About: I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs and smaller furry friends my whole life. I love animals and I work remotely so I am able to adapt and be present for your dog whatever that may look like! I work part time for my church remotely so I am able to be present for your dog while you are away. I am also in my third year studying law (also remotely). I have cared for many animals in different environments with varying behaviours. I am easily adaptable to how you prefer your animal to be cared for and their routine so they are comfortable while you are away!
“Bradley is great. You can tell he has a genuine love for dogs and I couldn’t be happier and more reassured leaving our Lab, Olga, with Bradley. I arrived home to a very happy and relaxed doggie. I’d highly recommend Bradley and will definitely book him again. Thank you Bradley!”
“Andrew was the first sitter we’ve ever used, and made the experience easy and reassuring. He looked after our little diva, Bluebell the cat, and she must have felt relaxed and comfortable as she chilled out on the sofa with him all evening 😎 we received lots of pics our little fluffy demon, which was brill. He turned up when he said he would, and respected our wishes about not bringing meat or dairy into the house, which I really appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
“Jayne and Bryan are lovely people and I’d 100% recommend them to look after your pets. They stayed at our house with my dog Rupert for 9 days, Rupert had 5 star care, lots of lovely walks, fuss treats and ball play - all his favourite things. Rupert is very dog reactive which is a big worry for me when going away. Jayne listened very carefully to instructions to keep him and other dogs safe when out and about and this made me very much as ease. Jayne provided daily pupdates which lots of photo which was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves so much. The house was very well looked after and left spotless when I returned, even kept all my plants alive in the scorching heat!! I will definitely be booking Jayne and Bryan again for future trips. Thank you!!!”
About: I have looked after pets informally for the last year for friends and neighbours. I have a level 3 diploma in animal management and I'm happy to look after other animals as well as dogs and cats. I am currently looking after a puppy for a few hours each week whilst their owner is at work. I have 2 medium sized dogs of my own and I have had dogs since I was a small child. One of these now has arthritis so I am also used to dealing with older dogs. I help out in a local pet shop so I am familiar with all different types of pet food. I would love the opportunity to look after your pets and give them pawsitive care. I am fully insured and have references available if you would like them. I am looking to start to build up a client base as I would love to do this type of work full-time. I have recently finished college so I'm available most of time, except when I have prior commitments. I am trustworthy and will be able to attend to your pets needs in their own home. I will be able to offer overnight stays, or visits to let your pets out or take them on a walk. I promise to give them the highest degree of care that I can, so that your furry friends are looked after while you are away.
“Ella did such a good job with the pets. The dogs were very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. The updates and photos were great. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking again”
About: I am a pet owner myself and currently have 2 French bulldogs boys I understand the stress around our pets and making sure we have the best care for them when we are not there and also having less stress that someone is loving and caring for them whilst you are away which I can give every animal and make sure to make you aware also for peace of mind that your babies are being cared for in the best way. The experience I have is owning a pet myself and from someone who always wanted a dog and was not able when living at home since moving out I have always owned a dog have owned up to 3 at a time and loved and cared for them as if they are my children from an owner that hadn't got children but my animals are my babies. Always rest assured you me fur babies will be loved and cared for on there walks with me or pop ins 💙 I mainly work from home so with my job I can work around this and my job and house sitting I can work this around my own dogs with partners support I have 2 dogs of my own that are in a set routine feeding and toilet breaks from 8 weeks old and owned a dog for 15 + years with my partner
“Absolutely fabulous. Ionela looked after our 3 dogs with great care and compassion. We have a rescue dog who is very wary of humans, but was so very relaxed with Ionela. She even looked after our hamster. Would highly recommend.”
“Thank you so much for looking after the boys whilst I attended my brothers wedding . The dogs were so happy when they met you and so I was assured there wouldn’t be a problem. It was so lovely to get photos of the boys to put my mind at rest and I would definitely approach you again if I need help in the future .”
About: I’m a part time dog trainer and have worked in rescues so I’ve seen the calmest to the most aggressive of dogs, your dog will be in safe hands with me as a walker/sitter due to the variety of temperaments I’ve cared for. As a part time dog trainer, I do a session in the morning with my clients and late afternoon, so I am free all day to give your pooch a nice long walk to stretch their legs and play with some toys! I cannot provide care in my home. When in the owners home, I provide daily updates via texts and videos of how your dog is doing, almost like a holiday dairy for them to fill you in on their activities from today.
