“Really understand my dog and look after him. Thanks so much”

“Maisie took fantastic care of our cat. Her communication was excellent—she sent detailed updates and photos every day, which really put our minds at ease. Maisie was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and kind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would definitely recommend Maisie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands that pets aren’t just animals—they’re cherished family members. Whether you need help while you’re at work or away on a trip, I am here to provide your best friend with the same love, attention, and security they receive at home. My journey with animals has taken me across the globe. Having lived and pet-sat in both Australia and the UK, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. From high-energy pups to gentle seniors, I am comfortable and confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes. My background in professional babysitting has also helped me develop a high level of patience, responsibility, and an intuitive approach to care. I know how to stick to routines, manage dietary needs, and—most importantly—provide plenty of companionship and play. I currently share my home with a beautiful, energetic Dalmatian, so I am very well-versed in the needs of active breeds. Whether your pet is a tiny companion or a giant gentle soul, I have the experience to keep them safe, happy, and exercised. I pride myself on being communicative and detail-oriented. You can relax knowing your home and your pet are in dedicated, trustworthy hands. I would love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the care and companionship they deserve. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Because I work as a supply teacher, I am currently heading into a seven-week summer break, which means my schedule is entirely open. I am able to commit fully to your dog’s care, providing dedicated attention day and night. Aside from the occasional, short errand—typically just a couple of hours at most—I will be right there with your pup. Whether your companion needs an extra-long morning walk, active play throughout the day, or just some quiet companionship on the sofa in the evening, I am physically and mentally present to provide it. During our outings, I practice proactive awareness, keeping a firm grip on the leash and maintaining a safe distance from other dogs or traffic to prevent any unexpected incidents. My goal is to be a calm, observant, and highly attentive presence, constantly monitoring your dog’s body language and comfort levels to ensure that your home remains a peaceful, stress-free, and safe sanctuary while you are away. When caring for your pet in your own home, my top priority is maintaining a secure and familiar environment where they feel completely at ease. I begin by conducting a thorough "safety sweep" to ensure all entry points are secure and any potential hazards—such as stray cords, household plants, or cleaning supplies—are safely tucked away. I strictly adhere to your established house rules and routine, ensuring that feeding times, walk schedules, and any medication requirements are handled with consistency. During outings, I practice proactive awareness, keeping a firm grip on the leash and maintaining a safe distance from other dogs or traffic to prevent any unexpected incidents. My goal is to be a calm, observant presence, keeping a close eye on your dog’s body language and comfort levels so that your home remains a peaceful, stress-free sanctuary while you are away.

About: With 14 years experience in the pet care industry and 4 years experience running my own pet care business your furry friends will be in the best hands. First aid trained, fully insured, city and guilds qualified in dog grooming and pet nutrition. I have my own pet care business so i run group walks every weekday morning 9-1pm. With my afternoons free for grooming, visits and solo walks. Keeping a space safe for pets is my top most priority. I always stay vigilante with possible dangers in the home or out on walks that may cause a potential danger to your pet by undertaking various risk assessments to make sure all pets are in a safe and protected environment.

“We were on holiday & so pleased I booked Charley to look after our Skyla in the caravan whilst we went out to the clubhouse. Charley took Skyla out for a walk & had cuddles on the sofa. Skyla loved her new friend and was very happy. We had photos & an update. Thank you so much, we will definitely use again if on holiday here. Highly recommended 🐶”

About: I have had many different pets and animals at different stages of my life, so I have a lot of experience looking after different animals, especially dogs. I will be delighted to look after your furry friend overnight, for the day, or just for a walk. Message me for any questions or inquiries you have, and I will do my very best to accommodate any requirements you have to keep your pet happy! I currently work from home, so I will have time to play with them, take them for short walks and attend to their needs. Available Monday to Friday and sometimes during the weekends. I live in the north of Hull, close to Cottingham. Right outside our front door, we have a huge field where you're furry can explore! We also have a medium-sized garden where your pet can have toilet breaks and do its business!

About: I am an experienced one woman team offering a reliable and fun retreat filled with lots of adventures and cuddles for your pets while you’re away! 🤍 I offer a dedicated stay at your own home where the animals feel most comfortable, meaning they have my full attention for the duration of my stay and you can be reassured they are safe and well looked after. Having grown up with dogs throughout my life, I understand the importance of maintaining this routine and familiarity, as well as the trust needed to leave your pet(s) in someone else’s care! DBS checked, experienced and comfortable with many different breeds, animals and requirements :) I am a student with plenty of free time to be filled with taking care of your pets! I am available overnight and Monday-Sunday so I can definitely work around your schedule :) I only ever care for one household at a time, so please be rest assured your dog(s) receive the utmost attention and care and are treated as my own during their stay with me :) The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every dog are my top priorities. When caring for dogs in their own home, I will of course follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication (if required), and any specific care needs. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I always keep doors and gates secure and only let dogs off lead if the owner has confirmed it's safe and part of their usual routine. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and tidy and ensuring everything is left as I found it. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dog is happy and well cared for throughout my stay 🐾

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!

