“Kevin kept us updated throughout Dolly’s time with his family, sending photos. Dolly had the best time playing with the kids and was well looked after. Would highly recommend”
“Natalie was truly amazing. She was incredibly kind and very understanding throughout the entire time. She cared for my puppy as if it were her own, which gave me such peace of mind. Every day, she sent me photos and updates, keeping me reassured and informed about how my puppy was doing. When I opened Latte’s bag, I was touched to find a lovely card and a photo of my puppy, which was such a thoughtful and personal gesture. I will 100% be using Natalie again to look after my puppy and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Here’s a polished and corrected version of your review: --- Our puppy Harry is very small and still in training, but Fred kindly offered to look after him for two days. Fred is extremely friendly and flexible. He kept us updated with pictures of Harry, which really put our minds at ease. We never had to worry about our little pup while he was with Fred. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely incredible sit. It was a super last minute request on our part and these guys jumped at the challenge. Their communication was incredible, constant photos and videos so we were always confident Rocky was safe and happy. I couldn’t recommend anyone more. Thank you so much! Rocky will definitely be back for another sleepover.”
“Daria took care of our little dog over Easter. She was fantastic! Daria sent regular videos and photographs to let us know he was doing well - he came home very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again!”
“Very good service. Lovely family, instructions followed .In detail updates regarding my dog everyday with photos and videos. He looked very happy and settled. Will be bringing my dog back again.”
“Laura was amazing with Stwrling we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Being a younger dog only being a year old and full of energy Laura knew exactly how to handle him. We got plenty of updates throughout the day and were sent lots of photos and a video. We would highly recommend her. Once sterling has recovered from being neutered we will for sure do another trail”
“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”
“Clare looked after our dogs, Rocco and Lenny, for two weeks while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, Clare took the time to really understand both dogs, their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which immediately gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear throughout their stay that she genuinely bonded with them and treated them with so much care and attention. We really appreciated her thoughtful approach and the reassurance of knowing they were in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Clare to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again the next time we travel.”
“Wayne was fantastic with our dog Tyson, he was attentive to his needs and adapted around the May heat wave to looks after him. He also kept sent us pictures and kept us up to date regularly so we didn’t have to worry how he was doing - highly recommended!”
“I needed a dog sitter at very short notice and was a little nervous because it was Matty's first time staying somewhere else. He also has separation anxiety and so it was very important for me to find someone who wouldn't leave him alone and I could rely on someone always being with him. Ronnie and her family looked after Matty very lovingly, as if he was their own dog. A big bonus was the garden where Matty could run around and play. I received daily updates with photos and videos.”
“This is the 2nd time Dotty has stayed Anke and Dennis. She is very happy with this family and being kept up to date with pictures and videos is very reassuring Happy to leave Dotty any time in future”
“Absolutely pleased with the service from Nasselem. She gave frequent updates and Baxter was very happy. He enjoyed himself with Blue and didnt want come home. I would definitely recommend.”
“Jess is lovely, she came and collected Cookie, sent videos and photos of her day with Cookie. Cookie came home very contented, if not a little exhausted by all the fun she had with Jess and her 3 dogs. Highly recommend”
“Absolutely phenomenal service, throughly impressed by the level of professionalism, care and service provided. Undoubtedly we would rebook in the future and cannot thank Hanna enough for looking after our fur babies! Excellent service start to finish.”
“As soon we met Wendy, I knew I would be happy leaving Terrance with her. She looked after him really well and it sounds like he made himself at home during his stay, so he was obviously very comfortable there. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Jemma has been amazing looking after my little whiskey! I wouldn’t trust anyone else but her, she sends regular picture and always makes sure she updates you! Sending my dog to Jemma is the easiest thing I can do without any hesitation”
About: Brief overview🐾: I am a caring and reliable dog lover with experience training a dog as a therapy pet, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behaviour and calm, positive handling. I provide safe, enjoyable, and tailored walks to suit each dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. 🐾About dog walking/dog sitting🐶: A typical walk starts with collecting your dog from your home and transporting them in my secure, padded car. The seats are separated with soft dividers for your dog’s comfort, and each dog is safely secured using a harness attachment. We then head to a suitable park or walking area. On warmer days, I choose routes with plenty of shade and ensure your dog has regular water breaks. I walk a maximum of two dogs at a time. If your dog has good recall, we’ll enjoy off-lead play, such as fetch, where appropriate and with your permission. Alternatively, if you wish, I can help improve your dog’s recall using positive reinforcement. I use homemade cooked chicken as high-value training treats unless you advise me of any dietary requirements or allergies. While your dog is out enjoying their walk and learning new skills, I will send you regular, high-quality photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. After the walk, I will safely return your dog home. If you choose my dog-sitting service, I can also collect and return your dog. During their stay, your dog will enjoy a minimum of three long walks each day, three nutritious meals (following your feeding routine), plenty of healthy treats, and lots of play, enrichment, affection, and rest. About me🐾: have been caring for dogs, both privately and professionally, for as long as I can remember. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to work with dogs and do something I genuinely love. I regularly undertake training in pet care to continually develop my knowledge and skills. I have trained dogs for therapy and assistance work and always enjoy learning new techniques to provide the very best care. Previously, I worked for Photoshoots London, and I now combine my photography experience with my passion for dogs. During visits, I provide fun, high-quality photo updates, and as a small thank you for choosing my services, you’ll receive a complimentary yearly calendar featuring your beloved pet. I hope you choose myself to look after your beloved pets I can provide discounts for longer stays and for regular dog walks. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Gabriela 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a real priority, and I am fully dedicated to it. I am currently part-time studying, which gives me the flexibility and time to reliably commit to dog walking and pet care responsibilities. I am able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, including regular walks, home visits, and ensuring consistency for both pets and owners. I enjoy being active and organised, so I can easily balance my studies while providing dependable and attentive care for animals throughout the week. I always prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their home, routines, and preferences. I use calm, patient handling and positive reinforcement to help pets feel secure and comfortable. During walks, I keep dogs safe, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust care to suit each pet’s individual needs.

