About: Having grown up with dogs all my life, and 40 years of owning my own dogs, I can offer your dog a safe, caring and loving holiday. I have 2 Cocker Spaniels and have experience in training and breeding. I have recently retired from 40 years of being a staff nurse and now have the time to devote to caring for doggies.

I can offer long or short walks and am always down on Stokes Bay for walks with my dogs, come rain or shine. I have a fully enclosed fenced garden, With 2 Cocker Spaniels of my own. "Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure all hazardous items, foods, and small objects are kept safely out of reach, and dogs are always supervised during play and feeding times.l only accept a limited number of dogs at once so each pet gets individual attention and care. Walks are always done on-lead unless agreed otherwise and I follow each owner's instructions carefully regarding routines, diet, and medications. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m a retired dog lover living with my husband and our own friendly dog. As I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone and will be part of a calm, loving home. We’ve had dogs since 2006, and I volunteered as a dog walker for the RSPCA, so I’m confident with many breeds, reading body language, and supporting anxious dogs, including those with separation worries. We live close to the beach, and your dog will enjoy regular walks, often twice a day, plus time in our secure enclosed garden. Walks can be on or off lead, depending on your dog’s recall and your wishes. I offer a caring, structured environment with plenty of attention and affection. Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture, to help maintain consistency in our home. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I only accept neutered males and spayed females, and every booking starts with a meet and greet, to make sure we are the right fit. My aim is to provide a genuine home from home, where you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m at home full-time, so daycare and dog sitting fit easily into my everyday routine. With my own dog, I’m already out on regular walks often along the beach, and I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine. It means your dog gets attention throughout the day in a calm, consistent setting. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I offer a calm home environment with a secure garden, constant supervision, and a consistent routine. I generally only take one dog at a time. If you have two dogs that live together and need care, this can be discussed. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, with careful assessment before any off-lead time. Every stay starts with a meet and greet, to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed.
“John was great with Ramba. I was worried due to Ramba’s behavioural issues at home with us but apparently he was an angel John! John was happy to answer my messages while I was away and sent plenty of photo updates! We will definitely aim to have ramba stay with John in the future, and can tell Ramba was looked after very well 👌🏽🥰 thank you John”
“cookie enjoyed her stay and natalie's she loved every minute of it from the long walks to the late night cuddles will definitely be staying in contact with her and using her again in the future brilliant service and great price and always sent photos and sent me updates on how cookie was doing thank you so much lovely was an amazing time away and cookie also had an amazing mini holiday tooo ☺️”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog with Christos and Kyriacos. They are polite, responsible, and genuinely caring. I was regularly updated and sent plenty of photos of my dog enjoying his stay. They quickly won my dog over, who is picky about who he trusts, showing they made a real effort to connect with him. I could even tell he missed them when he returned home. I will definitely be reaching out to Christos and Kyriacos when I next need a sitter and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet sitting and peace of mind.”
“I’d definitely recommend Emma as a 5 star sitter and will definitely booking with her again. My dog Eric has just spent nearly 2 weeks with Emma whilst we’ve been on holiday and he’s definitely had a fabulous holiday of his own at her house. Emma kept me up to date with how Eric was getting on and also sent me lots of photos and videos of his adventures with her, her partner and her dog Willow. Eric and Willow got along so well and she’s very chilled with having another dog in her home, vying for her pawrents affections! Eric loves lots of attention, but generally more from humans and tends to be selective with his affection for other dogs, so it was lovely to see videos of him and Willow chasing each other and playing together and photos of them relaxing at home. I’m confident that Eric had a brilliant home from home holiday and Emma will definitely be my first choice of sitter”
“Sandy is a wonderful sitter and we feel totally reassured when we leave Margo and Dottie with her. She gives us daily updates and they go on some lovely walks, even in the heavy rain ! We are so pleased to have found her ! It’s so nice going on holiday knowing that your dogs are being well cared for. Thankyou xx”
“Oliwia Was excellent. She offered to meet up before hand. Was courteous& clear communication. Shared photos throughout the weekend. Max was clearly well looked after. Lots of walks, playtimes and swimming in the sea which he loves. Recommend Oliwia.”
“Angie and Murray saved us in an emergency after Charlie turned out to be too energetic for a dog we were due to stay with. They were fantastic and Charlie had the best time!”
About: My husband and I have always loved being around animals. We recently lost our beloved dog, Maya, who lived to the amazing age of 17. My husband adopted her when she was around 4 months old, and for the last 10 years we cared for her together. She was a huge part of our family, and we miss her every day. Over the years, we’ve also looked after many of our friends’ dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. We understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and we’re confident in recognising when they need attention, playtime, rest, or just a little extra comfort. We have a safe home with a secure garden where pets can relax and enjoy themselves. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will care for them as if they were their own, and that’s exactly how we would look after yours. We’d love to give your pet plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and company while you’re away. I’m normally a teacher, but I’m currently on my school holiday, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet will receive lots of attention, company, and regular care rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily adapt to their usual routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I always take the time to learn about their usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favourite toys, and any special requirements so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention and companionship. We also have a secure garden where dogs can enjoy time outside under supervision. I carefully make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety and wellbeing first.
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care.

Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols.

We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“All we ever ask is for someone we can trust with our boy. To send him home happy, healthy and well fed. Thank you for a great stay, we had wagging tails and he was so happy. Also really appreciated the photos and communication. Will definitely use again.”
“Both of my dogs love staying with Elspeth, and she treats them incredibly well. Always great with her communication, kind and caring with the dogs, she is also great at giving us ideas and tips that help us continue to training our puppy. We can’t ask for better and would highly recommend Elspeth.”

She did a introductory visit to meet the cats and find out where all their stuff was in the house too. Very professional and friendly throughout our experience with her. Thank you, Charlotte!”
About: I really love all animals , especially cats and I was never able to own a cat as my parents are allergic. All my life i have owned dogs and guinea pigs I have looked after my neighbours cats every-time they go on holiday and it’s my favourite time of the year. I also have a job at a pub where a cat walks around daily and i spend most my time making sure he’s okay and being treated with respect by the customers. I also make sure to care for my friends cat while she’s on trips . I pop in play with and feed her cat just to make sure he’s happy and entertained!
“Rhea was amazing as always! She looked after Pippi perfectly and gave us an update every day with photos and a little summary to let us know how she was getting on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rhea, she does a fab job every time she checks in on Pips for us ☺️”

About: I grew up with family pets and now I have my own furry family. I absolutely adore dogs and cats. I have 2 cats of my own. I live with my children in elson. I love long walks, in all weathers and I take pride in looking after animals. My children are at school/nursery during the week, except the baby who is with me 24/7. I have dogs that I walk on a regular basis once or twice a week depending on their booking. I am open to being flexible but I do need to work it round my schedule with childcare etc. We have a secure big garden with high fences and a secure gate. Access to the garden is easy as we have a sliding door.
About: Hiya I’m Keira! I’m a third year veterinary medicine student who utterly adores animals - especially dogs and cats. I have had my own dog for nearly 13 years and also have worked in a range of rescue centres, vets and other animal related places as part of my degree. I will treat your furry companion as if they are my own and leave you care free knowing your animal is in safe hands 🤍 I am at university so I’m term times, weekends are more suitable. However in my holidays (especially summer), I have plenty of free time to care for your companion. With each individual animal, it is about understanding how they work, what they feel comfortable with and knowing not two animals are the same. No matter whether it is my own pet or another individual - I ensure they are looked after to an incredibly high standard.

