“Honestly, I can't thank or recommend Victoria enough! She as been absolutely amazing! This is the first time I've spent more than an hour away from my precious pup and Victoria didn't only reassure me she also kept me updated the whole time! She took fantastic care of my Jasper! Thank you again Victotoa, if I could give more stars I would! ❤️🥰💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“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.”

“Imogen was amazing with Bonnie today. Kept me updated on how Bonnie has been and Imogen did everything we asked and more! She was also on time and very polite and pleasant. We and Bonnie would recommend Imogen to anyone for someone wanting a pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again and Bonnie misses her as soon as she left tonight. Thanks Imogen 5 stars from us”

“Andrew recently looked after my nervous rescue dog who I was leaving for the first time since I got him 5 months ago. When I got home after 5 days, I had a very happy dog and a clean and tidy house. Andrew dealt really well with my dog snapping at him unexpectedly and was very understanding of the situation. I will definitely try to book him again!”

“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! From the very first message, she was kind, professional, and so easy to communicate with. During the stay, she kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our doggy was so happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Everything went perfectly, and it’s such a comfort to know we’ve found someone we can trust. X We’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

About: I have owned a dog all my adult life and come from a family of dog lovers, we have all different breeds and sizes which as a family we all care for together, we often meet up and socialise them together. Having had dogs myself I have cared for them from puppy to their final years. I have 2 Frenchies and a cat of my own, after recently being made redundant I decided to work for myself dog walking as I love Dogs, walking, and understand the stress this takes on working dog parents. I offer a free meet up for all new dogs and complete a questionnaire to understand your pets specific needs. I offer a variety of walking services all listed on my website.
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
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I provide safe walks, fun playtime, feeding, cuddles, and reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I currently work shifts, which means my availability can be flexible. On early shifts I am free most afternoons and evenings, and on late shifts I am available most mornings and early afternoons. This allows me to fit in plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They always have access to fresh water, comfy spaces to rest, and plenty of supervised playtime. I follow each owner’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any special requirements. Safety comes first, so dogs are never left unattended for long periods. Most importantly, I give them love, cuddles, and attention to make them feel safe and happy.
“Phoebe took good care of Biscuit while we were away for the weekend. Biscuit was on her season so a bit trickier to handle but Phoebe knew what to do. Phoebe also left the house very clean and tidy.”

“Theo has been absolutely amazing whilst me and my mum went away for a few nights. It was our first time leaving our cats + budgies home alone since getting them and Theo calmed our nerves with so many pictures (we requested as many as possible and Theo delivered) We can’t thank you enough and hope to use you again soon!! xx”
“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the most of my life. Recently got a dog that I nearly solely take care of. Excellent at keeping dogs entertained and happy. I’m currently working part time so can care for all dogs most of the time. Going to be starting new work soon so that will cut into weekdays untill approximately 2pm. Keep the dog out of areas they shouldn’t be in. And make sure they don’t make a mess and let them out to play and do their business constantly.
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.
“Jayne and Brian did a great job taking care of both of my dogs and sent me updates with information of where they went along with photos. They were respectful of my home too. Thank you for taking care of Loco and Bella”

“Heather house sat for us and looked after our cockapoo, Hugo, for a few days. She was respectful, reliable, and communicative throughout, sending regular photo updates to show that Hugo was happy and well cared for. We really appreciated the peace of mind while we were away. We’d highly recommend Heather and happily give her 5 stars. Thank you again!”

About: I have taken care of my pointer since he was a baby. I am also a qualified dog groomer, and have confidence when handling dogs. I currently work part time, so I am available during the day and at evenings. I am also flexible to offer weekend doggy care. Any availability you are looking for, I will always try to cater for. I will discuss any requirements beforehand, such as on lead/off lead walking. Also home safety when I am sitting, this will be required to be shared by dog owner. I like to know as much information about your doggy , what they like, what they don't like etc.
