gets to do. Brilliant sitter and all the updates put an anxious owner at massive ease. Thank you so much!”

About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — not just as a sitter, but as a true companion. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I understand their unique care requirements. You'll never wonder how your dog is doing. I provide regular photo updates, check-ins, and stay in close touch so you're always in the loop. Pet care is a meaningful and regular part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time each day for walks, feedings, litter box cleaning, and quality time with the animals I care for. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I’m fully available for each pet — whether for daily check-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Even with other responsibilities, pet care remains a top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walk schedules, and any special quirks or preferences. I respect the pet owner’s home, clean up after the pet (litter box, food area, accidents if any), and provide updates with photos or videos. My goal is for the pet to feel safe and relaxed in their own familiar space — and for you to feel confident while you're away.
“From the very start, Jodie was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Pepper was relaxed and happy when I returned, which says everything. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it put my mind at ease knowing Pepper was in such good hands. It’s clear Jodie truly understands and love cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.”

“I always feel so confident leaving Pepper to go on holiday when Laura is taking care of her. Pepper is an anxious cat but seems to settle so quickly with Laura which makes me feel at ease. Laura provides lots of updates and photos, Highly recommend.”

From playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved.

Regular walks are guaranteed. Your dogs will be loved and well looked after whilst in my care. My cat can easily be taken to my parents house while I am caring for your dog x I work from home so would be able to be with your dogs continuously. If I am caring for your dog, they would be my sole focus while they were with me so I could follow their usual routines. I have an enclosed fenced garden with grass, decking and stone. Dogs would be kept downstairs unless fully house trained in which case would have free rein.
