Lovely lady, looked after my cat for 5 days, kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout and was kind enough to drop in twice a day to let her out of the house, and back in later on. House was kept tidy and I was very happy with her work. Would definitely recommend and use her services again.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I specialise in personalised care for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Dogs have been an integral part of my life since and meeting new dogs brings me great joy in bonding and looking after them. Spending quality time is very important to me. Any dog I look after becomes part of my daily life with walks, trips out and even walks to the pub for a Sunday lunch. 
I love nature and going for long walks. I make sure that every dog receives a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest, while prioritising their safety and comfort. My approach is always reward-based and force-free, creating a stress-free, positive experience for you and your pet. Whatever your pet needs, I will endeavour to meet those needs and I understand every pet has their own personality, just like us humans! I have my own loving 2 year old spaniels, so if they come and spend time at my house they will have an instant buddy. I always like to meet your pet before taking on any bookings so we can both feel at ease that our time together will be a good fit. I’m available for dog sitting, walking, and overnights during the early mornings (before 7 a.m.) and evenings on weekdays (after 5 p.m.) and all day on weekends. I also offer overnight stays any night of the week, so your pet will have company and care even while you’re away. If you need someone for evenings or weekend care, I’m flexible and ready to help! I live in a house, with a fenced garden. In my house, there are lots of places for your dog to take lots of naps. I have a crate at home if that is your dog-safe place. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take great care to ensure a secure, comfortable environment, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet and carefully follow any specific instructions you provide. I believe in building trust with you and your dog, so you can feel confident that they are in good hands. I’m committed to open communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you know your furry friend is safe and happy.

About: I am a dedicated animal lover who understands the responsibility and true meaning of care with owning a pet! 
Growing up I had three dogs, multiple cats- one of which I still have now, guinea pigs, snakes, fish and a budgie called Bruce.
 My passion for animals led me to successfully achieve an animal management level 3 diploma in 2019. After working in retail for a few years, I soon found my feet 6 years ago at a local doggy daycare and boarding! I am now the general manager there and I absolutely love every aspect of it! 
I have great knowledge targeting dog and cat behaviours, needs and body languages. I'm used to feeding, administering medication, basic grooming such as teeth cleans, baths, brushing and nails. I am also trained in basic obedience training. I am very confident and widely experienced in dog walking- including up to 4 dogs at once.
Alongside my career I have also house/ pet sit friends and family cats and dogs over the years and have found great joy in not only helping but providing a high level of care and love towards their fur babies. I work full time as a manager at a dog daycare/ boarding. I do 9-5 Mon- Fri and more than happy to house/ pet sit during the week and weekend but I am unable to check in during the day, however I am able to work half days if needed. I am used to following any instructions you give. Even happy to help train dogs, walk them, create enrichment activities for them. I ensure fresh water is down 24/7 and that they are fed- even if food needs defrosting. I’m happy to clean litter trays if needed, administer medication, put bins out, poo pick, tidy up after myself after I leave, anything you needed done. Working the job I do I am hot on safety- closing doors, door barging, choking, overheating etc

About: Growing up I was often surrounded by animals; hamsters, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, and even a gecko. With my dad being a vet, I’d occasionally find myself waiting in his staff room after school with the staff dogs, or helping with those being left for monitoring overnight. This affinity for animals has followed me well into adulthood, now working as a pet and wildlife photographer! Though my puppy experience is limited to my own and a few friends, adult and senior dogs are where my skills lie. Sadly a year ago I had to say goodbye to my 17 year-old border terrier, who was my whole world for a long time. Working as a photographer, my schedule is pretty flexible, with time most days for drop-ins/walks and with a few days notice I can cater to overnight stays. While I am flexible with work, I can have jobs come up at short notice which generally isn’t an issue as long as the dogs in my care are okay with being alone for a few hours (typically 2, but occasionally up to 3) After an initial consultation, I tailor my service to what is required for the dogs in questions. I only offer visits and home-stays; ensuring your dogs are at ease in their own environment

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been surrounded by dogs growing up. Caring for them comes naturally to me—whether it’s going for long walks, giving them plenty of attention and affection, or keeping up with their feeding and routines. I regularly look after the dogs of family and friends, from playful pups to older dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident handling different breeds and temperaments, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. You can count on me to provide safe, loving care and keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m always nearby to make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for. My routine allows me to easily adapt to your dog’s needs and schedule, whether they’re energetic and need lots of activity or prefer a more relaxed pace. I have an open-plan home with plenty of space for dogs to roam and play comfortably indoors. The layout is safe and pet-friendly, making it easy for your dog to feel at home. I also have a secure, fenced garden where they can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor play in a safe environment. Plus, I’m located near several lovely local parks, perfect for daily walks and exploring new scents and sights.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic large breeds to affectionate small ones, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each dog. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I've had the pleasure of raising and nurturing dogs of all breeds, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My passion for animals, combined with my commitment to providing safe and enriching environments, makes me a reliable and caring companion for your furry friend. I currently own a 10-month-old husky/shepherd mix named Loki, and he is such an adorable boy with the sweetest temperament. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to be present for your dog throughout the day. Even on the occasional days when I need to go into the office, there is always a family member at home, ensuring that your dog will never be left alone and will always have companionship and care. I have a 10ft fenced backyard with a nature reserve close by to take your pup on engaging walks in nature. I also have my own pup Loki who loves playing with other dogs of all sizes and is extremely welcoming to new dogs and people within the household. Loki is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night if you need your dog to be crated if needed.