“Jude is a wonderful cat sitter, I can’t recommend her highly enough! She has looked after my cat twice now and she put my mind completely at ease both times. My cat can be a bit selective who she will be with, but she loves Jude and I always get videos of cuddles and purrs! Thank you Jude for taking such good care of her!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Ka Shuen’s amazing cat-sitting services! She was incredibly responsive, with super quick replies to all our messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Ka Shuen followed our detailed instructions flawlessly and was extremely thorough in her care and affection for our cat, Gatcha. She sent us frequent photo and written updates, so we always knew our boy was super happy and well-cared-for. Her professionalism and clear love for cats truly shines through her work and this sets her apart for us - she is one of the very best cat sitters we have ever had, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding cat care while you are away from home. Thank you so much, Ka Shuen. Gatcha can’t wait to see you again! Feel free to adjust as needed!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats most of my life as a pet owner but due to being in a flat I didn’t feel it was a great place to home a cat long term due to access in and out of property. It’s why I only offer short term stays for cats.
“Lena has been amazing, reliable and caring. I had no worries at all and she kept me informed with pictures. I would highly recommend for trusted, kind and outstanding care for your pet. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Grace and I’m a lifelong animal lover 🐾 Me and my partner Nick have both been around cats our whole lives and absolutely adore them. We’ve looked after cats for friends, family and neighbours for years, giving us experience with all sorts of personalities, from cats who want constant cuddles to those who’d rather pretend we don’t exist! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats, from cuddly lap cats to chaotic kittens I’ve helped raise myself, and I even spent time volunteering at a cat shelter, which only deepened my love for them. In December, we welcomed our own two kittens, Thor and Loki, into the family 🖤🤍 They keep us on our toes, make us laugh every day, and have made us even more obsessed with all things cat related. Whether your cat is shy, playful, mischievous, or just needs someone calm and caring while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away 📸💕