About: My love for dogs is unconditional! I have a dog myself and knowing your furry babies are with someone with such care is most important! Your furry babies would become best friends with my cavapoo boy also! :)) I am more then happy to provide a meet and greet before confirmation:) ' please note I have a full time job aside boarding' I have weekends pretty much free! And Weekday evenings. Weather your going to work or a weekend away! Let me help your furry babies have fun whiles you do to! I have a very secure garden and sharp eyes! As being a dog dad myself I understand the importance of the ultimate care for your furry babies
About: Hello👋 I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, especially cats and dogs. Spending time with them genuinely makes my day brighter—whether that’s going for long walks, a jog in the park, or just enjoying a quiet evening curled up together. I believe animals deserve attention, patience, and kindness. I work from home, which means I’m very flexible and can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. My schedule allows me to step away from my desk whenever your pet needs attention—whether that’s a morning walk to start the day, a midday stroll to burn off some energy, or an afternoon playtime in the yard or living room. Because I’m home all day, your pet wouldn’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can adapt to their routine and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy taking breaks to bond, play, and care for animals—it keeps both me and them happy, active, and relaxed When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by keeping a calm, welcoming environment and following their usual routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and quiet cuddle time, depending on what they enjoy.
About: With 6 years of experience caring for my own Greyhound and regularly looking after my neighbor’s dog, I provide loving, reliable care you can count on. I work in the office two days a week and from home the other three, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays when I’m working from home or after work hours. At my home, your pup will enjoy a secure, fenced garden and the company of my friendly resident dog. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing together. I follow your care instructions closely to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free.
About: Although I don't own a dog myself, I’ve had the opportunity to dog-sit for several friends and family members over the years. These experiences have allowed me to become comfortable with various breeds and temperaments, learning how to care for each dog according to their unique needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and attentiveness in looking after furry companions. I’ve also gained experience in handling different situations such as ensuring they follow a consistent routine. Overall, dog-sitting has deepened my appreciation for the bond between humans and animals, and has taught me valuable skills in patience, empathy, and care. I’m working 2 hours a week so I have a lot of free time throughout the week to ensure your dog has a fun and lovable companion throughout the day to take care of all of their needs! Owning a maximum of 7 cats at one time including older cats to kittens I have learned a lot of responsibility to different food needs, responsibilities in changing litter trays etc. And I can learn more when taking care of dogs!
“Emily was amazing with Miso and I can tell Miso was happy, well looked after and loved Emily. Emily looked after my home well while I was away also. I highly recommend Emily and I have already re-booked Emily for my next trip.”

Daniel C.
“I used Daniel’s services for my dog Benji. He is a nervous dog and I was so worried to do boarding as I have never done it before. I took Benji to Daniel’s house who was a little nervous but Daniel offered us to come back the following week and to my surprise Benji remembered him as soon as we walked into his home. I took Benji for a walk with Daniel so that he could get used to him abit more and wasn’t shy with another person walking him. That couldn’t have gone any better. Daniel also said we could come back again if needed but I felt Benji got used to him. That alone was so professional of Daniel because he didn’t have to do this. Upon taking Benji to Daniel’s home he loved it. Simba Daniel’s dog loved Benji and it was nice for him to have a friend. I felt Benji was safe at Daniel’s. I got sent photos and videos and I was so happy I could see Benji was living his best life. I couldn’t ask for a better service from Daniel. I now Know in the future I won’t have to worry about taking Benji anywhere else except to Daniel. I’m thankful. Daniel’s care and professionalism was over the standard I was expecting. Daniel’s home will be comfy, clean and tidy for any animal he takes on. I would seriously consider using his services again”
Marta Z.
“Marta was fantastic when I needed help boarding my collie and taking care of my rabbit. She kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My dog had a wonderful time — he was taken on plenty of lovely walks around local parks and truly had a mini holiday of his own. All my instructions and special requirements were followed carefully and thoughtfully. Marta was just as attentive with my bunny, making sure he had fresh grass to snack on, lots of playtime, and plenty of gentle affection. Both of my pets were so well cared for, and I could tell they felt comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
Yuexin Y.
“Yuexin is a kind, reliable, and attentive pet caregiver. She’s been amazing with our greyhound Heidi—gentle, patient, playful, and truly loving. I always feel confident leaving Heidi in her care and highly recommend her!”
