“I highly recommend Charlotte, she sat with our precious dog Teddy in our home for the weekend. Teddy adored her and we felt very relaxed leaving Teddy and our home, in her very capable hands. When we returned we had a very tidy house and a very happy dog. Teddy has a complicated feeding and medication regime, but Charlotte was not phased at all . Thank you Charley, Teddy is looking forward to the next dogsit with you!”
“Katherine and her family looked after Boe our Border Collie for 6 days it was Boes first time there she was very happy and relaxed Katherine kept me updated regularly with how Boe was doing alongside photos I would leave Boe again”
“I couldn’t have found such a caring reliable person to look after my 15 week old Mabel. I trusted her straight away as she is a genuine dog lover. Whilst I was away Siân sent regular daily updates with photos. Mabel settled in really well and I have hopefully found a new BFF for Mabel for life! It made me feel so much better leaving her knowing she was so well looked after and loved. A great big thank you xx”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She provided lovely early and late walks, as well as plenty of garden space for him to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my dog was in safe and caring hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes their wellbeing seriously. I would highly recommend Amanda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Lily & Frida spent 3 nights on holiday with Jake. It was during the very hot weather so he had his hands full keeping them as cool as possible. I know that he did everything that I would have done to ensure they were as comfortable as possible. They were both happy and so were we. I have no hesitation in recommending Jake.”
About: Wagworth's Dog Care: I am dog mad, having loved them since I was little. I specialise in looking after puppies and elderly dogs who often need a bit more care and attention, and treating them like one of my family. I have owned several dogs myself and I currently have 2 very friendly dogs - a 4 year old Border Terrier / Poodle mix, Bertie, and a 1 year old Jack Russel Terrier, Bailey. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so can accommodate walks and dog sitting flexibly. I spend most of my weekends with my dogs out on long walks along the coast or on the Downs. I have a fenced garden and my own dogs to keep yours company. I have a car and it is a short distance from my house to great walks along the beach or in fields.
About: I’ve always had a dog in the family and enjoy spending my time with dogs, whether that be walks or general care. Always up for a good adventure. I currently work Monday to Friday so would be more available for weekend work than in the week, but can make some adjustments for potential evening walks etc. I have a fenced garden so plenty of space for a dog to enjoy even after a good walk. I also have the space to crate a dog too.
“Hollie was fantastic, easy to deal with, great communication, and she sent plenty of photos, which I really appreciated. Benny was happy and well cared for the whole time. She's trustworthy, reliable, and someone I'd happily book again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Friends, family, and neighbours have regularly trusted me to care for their dogs, including feeding, walking, administering medication, providing companionship, and maintaining their routines. One of my greatest experiences was caring for my own dog, the late Stanley, through a cancer diagnosis. Supporting him through holistic medication and traditional treatment taught me the importance of patience, close observation, medication management, and providing comfort during difficult times. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the extra care, compassion, and reassurance that senior dogs or those with health conditions may need. I pride myself on treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and relaxed while in my care, and giving my owner clients complete peace of mind. 🐾 I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's usual routine, so I will do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication requirements, and plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. Your pet's comfort, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my priority. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's individual routine, personality, and needs so they feel relaxed and secure while in my care. I am experienced in both caring for pets in my own home and staying in owners' homes, and have done so on many occasions throughout my time as a dog and cat sitter. This flexibility allows pets to remain comfortable in the environment that suits them best. Whether caring for your pet in their home or mine, I ensure they have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I am also experienced in administering medication and following detailed care instructions, including for senior pets and those with additional health needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the highest level of care while you're away. 🐾❤️

“Fantastic visits from Olivia this weekend. Lovely report cards about the cat with lots of photos and really left me feeling reassured that Meilo was in the best hands. Thank you!”
“Emma was just perfect. She was very kind, conscientious and diligent. I instinctly felt assured I could trust her to look after Hercule and respect my home. Hercule has never been left for more than an overnight before and I was so anxious as to how he would fare. But I felt completely reassured by Emma's little visit reports and she was really very patient with my nervous messaging. It was perfectly evident she is an animal lover and takes great pride in caring for them. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. Much more importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed little cat; despite it being a heatwave whilst I was away and the huge disruption to his routine. It was also quite apparent that he took a liking to Emma very quickly. Communication was clear, concise and very friendly. I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience and will certainly book her services the next time I go away.”
“Jenny was so wonderful with our 3 dogs of different sizes and energy levels. She provided updates and beautiful photos throughout the day and provided each dog with a thorough report. She was very professional from beginning to end and I will def book her again!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for 8 years, caring for my two cats, Harold and Ronald, and have experience looking after cats with very different personalities and needs. I also have hands-on experience caring for a seriously unwell cat following a traumatic accident. During his recovery, I managed a demanding care routine that included 8 hand-fed medications every day, alongside feeding, monitoring, comforting and giving him plenty of one-to-one attention. This taught me to be patient, observant and confident when a cat needs extra care or medication.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me. Right now, I have my dog Alfie, a complete bundle of energy who needs tons of walks, fetch, and playtime to tire him out. I also recently lost my older dog, so I deeply understand the extra patience, slow walks, and gentle care that senior dogs need. From high energy dogs to quiet seniors, I’ll treat your dog just like my own :) Since I work on a small remote project from home, my schedule is completely flexible. I don't have fixed office hours, which means I have all the time in the world to give your dogs the care, attention, and company they need, especially if you're away on holiday and want them to feel comfortable at home! I’m already out walking my energetic dog Alfie for 2 to 3 hours every day (split into a couple of walks, usually early morning and late evening during hot weather, with plenty of indoor playtime in between). I also have my own car, so traveling to nearby areas or taking your dog to nice walking spots is no problem at all. The house I live in is very big, we usually leave a door open but for first visitors I would go out into garden with their lead on to make sure they know how to get back to the house. I would be happy to let them off the lead and follow them around so they don’t get lost. In the owners home I would always take them out on a lead and make sure they feel safe and the environment is safe before letting them off.

