“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!”
“Patrycja did a fantastic job looking after Cooper overnight for me. She sent videos and frequent updates which was great. Cooper was clearly well looked after and had lots of fun. I hope to bring Cooper back to Patrycja soon!”
“I have made the best decision leaving my little teenage Italian greyhound with Philippa. Not only did she ensure he had the most fantastic time, she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable. She really listened to my needs and instructions as well as sending me regular updates on his journey. I trust her with my dog and will be going to her in the future. She also took him out for adventurous walks and gave him cuddles.”
“Holly and family welcomed Milo into their home and daily life as if he was their own. He was treated to so many outings and treats I don’t think he wanted to come home! Holly provided a very safe and loving environment for Milo. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving Milo in her care and will be booking again soon 😊. X”
“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!”
“Angela was so amazing! Our dog Burt had a lovely time and seemed very happy with his walks and cuddles. I knew he was having a wonderful visit while we were away. Would highly recommend Angela!”
“Our dog Mac is very anxious, but Angus proved to be the perfect person to look after him. Together with Zoe, he looked after Mac with great patience and calmness and kept us really well informed about how Mac was settling in. Can’t recommend Angus highly enough and will be returning to him with Mac soon.”
“Ellie took our last minute booking and was super accommodating with our schedule changes. She took great care of our dog who was nervous about staying at a new place but settled in and made the most of the incredible woods to run in!”
About: I have had dogs in the past, in the family home, from when I was 11, small, medium and large! I would love a dog now but unfortunately I cannot financially commit to one at the moment. I have a daughter who is 7 and also loves animals, she is so kind and gentle. She is constantly asking dog owners if she can say hello to their dogs and making lots of new furry friends. We have looked after our neighbours, friends and my sisters dog. I work from home most weekdays, days off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I Love animals, the outdoors and keeping fit and healthy. Be lovely to help others and give your dog some company, love and walks / runs! 🐾 ❤️ I mainly work from home Monday to Thursday 8.30-4pm, go to the office a couple of times a month. So I could give your dog some company from my home, and walks on my break/s. Or if local I can pop over to see to your dog or take them out. I am off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy going for slow or fast, short or long walks and runs, so can provide the exercise your dog requires. I have a fenced back garden for outside safe space, with no entry to the back, and I am not on a main road (front or back).
“Carly and her family were so lovely. They looked after Remy and settled him well and were very patient with him as he is a very nervous rescue dog. I was regularly updated and sent photos which i loved. I would book with Carly and her family again ❤️”
About: I've had dogs of all ages throughout my life, with varied healthcare needs; I know that all dogs are different, and you need to be led by them, especially when you dont know each other! Leaving a pet with a new person can nerve-wracking, but I'd give the peace of mind of your pooch being left with someone who really cares for their wellbeing. Very flexible working for home currently, so available to fit my routine around whatever the dogs need - can give very regular walks and toilet breaks, and keep an eye on them as much as is needed. I have a secure fenced garden, with plenty of space for them to have a run around. They'll have access to as much of the property as you'd like.
“Incredibly loving family. Our dog had the grearest time. Nelso is so attentive and treats our pup like his own. Best sitter we have ever had. We will 100% use them again.”
About: Wanting walkies just as much as your pooch! Promise to give all my love and attention to your fur baby as if he/she was my own. We live on a farm with loads of space but also have a fenced garden bit if needed. I work in an airy office on the farm which my dog hangs out with me in most days - your dog can too! I do have a cat at home but he keeps himself to himself and won’t mind a house guest. Also willing to pet sit any of your other furry friends at mine or yours, birds, hamsters, rabbits etc Friendly, outgoing, flexible, sensible, reliable, weekends, weekdays, evenings, morning, holiday. I work from my own office on the farm so am very flexible. My dog goes everywhere with me that includes to the office. We go out loads throughout the day for a change of scene (for both of us!) I have a fence garden so don’t have to be cooped up. Most of the day we will be walking around the farm, happy for this to be on a lead or running around off for playtime.
