“This was our first time leaving our dog, who can be nervous with new people. He loved it at Lucy’s house and she took great care of him with regular updates to us too. Paddington is looking forward to coming back for the weekend soon! Highly recommend”
“Fatima and family were brilliant with Clover, who is not an easy dog. She sent us loads of lovely and reassuring updates, videos and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our holiday as we were quite anxious. I don't think Clover wanted to come home she had such a lovely time with her new pack! Fatima was also very happy to meet up in the run up to the holiday and now afterwards, too, which is lovely. We now have a trusted relationship that we'll definitely use again - thank you!!!”
“Thank you Maria and family. Jasper had a lovely time with you. It was reassuring to have photos and updates and nice to see what he was up to! Lots of fun and cuddles had - happy boy with you. Thank you. Maria is a super understanding host who pays attention to detail to ensure she fully understands dogs routines and needs. Very responsive to messages.”
“Vince once again loved his stay with Candi! He now rushes in as he is so excited to see her and the other dogs. Lovely pictures sent throughout of Vince with the other doggos. It is great to see him socialising and having a good time. Vince always comes home with so much energy and is getting more confident with every visit. Thanks again Candi!”
“Alireza was amazing, super friendly and accommodating. He made sure that I felt comfortable leaving my little guy with him and his boy Rexi. He was super attentive, kept me updated on Walter and assured me that even though he has his own dog, mine was his priority. Will absolutely be using him again!”
“Arlo had a lovely time and met some new friends, even tho it was a very last minute booking and they had never met, he seemed very content. I also received photo updates which I loved seeing. Thank you Bronn :)”
“Thankyou so much Daria for the short notice stay! Zeus had such an amazing time, loads of playing, walks and cuddles!! Zeus felt completely at home. Pic updates throughout Zeus's stay. ?? x”
About: Hi! I’m Kirsty, and I’m a huge animal lover with a particular soft spot for dogs. 🐶❤️ I’ve always loved dogs and spent my childhood wishing I could have one of my own. Unfortunately, allergies in my household meant that wasn’t possible growing up, so I made the most of every opportunity to spend time with friends’ and family members’ dogs. Thankfully, I’m now a very proud dog dad to Walter, my one year old pug! He’s incredibly friendly, playful and absolutely loves having other dogs around. He’s become a huge part of my life and has given me lots of hands-on experience caring for a young dog and everything that comes with it! I have a spacious, dog-friendly home and would love to welcome your furry family member into it. I want dogs staying with me to feel like they’re having a little holiday of their own, rather than simply being somewhere away from home. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks and, of course, cuddles! 🥰 I’m also very happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, walks and any little habits that help them feel comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see exactly what your pup is getting up to while they’re with me ☺️ Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re an energetic ball of chaos, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like one of the family while they’re here. ❤️🐶 I work from home 4 days a week, with the exception of Tuesday’s when I’m in office, which means your pet will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to give them regular attention, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles, while also making sure they have plenty of opportunities to rest and settle. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always discuss their usual schedule with you beforehand and do my best to keep things familiar. This includes following their normal feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, sleep routine and any other care they’re used to at home. Depending on how long I have your pet for, a typical day might include: 🍽️ Breakfast according to their usual routine 🎾 Playtime and plenty of attention throughout the morning 💻 Company and supervision while I work 🌿 Regular toilet breaks and opportunities to stretch their legs 🐕 A walk or suitable exercise during the day 😴 Plenty of quiet time and naps 🍽️ Dinner following their usual feeding schedule ❤️ Evening cuddles, playtime and another toilet break before settling down for the night Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll make sure they are supervised appropriately, particularly when meeting Walter or exploring a new environment. Introductions will be calm and gradual, and I’ll always take their individual personality and comfort level into consideration. I have a fenced garden and a large park near to my house that your pet will be able to explore however much they need. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding food, treats, walks, medication, allergies or anything else that could affect their wellbeing. I’m happy to keep certain areas of the home off-limits if needed and will make sure doors, gates and other exits are secure to prevent any adventurous escapees! I want your pet to feel comfortable enough to relax and enjoy themselves, while giving you peace of mind that they’re being looked after in a safe, loving home.