About: With our 1-year-old Sprocker Spaniel, we understand the importance of both mental and physical stimulation to keep dogs happy and healthy. We’ve cared for a variety of breeds, from big to small and from high-energy to more relaxed pups, tailoring our care to suit each dog’s needs. 🐾 Our daily routine is active and full of fun! We take Arlo on morning and evening walks, adding up to around 3 hours of exercise each day.

About: I have experience in pet sitting in China, having spent time with six dogs at once. I also have experience taking care of cats in the UK. I enjoy playing and spending time with both cats and dogs. I am currently a student. I have a lot of free time and I have an online part-time job that I do at home. I live in a three-story house and have a separate enclosed yard. There is a platform where pets can play and several trees in the yard.

“Great job and great comms throughout. Highly Recommended”

“This was my first time using a cat sitter and whilst I was initially nervous, Abbie made me feel much more relaxed and I looked forward to her updates with photos and videos each day. My cat became very comfortable with her quickly and received great care. Would definitely book her again in the future x”

About: I’m experienced in dog care and have always loved being around animals, especially dogs. Unfortunately, due to the demands of being full-time teachers, we’re not currently able to have one of our own. That’s why dog sitting gives us the best of both worlds — we get to enjoy the companionship, exercise, and joy of dog walking without compromising on the commitment a dog deserves. We love being outdoors and exploring new walks, so spending time with dogs fits perfectly into our lifestyle. We are happy to have dogs to stay during the week if they are used to being left alone for a fee hours in a large airy kitchen. We’re always free to dog sit during evenings, school holidays and most weekends. We’d love to spend time with your pups! We’re free to play, walk, and cuddle with them every Monday after 2pm, most weekends, and throughout the school holidays. Whether it’s a muddy adventure, a game of fetch, or just some belly rubs on the sofa, we’re ready to give your dog plenty of attention and fun while you’re away or busy. We are happy to have dogs during the week if they are comfortable being left on their own for 4 hours max - Our working hours are: Mon - Wed 8-4 (we have a dog walker to come in midway through the day) Thu - Fri we are back by lunchtime We have a secure, dog-friendly household with a fully fenced garden that’s perfect for your pup to run around and play safely. Whether your dog loves to chase a ball, lounge in the sun, or just explore, our garden is a great space for them to enjoy. We’re happy to accommodate any specific routines or requests you have—just let us know, and we’ll make sure your dog feels right at home.

About: I really miss dogs and would love to share a new friendship with local doggies 🐶 I love being outside and walking and would love to have an excuse to be out and about, and dog walking is the perfect reason. I work in healthcare, but regular hours and so I'm free on evenings and weekends 😊 I'm always going for walks anyways! I can't have my own pet due to being out of the house too long at any one time, so would love to have quality time with local dogs instead!! I value dog and owner safety first and foremost, but also want dogs to have a fun and enjoyable time. I am always aware of my surroundings and am aware of how to keep dogs safe etc.

“Both cats seem very happy with the care they have had. I appreciated the daily messages and pictures and Kelsey left everything very clean and organised. Very pleased”

Jennie D.

About: I have taken care of friends and families, neighbours pets for them whilst they are away, or at work. I have a dog of my own and had him since being a puppy and would love to help others out with looking after their pet whilst they are away or at work and unable to. I’m currently studying so I have a lot of free time as well for something I enjoy doing. I am free most days and can also do last minute requests. I have a fenced garden at my house and it’s a rather big open plan home so they would have plenty of space to play and roam around. I am able to adapt and change things if necessary to make you feel more comfortable and confident in looking after your fur baby

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a genuine understanding of their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I've owned a Labrador Retriever and currently have a Working Cocker Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with both relaxed family dogs and more energetic breeds that require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I've also had cats throughout my life, giving me a good understanding of feline behaviour and the importance of providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for neighbours, friends, and family, including home visits, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while owners have been away. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication orally(if required), maintaining exercise routines, or simply providing plenty of love, attention and reassurance; I tailor my care to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind and carry first aid kit either on me or in the car. I have a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including weekends. This allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care, while working around their usual routines. Your pet's wellbeing is always my top priority. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (where needed), and any special requirements to help them feel comfortable and settled. During warmer weather, I also take extra precautions to keep dogs safe. If temperatures exceed 22°C, I won't take dogs out for walks, as heat can be dangerous. Instead, I'll provide indoor enrichment, play, and plenty of attention, along with access to fresh water and regular comfort breaks in a safe, shaded area where appropriate. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home where pets can relax and feel part of the family while you're away. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy regular toilet breaks. Inside, they'll have plenty of companionship, attention, and a comfortable environment to settle into. I also have a 5-month-old female Working Cocker Spaniel who is friendly, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a gentle nature and is also comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, boundaries, feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. My aim is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I'd want for my own pet, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.