“Rudy has been going to Kevin & Denise for a while whenever we need him taken care of for the day. This must be his sixth or seventh visit and he loves it. We feel totally at ease, get plenty of updates thought the day and have peace of mind knowing Rudy will be well loved. Thanks again.”
“Natalia was absolutely amazing. It was my first time leaving my 14-week-old puppy with anyone, so I was a little nervous, but after meeting her and seeing how she was with him, I knew I’d made the right choice. From the meet-and-greet to the actual day, she made me feel completely comfortable. On the day itself, Natalia sent lots of photos and videos, took him out for walks, and gave him so much love. I think we’ve found a match made in heaven!”
“Lovely caring service as usual. We are always happy to leave Winnie with this family. It is sometimes difficult for me to say exact pick up times due to the nature and location of my hospital appointments and this has never been a problem for them. Winnie is always well cared for and today was given Milo’s food which she loved, when she refused to eat her own. She is a very crafty dog haha! Thank you Maurice and Frederick, see you again soon”

“Daniel was brilliant and highly professional throughout. He responded promptly to messages and kept us updated with photos of our Levi. We would definitely recommend his services and will be using them again in the future.”
“First time ever leaving my energetic 7 month old springerdoodle. He adored Arpana from the moment he met her. I can’t tell you how happy he is as it’s seems he’s had a really great time..you can tell when he was leaving her he kept going up still for cuddles. He is so chilled and relaxed.. fast asleep within ten mins from his lovely fun day. Will def be going back to Arpana for anytime I need to have someone look out for Marvyn. Marvyn and I are vvv happy. Woof you! From Marvyn and Thank you from me. Fantastic fantastic fantastic !”

We are grateful to have found you and Milo cannot wait to return😊 thank you!”

About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes. Dogs give so much love voluntarily and deserve that back. I insist dogs are walked for a good few mikes daily unless medically incapable. I will ensure they are fed to your specification and will follow any behavioural instructions you may have in place to ensure continuity. I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated. I also have to collect my son from school on a Wednesday and every other Friday so the dog would need to be ok for a short period of time alone. I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.

About: We are not a business, we are a caring family that want to provide the same care and love to your pups that you do, and for that reason we do not take overlapping bookings from multiple people at the same time. So you can have the peace of minds that your dogs will be our sole focus for the duration of their stay in our home. We have a garden for them to play, and lots of green parks around us to take them for walks. If this approach appeals to you, please don’t hesitate to get in contact, we look forward to hearing from you. Since I am not working at the moment I can spend most of my time with your doggy, I give them my full attention and make sure they are not left alone at home. I have a good sized green garden with a fence. Since I have a baby and a dog at home, I made it extra safe for them. Also, since I only accept 1 booking at a time, your dog will not feel nervous of other dogs.
About: Hi there! We’re a friendly and reliable couple—Blake (working in finance) and Poppie (working in marketing)—and we’re both lucky enough to work from home full time. We’re lifelong animal lovers with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets. We’ve both grown up with family dogs and regularly care for the pets of friends and family. It’s something we genuinely enjoy—it brings us so much joy to have four-legged visitors in our home. While we don’t currently have a dog of our own (we’re planning to take that step when we move to a larger home soon), we treat every dog who stays with us like part of our family—with plenty of affection, playtime, love, and lots of tickles! Because we both work from home with flexible hours, your dog will have constant companionship throughout the day. We’re always around for cuddles, supervision, and play, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. We take dogs out every couple of hours for toilet breaks, and they’ll enjoy longer walks during the day for exercise, stimulation, and fresh air—whatever suits their energy levels and personality. Whether your dog is active or prefers a more relaxed pace, we’ll adapt our day to make sure they feel happy and content. We live in a cosy, dog-friendly flat in a safe neighbourhood, surrounded by great walking routes and green spaces. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priority. We’ll make sure your dog feels right at home—whether that means curling up by our desks, playing with their favourite toy, or stretching their legs on a scenic walk. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pup is in loving, capable hands. We can’t wait to welcome your furry friend into our home! 🐶