“Carly and her beautiful family looked after my most precious dog, Nahla, over the weekend. It was the first time Nahla stayed in their home, and she clearly had the best time. She came back after one night and two days completely exhausted which, as every dog owner knows, means a very happy dog 🥰 I received updates whenever I asked, and every photo showed a relaxed, smiling, and clearly well-loved pup 😍 I highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and genuinely loving place for their pet to stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We had such a great experience with Natalie and her husband looking after our two timid rescue cats for a long weekend. They were both kind, caring and patient with them, and we felt at ease knowing they were being well looked after while we were away. They kept us regularly updated, which was really reassuring, and even managed to spot both cats a couple of times, which is genuinely a huge win with our two little hiding experts! 😂 We came home to two happy, settled cats, and it was clear they had been in very safe and caring hands. We’d absolutely recommend them and would happily have them look after our Jiggly & Puff again! ❤️”
“Fatima has been amazing. I have bad piece of mind like never before and been able to to unwind and enjoy Christmas with my family. Great check-ins has been both fun and reassuring and the service has been complete value for money for me”
“My cats absolutely loved her! One of them is usually very timid and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he was surprisingly comfortable and even playful around her. It was clear that she has a natural connection with animals and made them feel safe and at ease. We were thoroughly impressed and very satisfied with her service. She went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and well cared for.”
About: I am a Surgeon Vet specialized in soft tissue surgery in dogs and cats. I have worked as a vet in my country for 13 years. I have a lot of experience caring dogs and cats in several Vet Hospitals during day or night. Also, I have had pets since I was a child. I really love having time with them. When I am with my furry friends, it is very important to me to keep an eye on them and guarantee their well-being. I have been living in The UK for 7 months.

About: I've had pets since I was young and have been dog sitting and walking in my local area since my teens. Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to check in, feed, walk and play with their dogs and cats, treating each one with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own. I've even looked after fish and ferrets for a family friend, so I'm adaptable and comfortable with less common pets alongside the usual dogs and cats. I stick closely to feeding and medication routines, so owners can relax knowing their pet is in safe, familiar hands.
About: Im a caring, responsible and reliable cat sitter who genuinely loves spending time with cat and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates to owners so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is doing well. I genuinely love cats and take pride in treating every pet as an individual. Whether your cat is playful and adventurous, shy and cautious, or simply loves a good cuddle, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel happy and secure.
“Felicitas is a wonderful pet sitter! She recently looked after our cat Rio for 5 days at our house and did an amazing job. She is a clear animal lover and he took to her instantly, and she thoughtfully brought lots of toys to entertain him with. We really appreciated that she kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures as well. She left the house spotlessly clean and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Absolutely brilliant, thankyou so much. While we was away our cat brought a live bird in our house. Joanne got rid of the bird and cleaned up after it. Sent us loads of photo and great updates on our cats. We would 100% book again. Thankyou again.”
“Marie looked after our cat Wednesday. She was super friendly and did a great job keeping us updated. Marie really went the extra mile and I'm thrilled with the service. Will definitely use her again”
About: I have had family dogs from the age of 7 and have had dogs my whole life, I have had experience of many types of breed as well, we also look after our neighbours dogs when they need us to. I currently work from home so have plenty of time through the day as my hours are flexible, this enables us to be on hand all day, I can work from anywhere with WiFi so happy to care for your dog at your own home. We have a fenced garden with plenty of room for dogs to play, we also live very close to a number of walking routes which are great for dogs
About: I’ve looked after my neighbours’ cats for several years and have experience feeding, playing with, and checking on them while their owners are away. I also use to have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with daily care, behaviour, and making sure cats feel loved and safe.
About: I've always had a dog at home, ever since I was a child. I am a lucky owner of two beautiful, friendly French Bulldogs. I have the experience in taking care of various breeds. Took care of Labradors, Westies, Basset Hounds, Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Cavaliers, Spanish Water and Cocker Spaniels, Staffies and many others. I'm used to different breeds and understand different temperaments, and have the patience to bond with all dogs of different shapes and sizes, adjusting to their personality to fit their needs and ensuring that their time spent with me is amazing. I live in a house with a big fenced garden, close to a big park. Therefore, your pet will never be starved of exercise or fresh air, in fact, it will probably be bored of so much playing! As I mentioned... I could live without people, but not without dogs. Also, I'm certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I work from home, with very flexible schedule hence always have time for a nice long walk. And I'm available for belly rubs all day long :D I have a big, fenced garden and two friendly French bulldogs who will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure to feed dogs separately, so it doesn't create any tension between them.