“What a great find for our Sidney and us. After losing his brother last year, he has suffered with separation anxiety and can't be left for long. Luckily Charlotte has come to the rescue. He absolutely loves going to see her and always has a lovely time. Thanks so much from us three xxx”
“Sian was brilliant! Sian looked after our working cocker spaniel Bonnie for the day, made Bonnie feel straight at home and sent updates to let us know she was okay. I’d 100% recommend Sian, and we’ll be using her again if we’re in the area!”
“Lily and Frida made themselves at home judging by the photos Jake sent! They had a lovely walk and seemed very happy when I collected them. Jake and his partner are attentive doggie carers and I have no hesitation in leaving the girls in their care.”

About: I have had dogs of all kinds all my life. I adore dogs. I had a very nervous Golden Retriever from 8 weeks old until he passed away. I saw him as part of the family. I looked after a Welsh Border Collie for 18 months because the owner couldn’t have dogs where she moved to. I also looked after two 10-year-old Labrador/Alsatian crosses. One of them had behavioural issues, but I was able to care for her confidently. I used to dog sit for them every few weeks and stay for several days at a time. I am reliable, sensible and flexible.

There’s a dog park at the top of my road that has play equipment suitable for dogs and is a huge gated area that I like to rent out when having other dogs especially for meeting for the first time !
About: I rehomed my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross Cocker Spaniel three years ago, and through working with her I’ve gained a strong understanding of how to care for dogs that may be anxious, nervous, or reactive in certain situations. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, calm handling and consistency with training . I understand how to read dog body language, recognise triggers, and help dogs feel safe and comfortable while out on walks or in a home environment. Because of this, I’m confident caring for dogs that may need extra understanding. My priority is always to make every dog feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in safe hands. I am currently job hunting at the moment so I’m very flexible which means I have lots of free time to spend with dogs:) I prioritise the safety, wellbeing, and comfort of every pet in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any behavioural guidance. I ensure pets are always supervised or kept in a secure, pet-safe environment.In a client’s home, I respect your property, follow all agreed routines, and ensure doors, gates, and security measures are properly managed at all times.

“I highly recommend Charlotte, she sat with our precious dog Teddy in our home for the weekend. Teddy adored her and we felt very relaxed leaving Teddy and our home, in her very capable hands. When we returned we had a very tidy house and a very happy dog. Teddy has a complicated feeding and medication regime, but Charlotte was not phased at all . Thank you Charley, Teddy is looking forward to the next dogsit with you!”
“Benji had another lovely stay with Ellie. Ellie took amazing care of him and even noticed he wasn’t himself. She took extra care of him, even encouraging him to eat when he didn’t want to. Ellie noticed he was suffering with a poorly ear, it turns out he did have an ear infection. We are so grateful for the care she always gives Benji and the extra care she gives when he was poorly. Thank you!”
“Ho Mei did a great job of looking after our cocker spaniel, Harvey. Communication was very prompt and professional, lots of photos were sent of him so we could see what he’d been doing and he clearly enjoyed his walks and cuddles. Highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t have found such a caring reliable person to look after my 15 week old Mabel. I trusted her straight away as she is a genuine dog lover. Whilst I was away Siân sent regular daily updates with photos. Mabel settled in really well and I have hopefully found a new BFF for Mabel for life! It made me feel so much better leaving her knowing she was so well looked after and loved. A great big thank you xx”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She provided lovely early and late walks, as well as plenty of garden space for him to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my dog was in safe and caring hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes their wellbeing seriously. I would highly recommend Amanda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Claire and her family made our dogs very welcome in their home and they’ve come home happy. We have a reactive rescue dog and Claire’s experience was very reassuring. It sounds like they’ve had great fun with Claire’s daughters and been totally spoiled with attention. Totally recommend Claire.”
“Second time Rufus has stayed with Eli and her partner. He loves it and settles very quickly. He is normally quite anxious so this was reassuring. We love the regular updates and it’s clear that he is well looked after and fussed. He is cared for like their own and that’s all you can ask for!”
“Having found Sarah on Dog buddy we had a trial night sleepover and this went very well. It’s always daunting leaving your fur baby with strangers but Sarah was amazing and very welcoming and i was kept updated with lovely picture posts on the whole stay. All of our dogs needs were taken care of and I have one happy hound returning home, he had a wonderful stay. Thanks to Sarah x”

“Hollie was fantastic, easy to deal with, great communication, and she sent plenty of photos, which I really appreciated. Benny was happy and well cared for the whole time. She's trustworthy, reliable, and someone I'd happily book again.”
“Katie and Jamie provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. Katie sent photos via WhatsApp so we could see how they were doing and we could see they were very happy and content. When we collected our dogs it was obvious the dogs had formed a good bond with Katie and Jamie. Katie and Jamie obviously love dogs and I would recommend them to anyone who want to know there pets are being very well looked after.”
“Holly and jasper took really good care of our dog. Sent loads of pictures of him enjoying his little holiday, which was really nice and unexpected. They are really friendly personable people and I felt very comfortable leaving my lovely dog with them. Sometimes Rufus can be a bit over excited and jumpy and this was no problem for them, which was a relief. I would highly recommend them, they also had a lovely big garden for him to play in. And let him sit on the sofa!!”
