“Hannah did a fantastic job of keeping an eye on my Teddy while I went out for the day. Teddy has bad separation anxiety when being left alone and needs constant supervision/care. Hannah provided him with all the attention he needed, to the point of when I got home he was still cuddling up to her!! We’re already booked in for another 2 sittings and I’m sure he’s going to have 2 more wonderful days with her. Thank you Hannah, you star 🌟”

“Julie was amazing, she was so good with Alfie taking him on long walks and sending us updates while we were away. Alfie takes a while to warm up to people but he was so comfortable around her. We definitely would recommend, she was great and such a lovely person 😊”

“Kayleigh is absolutely amazing, she took fantastic care of my boy and sent lots of photos and updates about their time together. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of dog care and will definitely be using Kayleigh’s services again!!”

“Booked Amber to look after my dog while I went to visit my son and new grandaughter and she was absolutely brilliant with my dog George she gave me regular updates and he is so happy that he stayed in his own home and I am so happy he was well cared for xx thank you so much Amber I will deffo be using you again xx”

“A huge thank you to Matilda for staying in our home looking after our dog and cat whilst we went abroad for 2 weeks to see family. I trusted her instantly and appreciated her frequent updates/photos. She was knowledgeable on pet care and also took care of our home as if it were hers. Our dog Teddy is a young field golden/Irish setter and she took on that challenge wonderfully! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and she is now on the top of my list for the future.”

“Rosie was amazing, easy to speak to. Can have a laugh and a smile when you meet and greet, She was so patient and kind with my Oakley, he is a large breed and it often puts people off, however Rosie was nothing like that she adored him! (Big dog but wouldn’t hurt a fly lol) Rosie took in everything I had said and was really effective. I recommend Rosie for anyone who needs support with their pets when away. She’s reliable and understanding. No better person to have with your dog. I’m so pleased and will definitely be a repeat customer. Again Thank you so much for your help and time. 💗💗💗”


About: I believe pets aren’t just animals - they’re family. That’s why everything I do is built around trust, compassion, and genuinely personalised care. I’m an animal lover with a CPD Accredited Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, offering professional dog walking, pet sitting, puppy and kitten care, and overnight house sitting tailored to suit each pet’s unique personality, age, and individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle handling they require. From helping puppies build routines and supporting toilet training, to providing slower-paced, comfort-focused care for older dogs, and calm, attentive support for pregnant dogs, I treat every stage of a pet’s life with the care and respect it deserves. No two pets are the same, which is why I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special requirements. I am fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind whether you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a holiday. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness always come first. Whether your dog needs an energy-burning walk, your senior pet needs gentle companionship, or your puppy or pregnant dog requires extra reassurance and care at home, I offer reliable, loving support you can trust. With regular updates, photos, and open communication, you’ll always know your furry family members are in safe, caring hands. Because for me, it’s not just pet care - it’s care with heart 🐶🐱💛 I work as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, offering flexible availability from Monday to Sunday, because I understand that your furry friends need love, care, and routine every day of the week - not just weekdays. Dog walks and drop-in visits are available between 7:30am and 7:30pm, allowing for both early starts and evening care to fit around your schedule. House sitting services are arranged on an individual basis and will be discussed in detail with each owner to ensure the best possible care for your home and pets. My aim is to provide reliable, consistent, and stress-free care that works for both you and your pets 🐾💛 The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is always my top priority. All services are provided in the pet owner’s home or out on walks, allowing pets to remain in familiar surroundings and continue with their normal routines. Before any service begins, I take the time to get to know each pet through an initial meeting and a detailed pet information form. This helps me understand feeding routines, exercise needs, medical requirements, behavioural traits, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual needs - from gentle handling and slower walks to increased supervision and reassurance. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I treat both the pets and the property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions provided, maintain home security, and aim to keep routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. During house sitting services, pets receive companionship, attention, and calm, reliable care while their home remains secure. For dog walking services, I assess each dog individually, use secure leads and harnesses, choose safe walking routes, and closely monitor behaviour at all times. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, health, and energy levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I am fully insured and DBS checked, and I maintain clear, open communication with owners throughout every service, including regular updates and photos. My aim is to build long-term trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, compassionate care in a safe and familiar environment.
About: AVAILABLE MON-THURS i have been in the presence of animals since i was 4 years old. i have qualifications in animal management and can handle/deal with a lot of animals with a lot of needs. i can additionally identify mental and physical illness, proscribe any medications and train animals fast and effectively (even cats 🤣) i volunteered at my local farm for 2 years for my college placement and now studying at the university of hull to become a zoologist at university. i currently have 4 cats at my home in west yorkshire. i lost my 16 year old kitty in march, so i don’t have a set schedule anymore. although, my pet care varies as me and my parents love to feed the strays that come often :) care of pets will either be in the park or at the owners home, (or my home for cat care)… we have stray cats that visit and i wouldn’t want to scare them away with a dog ❤️ hope you understand!
“Charlie has been a great help looking after our dogs which was a short notice request. Charlie was very accommodating and ensured our dogs needs were met including giving medication and walking them. I would definitely recommend Charlie and will use her again. Thank you from Perdy & Tully x”

About: Fully insured! I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, having grown up with dogs and cats. Their companionship means the world to me. Even when I haven’t had pets of my own, I’ve happily helped family and friends by walking their dogs, feeding their pets, and providing loving attention. I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting services for both dogs and cats. These roles not only allow me to provide reliable, loving care for your pets but also help me gain valuable experience as I pursue my goal of becoming a dog trainer. I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I work full-time from home, I have the flexibility to fit pet care into my day easily. This allows me to combine my love of animals with regular walks and visits, making it a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I’m adaptable with timing and can accommodate lunchtimes, evenings, or other hours that work best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in their owners homes, my top priority is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and cared for just as they would be if you were there. I pay close attention to their individual needs—whether that’s following feeding schedules, giving them plenty of attention and exercise, or simply providing a calm and loving environment. I believe every pet deserves the best care possible, and I’m committed to meeting all their needs while you’re away.