“Lucy is very friendly and kind. She updates us with photos of Misty throughtout the day. When we drop her off and she is excited and happy to be there. Lucy is flexible with times and gives us regular updates. Misty has used the doggy day care and she will be staying longer in June and we feel reassured she will be happy as there are other dogs to play with as well and goes out for walks with Lucy.”

“Candi was absolutely amazing with our little Mitsu. She sent lots of photos of our boy who was clearly having a time of his life! We felt really reassured and comfortable knowing that such a lovely person was looking after our fur baby. Will highly recommend her! I can confidently say we have found a reliable person to look after our boy whenever we are away !”

This gives me plenty of flexibility to work around your schedule, whether that's walks, drop-ins or boarding. Just let me know what you need and I'll do my best to fit around it, so your pet's routine stays consistent even when your own schedule changes. I have two dogs at home who are very friendly, though they're older and tend to keep to themselves upstairs, so they won't intrude on your pet's space. My garden is spacious with high fencing, giving plenty of safe, secure room to play and explore. I keep a close eye on all pets in my care and make sure routines, feeding times and any specific needs are followed closely, so owners can relax knowing their pet is safe and comfortable.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home all my life and also had a cat, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday routine. I’ve worked in a grooming parlour where I washed, handled and cared for dogs of all sizes, giving me hands‑on experience with different temperaments and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their cats, so I’m very comfortable with feline personalities and routines too. I’m reliable, gentle and always make sure every pet feels safe, understood and well cared for. I have a flexible weekly routine, which means I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop‑ins and sitting, and I always make sure I have enough time to give each pet proper attention, play and care. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they have a calm, safe space to relax and settle in. I have a fenced garden where they can enjoy secure outdoor time, and I always supervise them to keep things safe. I follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. When I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space, stick closely to feeding and walk schedules, and follow any instructions you leave. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a trusting, consistent environment where pets feel happy and well cared for 🐶🐈
“Thank you Taleb for being flexible and trustworthy for Joey. I had to call very last minute but you accommodated. You take time to explain and gave reassurance about the safety of the dog. You also keep updated through videos and photos of the dog. At the end of the session, you summarised the day at the end of the session, and gave useful pointers we need to work on. Joey is an anxious puppy but he is really lovely when the ice is broken, so thank you for your patience and genuine concern for my dog. See you again next time definitely.”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have shared my home with all sorts of pets over the years, including a Cocker Spaniel, cats, hamsters and tortoises. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, settled and loved while they're away from their owners. Whether it's sticking to a familiar routine or just plenty of cuddles, I'll always treat your dog as if they were one of my own. I have a five-year-old Cockerpoo called Daisy, who weighs around 10kg. She's wonderfully friendly and brilliant with other dogs — there's nothing she loves more than heading to the park for a walk with her doggy friends, so she'd be lovely company for any pup coming to stay.. I offer both doggy day care and overnight boarding for small to medium dogs (up to 10kg). I am happy to follow your dog's usual routine and send you regular updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they're in safe, loving hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which gives me a high level of flexibility and availability throughout the day. On a daily basis, I’m able to build pet care into my normal schedule without any disruption. During the working day, I’m present for regular check-ins and reassurance, short play sessions or quick walks, monitoring behaviour, health, and comfort, maintaining feeding schedules or giving medication if needed. Your dog's safety and happiness will always come first. I only look after small to medium dogs up to 10kg, which keeps playtime gentle and nicely matched, and I am very happy to follow any instructions you have around food, medication or little habits so your dog feels right at home. My home is a calm and friendly place where dogs are treated as one of the family rather than just a guest. Your dog will have plenty of cosy spots to relax in, lots of company from my friendly Cockerpoo Daisy, and regular walks to the local park for some fresh air and a good sniff about. I know it can be hard leaving your dog with someone new, so I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates while they're with me. You can head off knowing they're safe, settled and thoroughly spoiled until you're back together.