Always went the extra mile to make sure they were extra happy! I do work in the military so my days/weeks can change last minute. I do work 8-4 Monday through to Thursdays and till 12 on Fridays. I do try to keep my calendar up to date, but if you do have any questions regarding my availability and catering to you, just let me know and I can see what I can do! :) Please note, as of 01 September I will be based in Birmingham so there is a high possibility that I won’t be available. But I may be back on the odd weekend/leave periods. I have my own place and open to taking care of your pets in my home. I’m always polite and respectful of others homes. I have been asked in previous years to look after other pets, such as cats and rabbit.
“Paige stepped in to help us at the last moment on a bank holiday weekend after our plans fell apart. She met our dogs and they loved her. She went above and beyond for us all weekend. The dogs were so happy and therefore so were we. We asked so much of Paige and she delivered more than we could possibly have wished for. Thank you thank you Amazing job.”
About: I have been a proud dog owner since I was young. I currently have two dogs a greyhound and a collie. Both enjoy long walks and regular exercise. I enjoy teaching them some cool tricks and we visit some lovely places such as the beach, woods and local parks.I have taken care of puppies right through to elderly dogs and have experience with challenging and reactive dogs.

All dogs will be walked separately. I am flexible and can work from home a lot. I am able to offer short stays at present such as long weekends for day care or sitting depending on dates and preferences. Please bear in mind the house sitting hours schedule I currently work on is 8pm/9pm-8am/9am (distance dependent) and if you require an additional drop in visit/walk throughout the day time this will usually be mid/late afternoon for 30 minutes-1 hour before returning to your property in the evening to sit overnight. I do not offer 24/7 in the home during the day time when house sitting due to outside commitments but they will be exercised well and receive great interaction throughout. Please e sure this is the correct house sitting schedule for your pets before you book to avoid disappointment as I cannot guarantee I can remain in your home all day on a house sit without going out for a short while.

I do enjoy offering house sitting in your home subject to dates and needs of the pet.
About: It usually takes 10-15 minutes to feed my cats because they have different dietary needs and one won't eat unless I'm sat next to her. I also have a cat with diabetes so I'm used to following strict feeding routines (I also give him insulin every 12 hours but I'm not comfortable doing that for other cats). I know some cats take longer to eat than others so I'm happy to wait until they finish. I've had my cats ever since they were kittens and my oldest is 12. Their names are Ace, Rimuru, Peanut, and Toby! I rarely have commitments and I drive so I'll almost always be able to accept your request. I'm 28 years old, I enjoy painting and drawing and I like video games.
“Thank you Olivia for looking after Meeka and Buddy. Olivia done a great job looking after our 2, whilst we had a day out. Two drop in visits, one of which was to feed them and give Meeka her drugs. Olivia looked after them perfectly, exactly as planned and we returned to 2 happy dogs. Would definitely recommend ? thanks again Olivia,”
About: I have lots of experience with our purring buddies. I’ve given ln Insulin to my partner cat who had diabetes. Rescued cats with behavioural needs. I am calm and adaptable. I’ve been looking a couple of cats in my local area when they are on holiday.

“John was great with our nervous boy. He won him round with treats and understood he needed to give him time to get used to him. By the time I picked him up he had made himself very much at home. I’d have no hesitation leaving Joey with John again and we have booked him for 10 days boarding at the end of the month.”