About: I’ve been working at a dog rescue for the past five years, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to nervous or reactive dogs, and I always prioritise their safety, wellbeing and individual needs. Reactive dogs have a special place in my heart, and I love taking the time to build trust, understand their behaviour, and help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work at a dog rescue Monday to Friday from 9am–1pm, as well as the occasional pub shift, so my availability can vary. If you’re looking to book a walk or drop-in visit, feel free to send me a message with the dates and times you need, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you. I’m happy to be as flexible as possible! I know every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine and what makes them happiest. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company during a drop-in visit, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and in safe hands. 🐾
“Wayne was incredibly supportive with our dog’s walks. Milo is a very energetic dog, being the golden retriever that he is, which requires someone who has experience with dogs and Wayne has clearly showed this. Even when other walkers struggled with Milo at times, Wayne was always someone who took matters upon himself and was very good at communicating with us and managed to work around things, whether that is taking our dog through different routes or telling us any problems Milo may face during the walk to sending us the cutest pics of Milo. We are very happy with the service and would definitely book again.”
About: I have an abundance of experience with animals! For the past 5 years, when i’m not at university I volunteer at a dog rescue centre every Saturday morning where I clean, care for and walk many dogs, ranging in age, breed and size. As well as this, I am studying veterinary medicine so have knowledge on how to care for your animals and exposure to many situations with a range of animals. Caring for animals really is my passion in life! I have vast experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, even reptiles! I am currently on study leave from university so I have the majority of my time to dedicate towards your pets and their needs ! I have a secure garden with a 6 foot fence. I live with a friendly dog and have a crate available if your dog requires one.
About: I am a huge animal person, and I love spending time with any and all dogs, even if that means picking up their poop. I have dogsat and boarded a hyper little cavapoo for nearly two years now, I took care of my own two cockapoos for nine years, and I would be honored to watch your dog for as long as you need. I work remotely from home with very flexible hours, so I can dedicate as much time as your dog needs to taking care of them, any day of the week. I can crate your dog, snuggle them through the night, or anything in between. Just tell me what their routine is, and I can accommodate it.

I always put each dog’s needs first so whatever is best for your dog is my main priority.

“Daria took care of our little dog over Easter. She was fantastic! Daria sent regular videos and photographs to let us know he was doing well - he came home very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again!”
“Laura was amazing with Stwrling we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Being a younger dog only being a year old and full of energy Laura knew exactly how to handle him. We got plenty of updates throughout the day and were sent lots of photos and a video. We would highly recommend her. Once sterling has recovered from being neutered we will for sure do another trail”

“Heather was lovely with our Kobe and took great care of him. She kept us updated with photos of him too, which was appreciated so we knew he was having a good time and being spoilt!”
“Jacqueline is incredible. She has looked after my young puppy; Reba twice now (once during the day and once overnight), and I couldn’t be happier with how well she’s been cared for. On both occasions Reba has come home super happy and knackered after having so much fun with Jacqueline and her lovely family. I particularly love the pics I receive during the day of Reba exploring, learning and having a ball ❤️ Jacqueline is a dream to deal with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of some extra pup care.”
“Great dog care. Megan&Dan looked after our dog Baloo and they did a fantastic&professional job. They were very caring, loving and made him feel as part of the family. Baloo had a wonderful time and came back home looking well, relaxed and happy. Megan also kept in touch daily with fun little Baloo updates.