About: I cared for a dog when I was younger, the past couple years I care for 2 cats that we own as a family, yet I miss times when I would take dog for a walk or play in the park. I am self-employed as a taxi driver, so I am very flexible, yet school run in the morning is blocked as I am taking my child to school around 8-9 am. House with fenced garden, a big park near home, 2 polite indoors only female cats to keep the company. I respect your home as I do my own.
About: Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for pets by looking after my friends’ animals while they were on holiday and by house-sitting my friends’ parents’ two cats. These opportunities have not only deepened my love for animals but have also taught me the essentials of pet care, from maintaining feeding schedules to providing playful engagement and ensuring a clean and safe environment. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide excellent care and companionship to pets, making me a reliable choice for anyone seeking a devoted caretaker. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to be highly available and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for. I am typically free during weekdays and can easily adapt to the specific routines that your pets may require, ensuring they receive consistent care and companionship. This flexibility also enables me to provide frequent updates to you about your pet’s day, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my top priority. I have cultivated a secure and nurturing environment in my home, where your pet will be treated with care and respect. I adhere strictly to safety protocols, including secure handling and constant supervision, to prevent any incidents. Trust is fundamental in my service, and I am committed to maintaining open communication with you, providing regular updates and photos, if requested, to reassure you that your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care.
“Once again I don’t know what we would do without Pitcha. She is a lifesaver. She is so good with Wilfred and he loves coming to see her and make new friends and play. Thank you again for looking after our boy 💕”
“Our 2 rescue dogs seemed to really enjoy their trial day. They had a lovely walk and snuggle on the sofa with Dan. Really appreciated the regular updates during the day. We shall definitely be booking again. Thank you.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats, including walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and providing calm, attentive care for cats in their own homes or in my own home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a relaxed visit, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home and part-time, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care won’t be left alone and will enjoy regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I have children who are at school during the week, and they are gentle and used to being around animals. For pets that are comfortable with children, they’ll receive plenty of love and attention in a family environment. I also have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely relax and play. If your dog or cat prefers to stay in their own home, I’m more than happy to offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after at all times. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific care instructions, so they experience as little disruption as possible. Before any booking, I like to arrange a meet and greet so I can get to know you and your pet, understand their personality, likes, dislikes, and any special requirements. This also gives you the chance to feel confident and comfortable with me. In your home, I make sure your pet feels relaxed in their familiar environment, providing companionship, playtime, and lots of attention while respecting their space. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, safe, and loving environment where they’ll be supervised and included as part of the household. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and behaviour, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and independent, and I always prioritise their comfort, safety, and happiness.
“Carly was wonderful. Otter enjoyed his time with her and her family. Her home is perfect as she has a lot of space and a nice garden. I was so glad that she was able to help me on a very busy day for me.”

About: I’ve taken care of various dogs and cats since I was a teenager (15 years), including growing up with labradors and have even boarded for my auntie’s St Bernard! I’m currently supply teaching and ad hoc wedding styling so fairly flexible with a lot of my work being booked on the day. Always more free during the week. I will treat all pets like my own and care for them in a way that is as normal for them as possible. Love different dog walks and at the owners discretion, happy to bring my own pup for a walk if your doggy would like that!!
“Felicitas took our dog Cassie for a walk as part of getting to know her in preparation for a week's house and dog sitting. It was very helpful for both Felicitas and Cassie and I'm sure it will make things easier when we're away.”
“I booked Alan to walk our elderly (and occasionally grumpy) Fourche Terrier Buster, who needed to be walked while we were away on holiday, on the days when there was no-one at home during working hours. Alan was very professional. He responded promptly to all my messages and came to meet Buster beforehand and clarify all his requirements. We received updates and photos of each walk and Buster was obviously very happy with his outings. We were relieved to have found and booked Alan and were confident that Buster was in good hands. Highly recommended.”

