“Hazel had an amazing time with Katherine and her family. This was her first time staying but the frequent updates whilst we were away stopped us from worrying as we knew Hazel was having a fantastic time. We will definitely be coming back in the future!”

“Benji had another great stay at Ellie’s at the weekend with Ellie and her family. Even with him having a few toilet accidents, Ellie took great care of him and was very understanding. Ellie kept me updated with lots of photos and it looked like Benji was having the best time at both the beach and in the woods with them all. Thank you for always taking great care of Benji for us!”

“Sharon was fantastic with my little Shih Tzu, Mushu. He had a great time staying with her, her husband Dave and their dog Bertie. I received updates and photos at least once a day and was always happy that he was being well looked after and that all was going well.”

It was lovely to have daily updates on how he was doing and I believe Oakley had a wonderful time with all the family. Thank you very much! We will be back xx”

“Harriet was brilliant and very accommodating with our dog, Robyn, who she looked after overnight during our wedding and brought her down to see us so she could be in some of our pictures which meant the world to us. Very responsive and helpful, we didn't worry about Robyn once during our big day, and it looked like Robyn enjoyed herself.”

“Scott was great. Raffy is a young boy with lots of energy and Scott managed him brilliantly. Raffy seemed to have loved spending time with Scott and his family. I got an update on the day I dropped him off to say he had settled in and was all good and amazing when I then needed ti pick him up slightly earlier. Thank you so much Scott and family.”

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. I also have a car, so I can come at short notice and provide emergency transport to the vet if ever needed. I am available most days (except Tuesdays) and have my own car, so I’m able to travel where needed. I am reliable, caring and able to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays and boarding. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay. I’ll always do my best to follow their usual routine and give them plenty of love, attention and playtime, so they feel as comfortable as possible. I live in a large one-bedroom first-floor flat and have my landlord’s permission to have pets. I am also happy to stay in your home if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with. I am respectful, trustworthy and fully focused on caring for your furry family member as if they were my own. I recently lost my partner hence why I’d like to do this. I am available most days (except Tues) and I have a car so I’m able to travel/come at short notice. I am currently not working due to a health condition but that doesn’t affect me caring for dogs.

I have permission from my landlord to have pets. I am also happy to stay at the owners house. I am really respectful and fully focussed on caring for your fluffy friends!

About: All my life I’ve had small animals from guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, cats and kittens.

I’ve cat sit for both neighbors and family when needed which involved playtime, lots of cuddles, feeding and cleaning of litter tray, basic grooming and nail clipping. Most of all I have my own wonderful Bengal mix called Nova, she’s just over a year old now so still a baby in my eyes ! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I always make sure I have a meet and greet in person to establish that relationship with both the owner and pet as well as understand their specific needs and routines.

About: I've always had my own cats growing up and they lived until the amazing age of 19 and 20! I've looked after my friends and families cats and absolutely love animals in general, both cats and dogs.

You can rest assured knowing your pet would be very looked after in my care.

About: I’ve been around dogs since before I could walk, growing up in a family filled with furry friends. I trained my own cocker spaniel from puppyhood, mastering everything from basic commands to good behaviour. Over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. My deep love for animals, combined with my practical experience, ensures your pet will be in great hands. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine since I work from home, allowing me to give your pets constant attention and care. My own cocker spaniel requires at least an hour of exercise daily, so we embark on plenty of walks and outdoor adventures. Your pets will join us on these outings, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation they need while enjoying a loving, active environment. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe and welcoming environment. I have a walled back garden where they can roam freely, and I keep the back doors open so they always have access to the garden and the downstairs area. My own dog is crate trained, so I'm comfortable accommodating both crate-trained and non-crate-trained dogs. Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of space to explore, relax, and feel secure.

About: I’m a friendly, reliable and DBS checked dog walker with hands-on experience from owning dogs over the years, as well as volunteering with the RSPCA in dog care. I’m comfortable with a range of breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue and nervous dogs, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’ll always provide a calm, caring approach, keep you updated, and treat your dog as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me flexibility for dog walks during the day. I’m available for walks during my lunch break (between 11:30am–2pm) and after work from 5pm onwards. Wednesdays are less flexible, but I may still have limited availability depending on the week. I’m generally available most weekends at any time, so I can be more flexible to suit your dog’s routine. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities through both personal ownership and my volunteering with the RSPCA. This has given me confidence working with a range of temperaments, including dogs who may be nervous, shy or simply need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. For added peace of mind, I am DBS checked and have completed Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) training, covering CPR, choking, bleeding control, seizures and other common canine emergencies. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority. Every dog is different, so I believe walks should be tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk, a slower-paced stroll or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I aim to provide a positive experience that leaves them happy, enriched and looking forward to their next adventure.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, am a qualified dog psychologist and a big belly rub enthusiast. I recently lost my elderly sassy dachshund Ruby who lived to 14.