About: I've always loved dogs from a young age, after having our family Labrador from the age of 10. I've now got my own lovely rescue Clara, who's a senior, now with one eye and almost blind in her remaining eye. I'm very used to senior dog care and giving medications. I work from home during the week and look after my own senior dog so looking after dogs is second nature in my life. There will be plenty of time for walks during the day I provide a cosy, safe space for animals, understanding different needs and schedules. I understand what it's like leaving your beloved pet with someone else so I will communicate often with updates and photos.
About: I am very experienced with high energy dogs and training! I have had my own dogs since I was 3, 2 boxer dogs and a jack Russell. I now have 2 cocker spaniels and a cat. I walk them everyday and have a great home set up for dogs with toys and a good sized secure garden for playing. I am available at all times to care for the animals! I have 2 dogs of my own and my days work around them and getting in a good off lead, stimulating walk. I have a safe and secure garden, 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I walk everyday sometimes twice a day! the dogs are never left for longer than 2 hours at a time.
“My dog has had the happiest 2 weeks with Christine while I was away. Chris kept me updated with pics and messages, and on my return my dog looks incredibly well and very happy. We hatted o an hour and my dog wnet between the two of us, showing me how much she has loved being with Chris. I will DEFINITELY be using her again. I can't believe my luck finding such a wonderful dog minder, thank you Chris.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs and have had them by my side all through the years, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. I have my own dog now and understand how much they become part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply giving them the attention and reassurance they need, I love making sure every dog feels safe and loved. I know how important it is to leave your furry friend with someone you trust, and I’d love to help give them a fun, happy day while you’re away. I work from home three times a week, my job is flexible so I will have lots of time to give your dog lots of attention. I'm planning to cut my hours soon so will hopefully have even more time in the near future! I have a very secure fenced garden and large kitchen for the dogs to run around freely. I have a dog of my own a very friendly and sociable Dalmatian so he'll be able to play and keep your dog company.

“Kate looked after our elderly cat recently. She was professional, reliable and kept in contact throughout. My cat was clearly happy, well fed and well looked after. I thoroughly recommend Kate, she has a genuine love for animals and treated our cat as her own. We will definitely be using her again next time.”
About: I’ve had cats of my own and absolutely love their unique personalities and individual ways of showing affection. I’m happy to pop in for to feed your cat, refresh their water, clean their litter tray and, most importantly, give them some company and cuddles if they’re up for it. I’m patient and respectful of each cats personality, whether they’re playful and affectionate or prefer a little more space.
About: I’ve cared for many cats over the years, both my own and those of close friends while they’ve been away on holiday. I understand how important it is to know your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I was lucky enough to share my home with three cats of my own, with my eldest living to the wonderful age of 17 before illness eventually took its toll. Caring for her through every stage of life — from playful adulthood to his senior years — gave me a deep understanding of feline behaviour, health changes, and the gentle patience older cats need. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet lap and routine, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to their personality, always treating them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have been caring for them for over 10 years. I understand their unique personalities, from shy rescues to playful kittens. I have the knowledge to provide a calm, enriching environment, keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of affection, so you can relax knowing your cat is in loving, capable 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!”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was a teenager, regularly helping neighbours and friends with feeding, playtime and check‑ins. I also took in an abandoned kitten and raised it as my own for years, which gave me experience with young cats, building trust and understanding their routines and personalities. I’m confident with shy cats, affectionate cats and independent ones, and always make sure they feel safe, calm and well looked after.
