“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lucy. Lara stayed with her for three weeks, and from start to finish we felt completely confident that she was in safe, caring hands. Lara was so well looked after and clearly had an amazing time — especially playing with the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing she wasn’t just being “watched,” but was actually having fun, staying active, and socializing every day. She truly seemed to feel at home, which meant everything to us. We especially appreciated the regular updates, messages, and photos Lucy sent throughout her stay. They gave us so much reassurance and allowed us to fully relax while we were away, knowing Lara was happy and settled. We’re incredibly happy with the service Lucy provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter. We will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future!”
“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.”
“Norris loved his stay! He was a bit scared of the husky’s at first, but he settled really quickly then had a great time! He loved how active the house was, and he’s come home for a rest 😄”

“We have never left Benji with anyone who isn’t immediate family before, so it was very nerve wracking! But I feel so lucky to have discovered Pitcha, she sends so many wonderful updates and treated Benji like her own dog. He had company 24/7 and she was so gentle with him (he’s an emotional baby). It’s so wonderful to have found Pitcha and to know she loves your dog just as you would! I couldn’t recommend her more - 10/10! ❤️🥰”
“Candi looked after our miniature dachshund puppy Zeus for 2 days whilst we were having our wedding, and it’s safe to say he had an absolute blast with Candi and her friendly Dogs, we felt awful taking him away as he enjoyed it that much, thanks again Candi for helping us at such short notice and for being so accommodating for our puppy”
“Germaine was brilliant - she’ll stepped up at super short notice to help with my dog Frenchie. Great communication throughout and picked up a calm and happy dog. Really appreciated and highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her 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 :)”
“Mayzie was absolutely amazing with Douglas! She was super responsive and friendly with communication beforehand and sent regular updates while Douglas was with her and he came home a very happy boy. Thank you!”
“Craig and his family are lovely and took such good care of Herbert. We received great communication with photos and videos showing him having a good time. He was taken on long walks and seems to have had a wonderful time playing with Piper. Our only concern was that Herbert wouldn’t want to come home!”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Carly and her lovely family. I contacted her at short notice to request an overnight stay for my French Bulldog. Communication was excellent - Carly sent message/photo updates to put my mind at rest. Lovely to now have a local, trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you Carly and family 💗”

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. I came here to prepare my RCVS exam to be able to work as a Surgeon Vet here. So, I would like to meet your lovely furry! See you soon!
“Aime was a fantastic cat sitter for us! She arrived on time and followed all our instructions carefully to ensure our kittens were fed on time and all other safety instructions we wrote out for her. She played with them a lot too! And we received many photos and videos on the day to see how they were getting on. I would absolutely recommend Aime to anybody she is an incredible sitter and I want to thank her so much for putting our minds at ease using a service like this for the first time!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Julia! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away. My cat was well-fed, happy, and relaxed when I returned. Communication was great, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Will definitely book again! Thank you xx”
“Absolutely amazing! What a lovely lady! We used to leave our cats in a cathotel and when we would return they wouldn't be very happy, it would take a few time to come around to us! With Sharon popping in, its a huge difference. They are so just so happy when we come home. They are so well looked after and she sends so many updates. She's the best!”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds for the majority of the my teenage years, into adulthood. This has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of temperaments and makes me easily adaptable to being around different dogs, with confidence. I have had many dogs too - a Dalmatian, border collie, Labrador, pug, husky, and English pointer, only adding to my love for any breed of dog, big or small 🐶❤️ I’m able to fit sits in on specified days, depending on my other work commitments. I keep my calendar up to date with my latest availability for sits. I have a fenced, decent sized garden, a separate conservatory used as a ‘dog room’ with a sofa and lots of sunshine for the cooler months where my own dogs love to bask in the sun and relax. I have 3 friendly dogs too.
“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!”
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.
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 have had experiences with cats! I have been relied on my by my friends, family and neighbours to care, play and take good care of their cats! Do let me know if there is anything i can do to make their stay that extra bit nicer!
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: Cats have always had a special place in my heart and are, without a doubt, my favourite animals. I was lucky enough to grow up with three cats throughout my childhood, so I’ve been around cats for as long as I can remember. Living with them taught me to understand their different personalities, body language, and routines, and I know that every cat enjoys affection on their own terms! Sadly, I can’t have a cat of my own now because my partner is allergic, so being able to care for other people’s cats is something I genuinely love. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention and playtime or prefers a quieter companion who respects their space, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I am that girl that makes friends with all the stray cats when i’m aboard. If I could, I’d bring every single one of them home with me!