Hi my names themariah and i am (in my opinion) the biggest animal lover i know:3 Alongside having growing up with a number of different pet species, ive had many experiences caring for many different animals,, for example studying animal care at plumpton college where i learnt how provide the proper care for a variety of animals e.g efficiently cleaning out their cages and providing them with the right type/ amount of food and learning how to properly handle them I also did a few months of work experience for my course volunteering at a dog daycare for a couple of hours each day, where i helped with socialising and entertaining the dogs there ( i also snuck a few cuddles in cause who could resist) i’m looking forward to meeting your pet and getting to know them and care for them! i am currently unemployed but working on building a buisness of my own as i love working with and looking after animals! So i will be able to be with your pets all day unless i have a scheduled dog walk / need to pop out to grab food etc! i am very clean and organised and pay attention to the small details so will work very well at keeping your pet safe and looked after,,i will need to have a settle in tour of your house so i know where all the important things are and where your pet usually sleeps ( if they have a certain spot)
About: I cared for a dog when I was younger, the past couple years I care for 2 cats that we own as a family, yet I miss times when I would take dog for a walk or play in the park. I am self-employed as a taxi driver, so I am very flexible, yet school run in the morning is blocked as I am taking my child to school around 8-9 am. House with fenced garden, a big park near home, 2 polite indoors only female cats to keep the company. I respect your home as I do my own.
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, having grown up with two Jack Russells, Jessie and Biggie. Jessie had a litter of five puppies when she was two years old, and we kept one of them, Biggie, so I had the wonderful experience of helping care for puppies and watching one grow from birth. Biggie is now 15 years old, so I also have experience caring for a senior dog. Over the years, I read books about dog training and practised basic training techniques with Biggie. I am not a professional trainer, but I am patient, attentive and genuinely interested in understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. Sadly, Jessie is no longer with us, but the years I spent caring for both of my dogs taught me how much love, patience and companionship a dog can bring into our lives. I would love to give your dog the same care, affection and attention. I work as cabin crew on a 5 days on, 3 days off schedule, so my days off vary each week. During my days off, I have plenty of time to provide walks, visits and house sitting, and I can give your dog my full attention and care. I care for pets in their own home, following their usual routine and any instructions from their owner. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well supervised, with plenty of attention, walks, affection and hugs.
“Bronn walked out Frenchie for a few days while we were away on holiday. We arranged to meet a few days before our trip, along with our dog (Princess - our rescue), so we could put a face to the name and check Princess liked her! Princess was collected each day on time for her walk and was excited each day to be going out. We also received a daily report and a photo of Princess out snd about. I was a bit unsure about using a dog walker because my dog is very strong and isn’t great on a lead, but I would recommend Bronn.”
“Joanne is a life saver. Really helped me out last minute. Looked after my dog really well, sent lots of pictures, detailed updates and was a lovely person when we met her. So glad to have found her and would definitely recommend!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog, who can be nervous with new people. He loved it at Lucy’s house and she took great care of him with regular updates to us too. Paddington is looking forward to coming back for the weekend soon! Highly recommend”
“Fatima and family were brilliant with Clover, who is not an easy dog. She sent us loads of lovely and reassuring updates, videos and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our holiday as we were quite anxious. I don't think Clover wanted to come home she had such a lovely time with her new pack! Fatima was also very happy to meet up in the run up to the holiday and now afterwards, too, which is lovely. We now have a trusted relationship that we'll definitely use again - thank you!!!”
“Vince once again loved his stay with Candi! He now rushes in as he is so excited to see her and the other dogs. Lovely pictures sent throughout of Vince with the other doggos. It is great to see him socialising and having a good time. Vince always comes home with so much energy and is getting more confident with every visit. Thanks again Candi!”
“Beth has obviously had a great time with Craig and his family. I’ve received some lovely photos and videos taken during her stay. She has had lots of exercise and fun. Would highly recommend Craig.”