About: Hello! I am a passionate, Crawley-based cat care specialist dedicated to providing the highest standard of safety, comfort, and love for your feline family members. Cats are my absolute world, and I am currently focusing on growing my part-time cat sitting services into a full-time career. Because I manage a flexible part-time schedule, I am highly adaptable and available at short notice for drop-in visits—whether you have an unexpected late day at work, a weekend getaway, or an upcoming holiday. My Feline Care Experience My journey with animal care began when I was 13 years old, and over the last decade, cats have become my core passion and specialty. I am the proud owner of a wonderful 11-year-old senior cat. Caring for her throughout her journey into her golden years has given me deep, firsthand knowledge of senior feline behavior, specialized routines, and how to closely monitor subtle signs of health or comfort changes. In addition to caring for my own senior cat, I am the designated caregiver for my family's cats (and dogs) whenever my mum goes away on holiday. This hands-on experience has taught me how to read feline body language accurately, respect their personal boundaries, and gently win over even the most independent or timid cats. I understand that every cat has a distinct personality—some thrive on interactive play and affection, while others prefer a quiet, predictable environment with a reassuring check-in. Safety & Peace of Mind: First Aid Certified Your cat’s safety and health are my absolute priorities when entering your home. To ensure your pets are in the absolute safest hands possible, I hold a formal certificate in Animal First Aid and CPR. I know exactly how to recognise early indicators of distress, monitor vital health signs, and act swiftly and calmly in any unexpected medical situation. What I Offer During Every Drop-In Visit: * Fresh food and water refreshes tailored strictly to your feeding instructions. * Detailed litter box scooping, cleanup, and area tidying. * Engaging playtime with favorite toys or calm, gentle companionship. * Real-time updates, visit notes, and high-quality photo check-ins after every single visit. I treat every cat in my care with the exact same devotion, respect, and vigilance that I give to my own beloved senior cat. I look forward to meeting you and your feline companions during a free initial Meet and Greet!

About: I always lived with dogs and cats. I love them with all my heart and I can even say that they are my passion. They are our best friends. I am working from home, so I can take care of your dog during the whole day, I also have my 5 years old dog who loves walks in the forest of East Grinstead so your dog would be perfectly happy to join us ! I have a big secured garden that my dog loves, he has everything he needs but I like to take care of his food too, not too many treats :)
About: I have had dogs in the past, in the family home, from when I was 11, small, medium and large! I would love a dog now but unfortunately I cannot financially commit to one at the moment.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and today our home is happily shared with our much-loved 17-year-old cat and our gentle 18-month-old English Pointer. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do – it’s part of who I am. This is a true family effort – my husband and our two children (aged 12 and 13) are just as animal-mad as I am. Together, we provide a warm, friendly, and reliable environment where your pets will feel loved, safe, and cared for just like they’re part of our family. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, playtime in the garden, or gentle companionship for older pets, we treat every cat and dog with the same affection and attention we give our own. You can relax knowing your furry family members are in experienced, caring hands. Both my husband and I work from home full time and so are on hand to look after your pet 24/7. We have a Pointer so we’re out walking him at least 2-3 times a day either in a secure field or in the woods behind our house. Please let me know if you have any questions or specific needs as I can tailor my schedule around your pet. I have a secure garden and at night the animals are in the lounge/ kitchen diner. Can crate them if needed. We have a detached family home with lots of space to run around and play!
About: Hi, I love getting out and about and going on long woodland or forest walks with a furry friend. I weekly help look after my sisters cocker spaniel and he stays with me occasionally when she needs overnight care for him. Would love a dog of my own but I work to much at the moment, so I’d love to help look after others. I’m a self employed hairdresser, I work 9-5 most days but can be flexible to help look after your fury friend as I work for myself. When those quiet months come along I can up the days that I can do boarding or walks etc so it’s always worth asking me for extra days and I can see if it fits in around my working schedule. I always have Wednesdays off and Sundays so these days are guaranteed for pet care. My garden is fully fenced in so there absolutely no chance you’re fury friend can make a break for it. I keep my home and garden very tidy and make sure i leave nothing in the floors to harm your pets.
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. My work hours vary day to day and week to week, but I have a generous amount of days off spread across both weekdays and weekends. 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.