“Fatima was a great sitter! Bean looked like he was very much loved by her and the entire family. He settled right in. He enjoyed the company of other dogs. I will definitely come back again.”
“Candice was amazing with our little Kenzo, It was nice to get regular updates and pictures of Kenzo enjoying his time with the other little doggies which gave me reassurance as it was our first time of leaving him with someone else, we were very pleased with how Candice looked after Kenzo through the day so decided to rebook her again for his first overnight stay 🧡 thanks Candice!

“We were vey grateful that Felicitas helped us out at short notice by looking after Cassie, our dog, at our house while we were out for the day. Cassie is quite shy and nervous but Felicitas was very skilfull at calming her and when we got back they were best friends! I highly recommend Felicitas to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
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.
“We have recently found Daria to take our dog, Daisy, regularly once a week and I’m so pleased that we have. Daisy is always welcomed warmly at the door and Daria has shown so much patience for her nervous temperament. She is sure to send through regular photos of Daisy’s day which is really reassuring to receive. I would highly recommend to anyone in the local area. Thank you Daria !”
About: Your dog is welcome in my home just like one of my own - everyone is allowed on the sofa! I have a HNC in animal care, have worked at a doggy day care centre and been a vet care assistant in my previous jobs. I am now a primary school teaching assistant wanting to have some extra doggy company at weekends and in the school holidays. I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and would welcome small dogs (up to 10kg) for boarding and day care in my home. Must get along with other dogs - my 2 are quite lazy! If your dog joins us, a typical day would be chilling out in the house and garden, and going for walks in the local parks. Please get in touch if you have any questions before booking. At weekends and school holidays I am at home full time to care for your pets! For weekend boarding from September drop off will be after 3pm on Fridays, please message me to open calendar for bookings! Your pets will be in my home with me and my 2 dogs to keep them company. There will always be access to the garden for toileting and having a potter around. For walks I can walk your dog with mine if suitable, or take them out separately if required. We walk around the local area and parks so your dog will need to be comfortable in public spaces around other dogs, people and traffic. Sleeping arrangements can be flexible based on where your dog is most comfortable. You will need to provide your own food for your pet which I can give at your preffered time. All vaccinations must be up to date and your dog must have had flea prevention treatment.
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 💕”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and personalities. I have a dog and have also helped friends, neighbours and family with walking, feeding, bathing and daily care. I’m calm, patient and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved and comfortable. Because I work part-time, I have lots of free time during the day to focus on your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, feeding times and cuddles. Weekdays and weekends are both flexible for me. I create a relaxed and stress-free environment where pets can feel safe and loved. I pay close attention to their needs, keep everything clean, and follow your instructions exactly. Your pet will always receive gentle care, lots of attention and regular updates from me.
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.

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.
“Lola absolutely loves her time with Taleb! As an energetic puppy, Taleb gives Lola the love, time and attention that she needs when we are unable to due to work & I know she is happy and having the best day with him. He is so great with giving each different breed the care that they need & you can tell how much the dogs love him! He is also super flexible & very quick to come back to requests. Highly recommend!!”

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.

“Dishita has been great with my dog Maggie. Very friendly and confident with walking her, great communication and felt very safe and comfortable with her coming to pick Maggie up from our home. She deals with some of Maggie’s more stubborn quirks perfectly and I’ll definitely be asking her to walk regularly again!”