“Pak was a wonderful host for Lily. It was the first time we used a professional dog sitter let alone boarding, as she usually stays with friends and family when we have to travel without her, but was unable to on this occasion. I was anxious given it was the first time and Lily can be a bit needy if you're not used to her but Pak was very communicative and responsive, gave daily photo and video updates on how Lily was doing and put me completely at ease that she was in good hands while we were away. We had an initial meeting to ensure our dogs got on, I was able to see Lily was comfortable around Pak as well and him with her before the drop off date which was really helpful and I appreciated. Him and his partner have a lovely place to house dogs from what I could see, plenty of space in the front room and garden, both were very attentive. I would highly recommend and book with them again in the future.”
“Perfect holiday for our little one! He had so much fun and made himself a girlfriend while he was there 😂. He had brilliant care and ensured my family could trust her with our sweet baby. The pictures were amazing and really helped us (particularly me!) when missing him. He had 5 days of fun, freedom and a break from us 😂”
“As always, milo was carefully cared for by Gabriella. She kept me updated throughout his stay and paid special attention to him as he was feeling poorly prior to drop off. He had a blast with the other dogs she was looking after, which is always lovely to see. Thanks again!”
About: Choosing the right boarding facility or dog walker or daycare for your dog is a difficult decision. I understand just how much your dog mean to you. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why when you book your dog in with me, you can be very confident about this - he/she is going to have a good time because here they are on holiday too - they will receive a high standard of dog care So…. Not just basic supervision. Not left to just “get on with it.” Our day care has been created to offer your dog the best experience ever. Your dog will enjoy facilities which include an enclosed fenced spacious garden, splash pools, sprinklers, a sandpit, a ball pit, and much more. We focus on - a calm, safe and clean home environment -security and safety with constant security cameras presence throughout the day and night - structured care - routines, behaviour, feeding & medication instructions - plenty handfuls of individual attention We care for dogs who experience • Age related issues • Allergies • Arthritis • Blindness • Deafness • Diabetes • Digestive Problems • Disabilities • Heart Disease • Kidney Disease • Nervous, shyness, Anxiety • Skin Problems I am experienced in - anxiety, reactivity, and safety - noticing small changes in a dog's behaviour - different dog breeds, different personalities, ages, sizes, needs. and rescue dogs - puppies, senior dogs, nervous dogs, strong breeds and dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. I understand the importance of clear communication and regular updates to owners (and replying to messages 5 minutes after you dropped off your doggo to check if he's ok) My name is Lenette Howard and I run a home-based pet care service offering dog boarding, daycare, dog walking and cat visits. It is important for us to get to know your dog, including their - routine - health needs - personality - separation anxiety if any - other behaviour - resource guarding behaviour - fears of fireworks, thunder, water, loud cars, motorbikes, people with beards, people wearing hats, people on bicycles, people just jogging minding their own business Because here with us, caring for your dog is not just about basic supervision. Our love and care and attention will feel familiar and it will feel safe. So do I talk to my dogs while they're here? I absolutely do! Some of them even learned how to spell whilst in my care just in case I try to avoid using the words W-A-L-K and T-R-E-A-T ! Day to day, my job is to keep the environment calm (they become experts in all things classical music) clean and not overcrowded. We have supervised play. We have rest time and we have regular toilet breaks. And sometimes irregular toilet breaks. Dogs wear a GPS tracker during walks and outdoor time. It just makes sense to do so and it adds peace of mind. For me my focus is simple: safe dogs, happy dogs, settled dogs and owners who feel confident leaving them with me. Pet care is my daily routine. Dogs are not left to just “get on with it.” Dogs in my care have regular toilet breaks, supervised garden time, walks, rest, play and individual attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, medication, sleep habits and owner instructions, so they feel safe, settled and properly cared for. Owners feel confident their dog is being properly looked after, not just watched. Safety and trust come first. Dogs in my home have supervised care, regular toilet breaks, a secure fenced garden, calm play and proper rest. Dogs wear a GPS tracker during walks and outdoor time for added peace of mind. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, behaviour notes and comfort needs. I keep the environment calm, clean, and not overcrowded. We have a constant security camera presence throughout the day and night. Dogs are supervised, introductions are handled carefully, and every pet gets proper attention. For visits in an owner’s home, I respect their home, their space, follow the pet’s normal routine, follow the owner’s instructions exactly, and make sure their pets feel safe, settled, comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