“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 💕”
“Daria and her lovely furry companions did a great job at making Nero feel welcome whilst I was attending a local garden party. Daria was very responsive and sent photos of Nero enjoying playing with her other 2 pups. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
About: I've always loved dogs from a young age, after having our family Labrador from the age of 10. I've now got my own lovely rescue Clara, who's a senior, now with one eye and almost blind in her remaining eye. I'm very used to senior dog care and giving medications. I work from home during the week and look after my own senior dog so looking after dogs is second nature in my life. There will be plenty of time for walks during the day I provide a cosy, safe space for animals, understanding different needs and schedules. I understand what it's like leaving your beloved pet with someone else so I will communicate often with updates and photos.
“Brittany took such great care of Oscar! She sent regular pictures and updates, and it was clear that he got really comfortable with her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
About: My husband (Matt) and I have both grown up with various animals from fish, hamsters and birds.... to cats, dogs and farm animals. We have plenty of experience of looking after dogs owned by family members whilst they go on holidays or out for a day etc. We will of course follow your dogs house rules and welcome a copy of their routine to enable us to take care of your pet in as much of the same way as you would. Matt and I are happy to answer any questions and happy to keep in touch regularly whilst your pet stays with us. Hello, we are Kayleigh and Matt 😊 I am at home full time, my husband Matt usually works Monday to Friday but is due to start adoption leave in October so he will assist in helping with care for a few months. We have 3 very caring calm teenage daughters at home and a 6 year old son who is at school, all of which are super dog fans. I am home pretty much 24/7. We have no regular weekend commitments either so are able to take care of your beloved doggies with our full hearts and attention. Any questions then give us a call on one of the 2 numbers provided or send us a message 🐾 Our home is a bungalow nestled away down a country lane away from busy roads and streets and we also have a vast amount of outdoor space.... a large enclosed garden and 12 acres of privately owned land. The land includes a fair sized shallow pond for your dog to enjoy if they like a swim (under supervision of course) This is a loving pet friendly family home consisting of 4 children aged 6-16 years old. We are a fun, active caring family who have been fostering children for 4 years although this chapter of our lives has come to an end due to the adoption of our son. We currently only have 1 hamster within the house with us so no need to worry if your dog isn't keen on other pets. Your doggy will be welcomed into our house to make itself at home where they can enjoy the bright and airy kitchen and the comfy living room. Both myself and husband grew up with a variety of animals and have owned small pets throughout our lives. We have plenty of experience in recent years of dog sitting various family members pets, all of which have had a pawsome time 🐾 Pets must be child friendly.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve really enjoyed the experience of raising and training my own dog from an 8-week-old puppy. Seeing her grow into the happy, well-trained dog she is today has been incredibly rewarding. A few years ago, I offered pet-sitting services on Rover and absolutely loved meeting so many wonderful dogs. I’m now looking forward to welcoming dogs into our home again and giving them a fun, relaxed and loving home-from-home experience. We live in a peaceful countryside setting with beautiful walks right from our doorstep. Most importantly, we have a private, secure 3-acre field where visiting dogs can safely run, explore and play. I previously offered pet-sitting services on Rover, but took a break while my children were young. Now that they are slightly older, I am excited to return to dog care! I work part-time in a school, which gives me excellent, predictable availability: Wednesdays: Fully free for dedicated dog walking and daycare services. Weekends: Available for overnight dog sitting and boarding. School Holidays: Open for longer, multi-day stays and extended bookings. Your dog will enjoy a true country retreat with us, including direct access to our private, secure 3-acre field. Our home is a welcoming countryside haven where your dog will be treated exactly like one of the family. This is the perfect spot for dogs who enjoy the company of other furry friends and gentle children. We have a friendly, laid-back Chocolate Lab and three children (aged 8 to 13) who have grown up around animals and are taught to be highly respectful of dogs' boundaries. Safety and space are our top priorities: Secure Garden: Completely fenced and safe for potty breaks. 3-Acre Private Field: Direct access to a fully secure, private field for off-lead running and playtime. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home for a fun, safe, and loving stay!