“Felicitas has looked after Sidney twice now, once for the day, and once for a walk. She is very reliable and responsible, and Sidney absolutely loves her! She left the house in a very clean state when she stayed here for the day, and she provided me with regular updates on Sidney while she looked after him. She was very receptive to hear about his needs (which are a lot, being 11 years old now!), and she was understanding about his requirements. I would definitely recommend her, and will be using her again as a very reliable and safe pair of hands to look after my precious boy. His excitement at seeing her shows he enjoys Felicitas looking after him too!”
About: 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)
“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.”
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I provide a safe, caring, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. Having previously owned a dog myself, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s individual needs, including exercise, companionship, routine, and plenty of attention. I genuinely love animals and take pride in ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My son also enjoys spending time with dogs, which means your pet will receive plenty of affection and companionship in a warm, family-oriented home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to providing the highest standard of care throughout their stay. I currently only work park time and only 8-1 so have weekends free and Mondays and Thursdays! My working days are Tuesday Wednesday Fridays 8-1 I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment where pets can enjoy plenty of playtime, and affection. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency in the pet’s routine. I make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest, while also keeping the home tidy and cared for. No matter where I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family and give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I don’t have a garden but I have a big field at the end of my road!
“Very professional and friendly- kept me informed of how the walk went with photos. Totally trust Alex with my dog and will be using her for a regular weekly walk without hesitation”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have regularly been trusted by friends and neighbours to care for their pets, including feeding, walking and general day to day care. I have my own car, so I’m able to travel locally and further if needed. I also have a flexible work schedule with plenty of time off, which allows me to accommodate last minute bookings, work commitments, or care while you’re away on holiday. We live in a cosy ground floor apartment with large fields and parks just outside, perfect for plenty of safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I have flexible work schedule and lots of time off, so can fit in looking after your dogs and random times/when you need to be at work or out/on your holidays! We live in a cosy ground floor apartment and just outside we have huge fields and parks where we can go on lots of walks 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: 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.

“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!”
“Couldn’t have been happier with the service that Lauren offered. I needed some last minute care for our Whippet and Lauren was the first person I messaged on Rover and I’m so glad I did! She was more than happy to pre-meet with Rue, ahead of our booking, so that Rue could familiarise herself with Lauren but safe to say that there were absolutely no issues there and Rue loved her from the get go! Will definitely be booking with Lauren again 🐾”
About: Hello! I'm Emma and I'm very pleased to meet you. I look forward to hearing more about you and your pets and what I can do for you! Bit about me!: I have had pets (aka furry side kicks!) my entire life and wouldn't have it any other way! In that sense I am very well-versed in the daily needs of dogs and cats and am not phased by any 'surprise' presents either. I have spent hours upon hours on hikes in the country with dogs and cuddled up on the sofa with dogs+cats - my absolute favourite places to be. Additionally, the majority of my family pets have been rescue animals, so I always remain conscious of the specific history or needs of any pets I meet, to ensure my approach to caring for them is tailored accordingly, for minimal stress and maximum waggy tails! Currently I own a handsome 7-year-old cat and then frequently visit and look after my parents' 2-year-old dog and 13-year-old cat, whom I very much class as 'my own!' They are quite the bunch of personalities and supply hours of entertainment - much to my delight. Our pets are our family and I understand how hard it is to leave them. I would be thrilled to look after your pets however you need and you can rest assured they would be loved as much as if they were my own! Please do get in touch :) I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5:30 so I am flexible to whatever you may need, including: 1. Pop-ins or dog walking before 8:30am, between 12-2pm and after 6pm 2. All-day house sit if I can work from your home 3. Overnight stays I love to go out for walks during my lunch break, and would always love some furry company! Just let me know if you have a preferred walking area too and I'd be happy to explore. I am mostly available during the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, but would be open to discussing weekend trips if I am free :) Whilst at your home or out for a walk as appropriate, I would ensure that: 1. Your pet is in my sight at all times 2. Your pet's water and food (if relevant) bowl is at the right level 3. Your pet gets play time with their favourite toy! 4. Your pet's discipline routine is upheld. 5. Your dog is kept on the lead around other dogs, until it is clear everyone is safe to say hello. 6. Any 'surprises' are cleared up 7. Any muddy paws are washed 8. Lots of cuddles are given! 9. Pictures/updates are taken and sent! 10. Any special request you have is adhered to precisely, for your own peace of mind and for your pet's optimal health and wellbeing 11. Any emergency numbers (yours or your vets) are nearby and accessible.