“Carly and her beautiful family looked after my most precious dog, Nahla, over the weekend. It was the first time Nahla stayed in their home, and she clearly had the best time. She came back after one night and two days completely exhausted which, as every dog owner knows, means a very happy dog 🥰 I received updates whenever I asked, and every photo showed a relaxed, smiling, and clearly well-loved pup 😍 I highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and genuinely loving place for their pet to stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“This is the second time Frankie has stayed with Taleb and you can see he is totally comfortable and excited to go, in fact he’s not even bothered when we leave him! We have already booked him in for his next visit. Thanks again Taleb”
“Our Beagle, Buddy, had a wonderful time with Pitchaya and with her Beagle, Bacon! Pitchaya kept us really well updated over the five nights and was super responsive too. It was lovely knowing our boy was so well looked after 🙂. Thank you and we’ll definitely see you again!”
“Vanessa is a great and ovely dog carer, the drop off went really well, she sorted Milo sleeping bed next to her two lovely dogs and made Milo feel welcomed straight away and totallyat home! She kept us informed every day of Milo’s days with cute photos and videos and reassured us he was doing great. We will definitely use Vanessa again thank you for taking care of our little rascal and making him one of the family!”
“Geraldine was an excellent host, Squidge had a great time and loved his stay! Received regular updates, clear communication and Geraldine was accommodating for Squidge's special habits, would book again”
“Charlotte provided excellent care for our Ozzy. We felt she was very knowledgeable and felt totally at ease leaving him there for a night. She is very responsive and kept us informed. Lots of play and walks. Would definitely recommend her and Ozzy is looking forward to his next stay! :)”
“Our usual dog sitter has moved away too far so found Alisha on here. So glad we found her! Luna and Murphy have got on soo well. She’s very playful and full on and Murphy is so chilled and accepts her. Alisha was so good when meeting Luna and Luna instantly liked her. She can be a bit funny with men but also instantly liked Alisha’s husband, Dan. Really appreciated Alisha doing a meet and greet and having Luna for a free daycare to ensure Luna was comfortable. She’s also helped to work on Luna’s recall and heel walking. Would definitely recommend Alisha and will use her as our sitter now!”
“If you’re looking a family environment for your dog to be a part of whilst you’re away. You’ve found it ✨ Our Labrador Moose stayed with Caro and her family for the weekend, whilst we were at a wedding. We met up for a walk before on the open fields in front of Caro’s house and after meeting Caro and Pepper (the families Labrador) and seeing where Moose would be staying, we felt couldn’t have found a more lovely family for him to stay with. We were fine to take his big bed, toys and whatever we needed and Caro was comfortable giving moose his allergy tablets. Communication was great over the weekend and we really enjoyed all the photos Caro sent us. Moose looked like he settled in really quickly - playing with Caro’s son. He was walked everyday and got to paddle in the stream and run in the fields - it looked like he had a happy holiday whilst mum and dad were away and we will definitely be rebooking. Thanks Caro, Pepper & family xx”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home all my life and also had a cat, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday routine. I’ve worked in a grooming parlour where I washed, handled and cared for dogs of all sizes, giving me hands‑on experience with different temperaments and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their cats, so I’m very comfortable with feline personalities and routines too. I’m reliable, gentle and always make sure every pet feels safe, understood and well cared for. I have a flexible weekly routine, which means I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop‑ins and sitting, and I always make sure I have enough time to give each pet proper attention, play and care. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they have a calm, safe space to relax and settle in. I have a fenced garden where they can enjoy secure outdoor time, and I always supervise them to keep things safe. I follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. When I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space, stick closely to feeding and walk schedules, and follow any instructions you leave. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a trusting, consistent environment where pets feel happy and well cared for 🐶🐈
“Sophie and Jordan were absolutely incredible and loved Ollie like their own. Ollie basically had his own vacation while we were on our holiday! Down to earth people, great communication and made us feel instantly at ease with their natural love for pups. Could not recommend highly enough! Thank you both again 🥹💜”
“Ana is an amazing sitter. Our dog pepe loves staying with them. I get photo and video updates of him having a great time, will use her everytime im away without hesitation. Thanks Ana!”
“Karla was brilliant with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Rowdy. She kept us updated on how Rowdy was settling in, cared for her every need and was lovely to deal with. It’s clear that Karla and her partner love dogs and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10”
“Jess and her partner were lovely to our Labrador Pipa, looking after her for around a week. Jess kindly showed me around where Pipa would be staying and we had a great chat. I felt super reassured being new to the area that she’d be in great hands. And she was! Thanks Jess!”