“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: Me and my wife Zoe have been caring for dogs for over 15 years. I started looking after family dogs as a teenager and later assisted my sister with her dog-sitting business before moving to Edenbridge. I have extensive experience with dogs that are reactive or aggressive towards others, as well as those with specific medical or dietary needs. I also understand the importance of providing extra care and attention — whether that means gentle reassurance, plenty of strokes, or a good cuddle! I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company — they’re welcome to sit with me in the office while I work. To keep things running smoothly, I usually ask that weekday drop-offs and pick-ups are before 10am, between 12–2pm, or after 5pm, but I can be flexible if you need different times. We have a fenced off garden with a decent sized lawn, as well as easy access to the local park, and large golf course for dogs who need longer walks.
“Missy had a great stay with Carly and her lovely family. She came back home relaxed and totally chilled after her stay.Lots of photo updates throughout her stay. Would highly recommend Carly”

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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - East Grinstead
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: We’re a large, friendly family with 4 children and our fluffy Cavapoo, Arlo, aged 3.5. He loves to have a playmate! Philippa works from home and Elisa is a teacher so we’re both around during school holidays. Large house and secure garden, big enough to run around in. We live on the Worth Way, East Grinstead, so 3-5 mile countryside walks are on our doorstep, and part of our daily routine. Can also accommodate shorter walks for dogs who need less exercise than Arlo! Our children split their time between us and their other parents, so there are days when we have an adult-only house if your dog prefers grown-up company. Philippa works flexibility from home with regular breaks for dog-care during the day. Depending on daylight and weather, each day includes a 3-5 mile walk and plenty of free time for dogs in the garden. Our dog sits at Philippa’s feet while she working, and other dogs are free to do the same, or find a comfy spot elsewhere downstairs. School runs between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells: between 7.15 and 8.30am, and 3.30 and 5.30 can be used to collect/drop off other dogs if the location works. Weekends are busy with children’s hobbies but an adult is usually at home and we’re happy to take other dogs out with us where we can. Arlo enjoys the company of other dogs. We have a secure back garden and astro turf so that dogs (and kids) can enjoy the garden all year round - mud free! Arlo sleeps in an open crate downstairs in the office overnight, but we can accommodate other dogs’ sleeping preferences, although we would prefer not to have them in our bedroom. We have an internal front porch, which means we can open the front door without worrying about Arlo and other dogs escaping on to the main road. Arlo is walked both on and off the lead, but we would follow owners’ wishes about walking. While our children might be present while we take care of your dog, they won’t be responsible for your dog’s care.
About: I always lived with dogs and cats. I love them with all my heart and I can even say that they are my passion. They are our best friends. I am working from home, so I can take care of your dog during the whole day, I also have my 5 years old dog who loves walks in the forest of East Grinstead so your dog would be perfectly happy to join us ! I have a big secured garden that my dog loves, he has everything he needs but I like to take care of his food too, not too many treats :)
About: Hi, I love getting out and about and going on long woodland or forest walks with a furry friend. I weekly help look after my sisters cocker spaniel and he stays with me occasionally when she needs overnight care for him. Would love a dog of my own but I work to much at the moment, so I’d love to help look after others. I’m a self employed hairdresser, I work 9-5 most days but can be flexible to help look after your fury friend as I work for myself. When those quiet months come along I can up the days that I can do boarding or walks etc so it’s always worth asking me for extra days and I can see if it fits in around my working schedule. I always have Wednesdays off and Sundays so these days are guaranteed for pet care. My garden is fully fenced in so there absolutely no chance you’re fury friend can make a break for it. I keep my home and garden very tidy and make sure i leave nothing in the floors to harm your pets.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets, and over the years, I’ve developed a real understanding of their needs, personalities, and quirks. As a pet sitter, I’d bring patience, reliability, and a lot of affection, ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. (I also have experience with horses if this was an extra service people would need) I’m currently unemployed so am available at any time, on any day of the week. I’m willing to dedicate all of my time towards pet sitting, including on the weekends! Safety is my top priority. I’ll always ensure that the environment is secure, familiar, and pet proofed, making sure there’s no hazards. I’ll also be willing to stick to your pets normal routine, and stay in constant communication with you, so you know your pets are safe and happy at all times!