I ensure your dog stays relaxed in their environment or in a cozy, loving space. Regular updates, photos, and open communication mean you’ll always know how your pup is doing. Let me treat your dog like family while you're away! I currently work Monday to Friday, 7:30-4:30 with an hour lunch, however my work is very flexible with out of work responsibilities so they would be very understand and lenient with any commitments I have, so it will suit the needs of any dogs I look after I have a fenced garden, however I most likely prefer to house sit where your furry friend is more comfortable. I also have 2 big dogs and a cat so my house would be even more busy!
“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.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lucy. Lara stayed with her for three weeks, and from start to finish we felt completely confident that she was in safe, caring hands. Lara was so well looked after and clearly had an amazing time — especially playing with the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing she wasn’t just being “watched,” but was actually having fun, staying active, and socializing every day. She truly seemed to feel at home, which meant everything to us. We especially appreciated the regular updates, messages, and photos Lucy sent throughout her stay. They gave us so much reassurance and allowed us to fully relax while we were away, knowing Lara was happy and settled. We’re incredibly happy with the service Lucy provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter. We will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future!”
“Norris loved his stay! He was a bit scared of the husky’s at first, but he settled really quickly then had a great time! He loved how active the house was, and he’s come home for a rest 😄”
About: I have had doggies most of my life, they are my world, my children. I currently have 2 wonderful special rescue's Aspin and Odi. I have looked after many doggies since i have had them and haven't had any problems at all, as i have baby gates and experience with slow gentle introduction so all fluffs are safe and happy. My garden is large and beautiful, with trees and bushes to get lost in dig and have mad zoomies. I have a pool that they can dip into when it gets warm. There is 2 lovely large fields within walking distance and the beautiful Tilgate Park and forest which we use often. From the time you drop them off to when you pick them up, they will be showered with kisses and cuddles, they will be allowed to have sofa cuddles and snuggles at night in bed. I will send you lots of pictures and videos while your away to make you smile, they will be part of our family, staying in a calm quiet space. The doggies are i hope to hear from you. I work from home so I will always be with your beloved animal. ♥️ if I do go out it would be for very small amount of time or they will be accompanying me but I will generally clear my schedule when I have an animal come to stay My garden is large and very established lots of adventures to be had. Fields and parks are very local so lots to sniff and explore.
“We have never left Benji with anyone who isn’t immediate family before, so it was very nerve wracking! But I feel so lucky to have discovered Pitcha, she sends so many wonderful updates and treated Benji like her own dog. He had company 24/7 and she was so gentle with him (he’s an emotional baby). It’s so wonderful to have found Pitcha and to know she loves your dog just as you would! I couldn’t recommend her more - 10/10! ❤️🥰”
“Candi looked after our miniature dachshund puppy Zeus for 2 days whilst we were having our wedding, and it’s safe to say he had an absolute blast with Candi and her friendly Dogs, we felt awful taking him away as he enjoyed it that much, thanks again Candi for helping us at such short notice and for being so accommodating for our puppy”
“Germaine was brilliant - she’ll stepped up at super short notice to help with my dog Frenchie. Great communication throughout and picked up a calm and happy dog. Really appreciated and highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Craig and his family are lovely and took such good care of Herbert. We received great communication with photos and videos showing him having a good time. He was taken on long walks and seems to have had a wonderful time playing with Piper. Our only concern was that Herbert wouldn’t want to come home!”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Carly and her lovely family. I contacted her at short notice to request an overnight stay for my French Bulldog. Communication was excellent - Carly sent message/photo updates to put my mind at rest. Lovely to now have a local, trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you Carly and family 💗”
“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! :)”
“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”
“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!”
“Taleb is amazing with Jango!! He takes such good care of him and has a special energy that makes Jango love him and feel at ease. Jango has adapted very well to Taleb's family (they are lovely) and gets all the exercise, cuddles and treats that he needs. I can recommend him 100%!!!”
“Amanda looked after my dog, Toby, for a week and everything went really smoothly. Toby seemed to have a lot of fun and get a lot of attention from her and her family. I would highly recommend Amanda as a dog sitter to anyone. She knows what she's doing and was very friendly and professional throughout, giving me regular updates during the week. I'm already planning on using her services again soon.”

“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”
“Georgina provided a wonderful home away from home for our cockapoo Bailey whilst we were on holiday. He settled with her so well and we returned to a happy well cared for dog. Georgina was super prompt with messaging, and general communication prior to Bailey’s stay, and kept in regular contact whilst we were away, sending photos and videos, which was so reassuring for us. I will definitely use Georgina again, and can’t recommend her enough. We feel lucky to have found her!”