About: Hello, I’m a part-time freelance Graphic Designer who works from home, but I very often find myself twiddling my thumbs during the day, so I have lots of spare time to care for your dogs! I’ve always been a huge lover of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I owned a very lovely, lively border collie, so have plenty of experience looking after and walking highly energetic and intelligent dogs that require lots of attention, play and exercise. I’ve also been part of another dog walking service for a few years and active on Rover for 5 years, so I have lots of experience looking after other people’s dogs and know how to make sure they are happy and at ease in a new and strange environment. I’m a very active and outdoor-loving person, so very happy to take dogs on long countryside walks as well as city strolls. I can be very flexible with bookings and hope to get in contact with owners on a long term basis. Hope to meet you and your pets soon! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pet, and love to take the time for a decent walk on the beach or in the woods so everyone gets lots of fresh air and exercise every day. I have a toddler in childcare three days a week (Tuesday to Thursday), so on these days I will need to factor in drop off and pick up. Otherwise my schedule is very flexible. I have a safe fenced garden with lots of plants and lawn for dogs to enjoy. My house is open plan so dogs will never feel shut off or left alone anywhere.
“Sandra now takes care of both of our dogs including Luca who is only 14 weeks old. Sandra applies a fantastic level of care for our dogs with regular photos and videos to put my mind at ease whilst I am work. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have grown up around pets, especially dogs. I have my own dog back home, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, helping friends, family, and neighbours with walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with their dogs. I also have a twin brother that loves dogs as much as I do, so your dog will always have someone giving them attention and keeping them busy. We have also volunteered at a dog shelter, where we helped care for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at university, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy alongside my studies. I’m patient, calm, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Your dog will have the best time with us and will feel like home around us, in a safe, cozy environment. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m currently studying at university, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day and evenings. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, playing, and keeping pets company. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s usual routine. I keep a clean, calm, and safe environment and make sure pets are always supervised, especially during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with kindness and patience, making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for. My brother and I can make sure every pet feels like home!
“Oliwia was absolutely amazing with Cleo. She was so thoughtful and caring and organised an early walk for Cleo due to the hot weather. Oliwia was also fantastic at communicating and sent me updates and lovely pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Oliwia.”
About: I’ve looked after pets for 23 years, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. I live with Gizmo the pug, my permanent shadow who’s convinced my bed belongs to both of us and two cats who think they run the house. Because of that, I’m used to juggling different temperaments, routines, and a lot of personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me for walking, feeding, meds, bath time, and keeping their pets calm and comfortable. I notice the small things, keep a steady routine, and treat every dog as if they’re part of my own slightly chaotic, very loved little crew. I’m currently a SAHDM (if you know you know). I was made redundant in November so for the foreseeable my life is solely pet focussed I keep things steady, predictable, and low-stress. In my home, pets settle into a calm routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of company. I have a large, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and Gizmo the pug usually acts as the welcoming committee. I manage introductions carefully so every animal feels comfortable. I supervise closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure each pet has its own quiet area to relax.
“Ella was amazing! Milo spent two days, Wednesday and Thursday, with Ella. On the second day he was super excited to see her again. I have never left Milo with anyone before and was very nervous about it, but Ella kept me updated throughout the day, which I thought was lovely! Would definitely recommend Ella and the care she provided for my very hectic puppy 🐶 We will definitely be booking with Ella again!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have personal experience caring for them. I currently have a chihuahua and have had a Bichon-Poodle mix (a Poochon ☺️) in the past for seven years, so I understand the energy levels and different needs of small-medium breeds. I know how important it is to make dogs feel safe, happy, and enriched, whether it’s a playful or calm walk. I’ll treat your dog like my own, making sure they’re comfortable and cared for every step of the way! I am currently taking a break from work to focus on creating a healthy work-life balance, this therefore gives me plenty of flexibility for dog care! I have the time to offer walks and quality care, whether it’s a regular routine or occasional walks when needed. I live in a flat and have a chihuahua that is less than a year old. My home is a calm and safe space and it’s lucky to have several large parks just a few minutes away, perfect for walks and playtime. There’s also a pet shop nearby so I can easily pick up anything needed.
About: I had a cat for 12 years and have a dog (cockapoo) who is 4 years old. I also have a cocker spaniel who is nearly 2 (he lives with my mum in a different property) I have such a massive love for all animals, especially dogs and am also a huge cat lover. I would love for nothing more than to help people out by doing something that I’ve always loved - caring for animals. Very skilled at caring for puppies/dogs, kittens/cats. Looking at my photos you can see my own dog Poppy the apricot Cockapoo, and a variety of other dogs that I am around quite frequently, as small as Dachshund or as big as a Doberman. I’m very flexible and will ensure all instructions or preferences from the owner are carried out. I think this is very important to ensure the pet is staying in the habits the owner would like. For example, not being allowed on beds if the owner is training the dog to not jump on beds. I am looking to provide services of dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays in the owners home. I can drive which makes me even more flexible, I can therefore drive pets to different walking destinations (only if the owner confirms this is okay - owner could provide a dog cage for the car if necessary). I will give my undivided attention to the pet and care for them as if they were my own. Overall I just love animals and would love to help people out! I work full time, but from home,!meaning I am able to come and look after your dog/cat during the week and be at home all day with them caring for them. I work from just a laptop so no set up required, just WiFi! In regards to dog walks I have an hour lunch and can do mornings or after work. I have had pets most of my life and know how important it is to make sure they are safe at all times. This mainly entails making sure they are in a safe environment e.g doors shut and keeping them in areas they are not able to just run out of.