About: I have had dogs in the past, in the family home, from when I was 11, small, medium and large! I would love a dog now but unfortunately I cannot financially commit to one at the moment. I have a daughter who is 7 and also loves animals, she is so kind and gentle. She is constantly asking dog owners if she can say hello to their dogs and making lots of new furry friends. We have looked after our neighbours, friends and my sisters dog. I work from home most weekdays, days off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I Love animals, the outdoors and keeping fit and healthy. Be lovely to help others and give your dog some company, love and walks / runs! 🐾 ❤️ I mainly work from home Monday to Thursday 8.30-4pm, go to the office a couple of times a month. So I could give your dog some company from my home, and walks on my break/s. Or if local I can pop over to see to your dog or take them out. I am off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy going for slow or fast, short or long walks and runs, so can provide the exercise your dog requires. I have a fenced back garden for outside safe space, with no entry to the back, and I am not on a main road (front or back).
About: I've always loved dogs from a young age, after having our family Labrador from the age of 10. I've now got my own lovely rescue Clara, who's a senior, now with one eye and almost blind in her remaining eye. I'm very used to senior dog care and giving medications. I work from home during the week and look after my own senior dog so looking after dogs is second nature in my life. There will be plenty of time for walks during the day I provide a cosy, safe space for animals, understanding different needs and schedules. I understand what it's like leaving your beloved pet with someone else so I will communicate often with updates and photos.
“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.”
About: I am very experienced with high energy dogs and training! I have had my own dogs since I was 3, 2 boxer dogs and a jack Russell. I now have 2 cocker spaniels and a cat. I walk them everyday and have a great home set up for dogs with toys and a good sized secure garden for playing. I am available at all times to care for the animals! I have 2 dogs of my own and my days work around them and getting in a good off lead, stimulating walk. I have a safe and secure garden, 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I walk everyday sometimes twice a day! the dogs are never left for longer than 2 hours at a time.
About: I have had dogs through my whole upbringing, I’ve had Staffordshire bull terriers throughout my childhood and a staff cross whippet family dog, which is now very old and I give her short walks and her medicine at set times when my parents are away. I’ve been around French bulldogs, springers and have taken care of a chihuahua. I also have 2 dachshund cross jack Russell. I’m currently working Friday and Saturdays to set myself up, which then will be moving to full time. I am available to do drop ins, solo walks or 2 dogs per walk. If your dog is friendly with children I will bring my child with me to enjoy the walks and fresh air. I will ensure your pet is safe in your home and listen to what you have requested E.g. a specific room with door shut, food/water left out
About: I’m Helena, I'm 25 and a lifelong animal lover with years of professional pet sitting and dog walking experience in the UK and Australia. I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and birds, and I genuinely love the company of animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, including dogs with specific routines, behavioural quirks and medication needs. I know that every pet is different, so I always take the time to understand their individual personality, routine and what makes them feel happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company during the day, plenty of cuddles or simply someone reliable to keep them to their usual routine, I’m very happy to help. I now live in the UK with my partner, Jack, who is also a huge animal lover and has grown up around dogs and other animals. He has several years of experience pet sitting alongside me and, when available, is able to help with walks and pet care too. Between us, we have plenty of experience looking after pets and we absolutely adore having animals around! We’re friendly, reliable and respectful of your home, and we’ll always treat your pets as if they were our own. We’d love to meet you and your pets 🐾 Jack and I both work from home a couple of days each week, with some flexibility around our schedules for pet sitting. On those days, your dog will have plenty of company and attention, with a good lunchtime walk and lots of opportunities for cuddles and play throughout the day. At weekends, we’re completely free to spend time with your dog, whether that’s a relaxed day at home with plenty of cuddles, or heading out for a fun walk and an adventure together! We’re very happy to fit in with your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the care, exercise and attention they’re used to. We treat every dog as if it’s our own. We want every pet to feel happy and relaxed while they’re with us. If we are dog sitting in your home, we treat your home as we’d want ours to be treated - we will always be clean and respect your space. In our home, we have a fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy some fresh air and playtime. We’re experienced and comfortable caring for dogs with different routines, personalities and needs - just let us know!