I’ll be available to take your pup on regular walks and snuggle with them in the evening. I’ll give them the structure they need to feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to adapt to any routine your dog is used to. I’ve stayed in my clients homes when they have been away, my priority is care for the pup while taking care of your home. I’m very clean and will make sure the place is ready for your return.

About: Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Teaching Assistant in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) setting, regularly involved in outdoor activities and Forest School sessions. This means I’m at my happiest outdoors, rain or shine, and I’m used to managing a variety of unique needs with patience and a calm, positive approach. Working in an SEN environment has taught me how to read body language and learn to provide care for each individual’s needs - skills that translate perfectly to dealing with our furry friends! Whether your dog is a zoomy explorer who loves adventure or a more nervous personality who needs a gentle, patient companion, I can adapt my walking style to suit them. Why choose me? * DBS-Checked: I hold a current Enhanced DBS through my school role. * Genuine Love For The Outdoors: Spending most of my work and free time outside, all year long. * SEN Expertise: I’m highly patient and experienced with 'big' personalities and complex needs. * Reliable & Responsible: I’m used to following strict safety protocols and routines. * Experience with reactive/nervous dogs: Growing up at home with rescue dogs with challenging behaviours, learning to nurture and understand dogs both confident and nervous. Reach out with any queries you might have and I’ll respond as soon as I am able. Initial meet and greets with dogs are completely free as I’ll be eager to get to know the dogs before we set off on our first walk together! I work school hours during the week, which means I am free from 3:30pm weekdays. On weekends I can be available and flexible with hours, also being able to offer full time availability during school holidays. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and share some fun fuelled walks! I can commit my full focus and attention towards your four legged loved ones, as I get as much joy being around them as they hopefully will around me! I have a very calm demeanour which I like to think helps the people and dogs around me feel the same way too.
About: Since my early years, the family house has always been filled with small animals - cats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. From this I’ve built a very good understanding of how to care for small animals like how to administer medication, feed, clean and groom them. Over my teenage years, whilst completing my gold Duke of Edinburgh, I volunteered for a year at an animal sanctuary where we cared and housed the most random of animals from hedgehogs to seagulls. But the most common animal we had were cats and kittens. Often we had around 20 cats at one time so I had to make sure to divide my time well that each animal had a good amount of human contact, cuddles, play time and grooming. It was important to establish bonds with the cats and kittens coming in as many were rescues so some didn’t have the best experience with human interaction. It was also important to build this connection so that they were able to go to homes in the future. As I have my own pet, Nova, I am very confident with scheduling for food, cleaning, vet visits etc. I work early in the morning therefore am up for early feeding time and then free for the whole day. Before accepting any job, It is my priority to first establish a basic relationship with the owner and pet in a visit before the intended date. This allows me to meet the pet and learn their schedule/ behaviour and where everything needed is and make sure you are happy and comfortable with me too!

About: I’ve always had pets in my family growing up and as I’ve grown, my love for dogs and animals has grown also! My friends have always trusted me with their pets whilst on vacation and I’ve always been thrilled to give their loved animals the best experience and a big amount of love while they’re away. I have a big space and fenced garden to have lots of play time and fun! I’m a university student with a flexible schedule outside of my classes, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting during most weekdays and weekends, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, walks or playtime. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure and loved while in my care. I’ll also keep your home clean, tidy and respected if I’m caring for your pet there. If your baby is with me, we have a large fenced garden to play around in, as well as many nearby parks!
“We love Violet!! As soon Violet met our dog Millie, you could tell she has a special affinity with animals. Millie had some lovely walks with Violet and I received an update every day with photos and videos which was so lovely. We’ll be booking Violet again very soon!”