About: I am very confident around dogs and other animals of most sizes. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I grew up with dogs in my family home (Irish Wolfhounds), and have regularly been around friends’ dogs and pets. On an ad-hoc basis I am relied upon for drop-in visits for a friend’s dog while they are out for the day. I also occasionally look after my mum’s dog, which either requires me to stay overnight at her house (in Somerset), or Otto comes and stays with me. Care includes, feeding, administering medication, and walks. I am able to provide this service to new and existing clients, I’ll just need access, and any care instructions provided ahead of time. I am happy to provide short walks within the local area, and drop-in visits for toilet breaks and feeding. I have recently been made redundant from my at-home marketing role, and will be starting university in the autumn. I am a mum of two young boys so I am well used to chaos. I love the outdoors and being outside. I have recently been made redundant from my remote marketing position. I am a mum of two young boys, so during term-time I am committed to the school run in the morning and afternoon. Around this I am pretty flexible. During the holidays I will still be flexible but do note that short notice bookings might be declined based on childcare cover. In the autumn I am due to start university and I will update my availability in late September. For drop-in visits, I will access your home using the key left for me unless other instructions are provided. I will let your dog out for a toilet break, check they are okay, and refill water bowls as necessary. I am happy to stay a little bit longer to make a fuss of your dog before I leave. I am happy also to leave your dog with food if required. For walking, I can collect your dog and walk locally. Until I build trust with your dog, I will insist on walking your dog on a lead. I will drop your dog back home afterwards, and if you are not home, I will check their water bowl before I leave.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have over 10 years’ experience caring for them. I had a Chihuahua for 11 years and currently have a 3-year-old Dachshund, so I’m very familiar with different breeds, personalities and needs. I’ve not only owned dogs myself but have also regularly cared for and looked after family and friends dogs including Jack Russells, Cavapoos, Saffordshire Bull Terrier and Labradors. I’m confident with walking, feeding and general care, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, patient and will treat your dog like my own. I genuinely love walking dogs and will tailor each walk to what suits them best, whether they’re energetic or prefer a slower pace. I work full-time during the week, so I’m mainly available for evening walks, weekends, and dog sitting. I’m flexible in the evenings and can also help with weekend daytime walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule where possible and can also help with occasional or last-minute bookings. I always prioritise your dog’s safety, comfort and routine. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including feeding, walking routines and any special requirements. I’ll keep you updated with messages or photos so you have peace of mind. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and will make sure your dog feels safe, secure and well cared for at all times.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets - a cat and a Saint Bernard who shaped some of my happiest childhood memories. Later, I had my own beloved Pomeranian, who may not have lived a long life, but lived a very loved one. Because of these experiences, caring for pets comes naturally to me and from the heart. Friends regularly trust me to care for and sit their pets, knowing how much love, patience, and attention I give. I truly believe dogs are our best friends and often the best version of humans - loyal, kind, and full of joy. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, routines, and emotional needs, whether that means playful energy, calm companionship or extra reassurance. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my time around walks, feeding, and check-ins and make sure pets get consistent care and attention. I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. I keep the space clean and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I pay attention to how they behave and adjust care if needed, whether that means more activity or more quiet time. When I’m caring for a pet, my goal is simply that they are safe, calm, and looked after properly.

Eton Wick, SL4

About: As a child our family always had a dog and I always enjoyed walking them as well as asking neighbours if I could walk their. When I started my own family it was incomplete without a dog, so I got a labrador who lived until 17. After the death of my dog Bruce, I couldn't bring myself to buy another dog of my own so I started dog sitting for friends and family. Now in a full circle my girls both have dogs that I regularly look after and walk (poodle and dachshund) I enjoy the exercise and the company and very aware of our surroundings. I am not currently working semi retired and would fit my life in around the pet care. I am lucky enough to live in Eton wick and I'm close to miles of fields and the river all within 1 minute walk . To the left windsor and the left maidenhead all along the river . Ideal for man and dog . I have a shared garden but fenced in but open at the front so not ideal for the dog to to be off the lead unless I can trust the dog. I usually walk the dog across the fields and river opposite.

About: I have no children but I do have a kitten. I helped bring up my sister’s puppy-turned-dog during Covid, I regularly look after my sister’s dog for days and hours. I take her for walks, feed her, play with her and drop her off. I also sometimes look after my best friend’s cat when she is at work or on holiday. I am flexible with weekends, and week days I work hybrid so I am home most of the week - aside from Tuesday and Thursday, which are my office days. ☺️ I keep door closed and always use lead when outside. The area is usually gated outside, and I have space for a crate if needed. I have a few green areas next to me. I live basically in town, with non-main road access in too for particularly vulnerable puppies.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