“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!”
“Patrycja did a fantastic job looking after Cooper overnight for me. She sent videos and frequent updates which was great. Cooper was clearly well looked after and had lots of fun. I hope to bring Cooper back to Patrycja soon!”
“I have made the best decision leaving my little teenage Italian greyhound with Philippa. Not only did she ensure he had the most fantastic time, she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable. She really listened to my needs and instructions as well as sending me regular updates on his journey. I trust her with my dog and will be going to her in the future. She also took him out for adventurous walks and gave him cuddles.”
“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!”
“Our dog Mac is very anxious, but Angus proved to be the perfect person to look after him. Together with Zoe, he looked after Mac with great patience and calmness and kept us really well informed about how Mac was settling in. Can’t recommend Angus highly enough and will be returning to him with Mac soon.”

“Carly and her family were so lovely. They looked after Remy and settled him well and were very patient with him as he is a very nervous rescue dog. I was regularly updated and sent photos which i loved. I would book with Carly and her family again ❤️”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and today our home is happily shared with our much-loved 17-year-old cat and our gentle 18-month-old English Pointer. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do – it’s part of who I am. This is a true family effort – my husband and our two children (aged 12 and 13) are just as animal-mad as I am. Together, we provide a warm, friendly, and reliable environment where your pets will feel loved, safe, and cared for just like they’re part of our family. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, playtime in the garden, or gentle companionship for older pets, we treat every cat and dog with the same affection and attention we give our own. You can relax knowing your furry family members are in experienced, caring hands. Both my husband and I work from home full time and so are on hand to look after your pet 24/7. We have a Pointer so we’re out walking him at least 2-3 times a day either in a secure field or in the woods behind our house. Please let me know if you have any questions or specific needs as I can tailor my schedule around your pet. I have a secure garden and at night the animals are in the lounge/ kitchen diner. Can crate them if needed. We have a detached family home with lots of space to run around and play!

“Rachel and her fam immediately put us at ease leaving Barney with them for the first time. They are very welcoming and have a lovely home. We received photos throughout the stay, and Barney made a new best friend in Quin, they even shared a bed together:) When I picked him up he was happy, relaxed and had a good long nap. Rachel was also very flexible in extending the stay on short notice. Thank you Rachel and hope to see you soon! Therese”
“We had to shuffle the times we need dog sitting and Christy was very obliging. And our dog took to Christy and her partner almost instantly. Although she is not at the budget end of the price range, we felt relaxed and were kept informed. Shadow left in good spirits and Christy was very complimentary. An excellent dog sitter.”
“Lottie had a fantastic time with Ella and family, as well as with the lovely Georgie. Lots of lovely walks and cuddles. She came home a very happy girl. I would highly recommend Ella and will use her again. Thanks again Ella! Sarah Johnston”
“Incredibly loving family. Our dog had the grearest time. Nelso is so attentive and treats our pup like his own. Best sitter we have ever had. We will 100% use them again.”
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 🐶🐈
About: Wanting walkies just as much as your pooch! Promise to give all my love and attention to your fur baby as if he/she was my own. We live on a farm with loads of space but also have a fenced garden bit if needed. I work in an airy office on the farm which my dog hangs out with me in most days - your dog can too! I do have a cat at home but he keeps himself to himself and won’t mind a house guest. Also willing to pet sit any of your other furry friends at mine or yours, birds, hamsters, rabbits etc Friendly, outgoing, flexible, sensible, reliable, weekends, weekdays, evenings, morning, holiday. I work from my own office on the farm so am very flexible. My dog goes everywhere with me that includes to the office. We go out loads throughout the day for a change of scene (for both of us!) I have a fence garden so don’t have to be cooped up. Most of the day we will be walking around the farm, happy for this to be on a lead or running around off for playtime.