About: Hi im izzie. You’ll usually find me on the slopes instructing young kids how to snowboard, but while im waiting for the snow to come in I like to work as a pet sitter and dog walker. My family have always had dogs and other pets so im very confident in looking after pets and look forward to meeting your pets and giving them a good experience on their walks or while you’re on holiday! Having always lived with dogs im very comfortable around all sorts of breeds as well as aiding in the training of my dogs. I’m currently unemployed as my work as a snowboard instructor has time off during the split in the seasons. I’ve just returned from a season in japan and will be heading off to australia in june. But while im waiting for the snow to come in my schedule is fully flexible and I can work around booking that I get due to not having a set work schedule to live by. What you need I can give. I think it’s important when looking after your pet that while you’re gone, as little changes for them as possible. So sticking to their routine so they feel as comfortable as possible and can build trust with me while you aren’t there. My goal for them is to feel as safe as possible while having fun at the same time.

“Benji had another great stay at Ellie’s at the weekend with Ellie and her family. Even with him having a few toilet accidents, Ellie took great care of him and was very understanding. Ellie kept me updated with lots of photos and it looked like Benji was having the best time at both the beach and in the woods with them all. Thank you for always taking great care of Benji for us!”


“Minnie absolutely loved her stay with Amanda. Beautiful garden for dogs and Amanda is very kind and loving towards dogs. Would fully recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”

I've also looked after pets for neighbours and family friends, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I love attending training classes with my own dog, Bruce, and have picked up a few fun tricks and training techniques along the way that I can practise with your pup too!

“Sarah & her family made out beagle Oakley feel very welcome and we’re more than happy to see to his special dietary requirements and other needs. It was lovely to have daily updates on how he was doing and I believe Oakley had a wonderful time with all the family. Thank you very much! We will be back xx”

“Harriet was brilliant and very accommodating with our dog, Robyn, who she looked after overnight during our wedding and brought her down to see us so she could be in some of our pictures which meant the world to us. Very responsive and helpful, we didn't worry about Robyn once during our big day, and it looked like Robyn enjoyed herself.”

“Scott was great. Raffy is a young boy with lots of energy and Scott managed him brilliantly. Raffy seemed to have loved spending time with Scott and his family. I got an update on the day I dropped him off to say he had settled in and was all good and amazing when I then needed ti pick him up slightly earlier. Thank you so much Scott and family.”

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. I also have a car, so I can come at short notice and provide emergency transport to the vet if ever needed. I am available most days (except Tuesdays) and have my own car, so I’m able to travel where needed. I am reliable, caring and able to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays and boarding. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay. I’ll always do my best to follow their usual routine and give them plenty of love, attention and playtime, so they feel as comfortable as possible. I live in a large one-bedroom first-floor flat and have my landlord’s permission to have pets. I am also happy to stay in your home if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with. I am respectful, trustworthy and fully focused on caring for your furry family member as if they were my own. I recently lost my partner hence why I’d like to do this. I am available most days (except Tues) and I have a car so I’m able to travel/come at short notice. I am currently not working due to a health condition but that doesn’t affect me caring for dogs.

“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Aldo, in the care of Tina, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Tina, it was clear that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Her warm and welcoming character immediately put both Aldo and me at ease. She took the time to understand Aldo's routines and quirks, ensuring he felt comfortable and loved. Throughout Aldo's stay, Tina provided regular updates with photos, which reassured me that he was happy and well-cared for. It was evident that Tina treated Aldo as if he were her own, showering him with affection and attention. When I picked up Aldo, he was in great spirits, and it was clear that he had bonded with Tina. It was heart-warming to see how comfortable and relaxed he was in her presence. Aldo came home happy, healthy, and a little bit spoiled – in the best possible way. I wholeheartedly recommend Tina to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter for their furry friend. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for dogs make her an exceptional choice. Aldo and I are both incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and attention he received. Thank you, Tina for providing Aldo with such a fantastic experience! We will be booking again for sure!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs of all kinds for just over two years now. Every dog has its own personality and I take pride in making sure these personalities are understood, so that I can build a genuine connection with them. There's nothing more rewarding then clicking with these amazing animals. I currently work during the day, so taking care of your pets will be a late afternoon service. Weekends can be an all day service. I live in a flat with two other people who are animal lovers too. If there's anything that the client knows the dog likes to get their teeth on then I'll make sure that's cleared away. There will always be water available. And whatever the dogs schedule, I will adhere to that to insure routine is upheld.

I get yearly timetables and I dedicate time each week for walks, feeding, and check-ins, ensuring consistent, dependable care. In my home, pets become part of the family—lots of love, walks, and cozy spots to rest. Secured garden and run of our home. In your home, I provide gentle, reliable care that keeps their routine steady and stress-free.