About: I’ve had dogs (and other pets too!) since I was 2 years old. My family first rescued a tiny puppy called Benji, a little Yorkshire Terrier cross Border Terrier who lived to 18 years old! In 2017 we rescued our 9 year old Jeanie, a Jack Russel cross Corgi who was so full of character, a real little diva, who lived to 17 years old. Whilst I am currently a 2nd year university student studying Criminology, I often visit home where my parents own a lovely (not so little) Golden Labrador named Max, recently rescued at 2 years old - I love going home to take him on long walks in the woods and practice some training! I would love the opportunity to look after/walk your dog, and get to know some new breeds! I have a lot of availability whilst I’m here at university as I luckily don’t have to work, so typically I only have a couple one hour lectures a week - I can fit in walks or drop ins very easily around these ☺️ I live in a flat with my boyfriend of 2 years which unfortunately doesn’t have a garden area, however we do live very close to the beach and a large grassy area where I would walk your doggy :)
“Basil had a great time in Teodora’s care, we got regular updates and adorable photos. We ended up booking the following day as well! Basil was so tired when he came back after the lots of walks and playing fetch. 100% recommended her again!”
“Dogs were very happy after a full day with Pauline. it was a perfect way top ensure the dogs were looked after whilst we were doing sight seeing at 'non dog friendly' sights and gave them a rest after visiting many of hampshires sights. Apologies to Pauline if they got a bit excited and pulled too much, for little cavaliers, when they want, they seem to have a lot of strength.”
“Coral was such an amazing dog sitter. Both my dogs came back really happy after a great day, even Biggy my nervous boy settle quickly. So reassuring to have such the updates and adorable pictures. 100% recommend! 🥰”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dog owner myself, so I truly understand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need. I have a beagle of my own and hands-on experience working on training skills such as leash manners, basic commands, and reinforcing positive behaviours. Beagles can be curious, stubborn, and scent-driven, so I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need calm, patient guidance and extra attention on walks. I’m a caring, reliable sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, routines, and personalities—whether that’s supporting training, providing gentle care, or simply making sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule as I’m currently not working and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dog and household, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and unrushed care. I enjoy having the time to focus on each pet’s needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, exercised, and well looked after. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or theirs. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, walk preferences, and any special needs, and I provide plenty of attention, patience, and reassurance. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, well exercised, and cared for—just as they would be at home. I do not take other pets in my own home.
About: We do have a puppy so please, friendly dogs only who can handle having a puppy around. I have had many dogs and cats I've adopted over the years and have loved them all right up until their very end. I want to show all animals out there that they can have all the love in the world and I would love to help everyone show their babies they are loved I currently do not work so I am available 24/7 to look after as many babies as my lovely peers need! All times and all days are great for me I will play with all the toys I have at my disposal with the animals unless otherwise specified. I will make sure they have food and water available to them at all times. I plan to walk them every 90-120 minutes depending on age and breed. If there are any specific requirements I will swear by them as I am asked
About: I work part time on a 0 hour contract at a pub, meaning i get random points of time and days free. Sometimes i struggle to find things to do and i think feeding or playing with a pet would fill these spaces nicely before i go to university! Whether the pet needs a top up of food / water , play time to burn off some energy or cuddles to keep them company, i’m more than happy to help out with any cats or dogs!

About: Hiya I’m Keira! I’m a third year veterinary medicine student who utterly adores animals - especially dogs and cats. I have had my own dog for nearly 13 years and also have worked in a range of rescue centres, vets and other animal related places as part of my degree. I will treat your furry companion as if they are my own and leave you care free knowing your animal is in safe hands 🤍 I am at university so I’m term times, weekends are more suitable. However in my holidays (especially summer), I have plenty of free time to care for your companion. With each individual animal, it is about understanding how they work, what they feel comfortable with and knowing not two animals are the same. No matter whether it is my own pet or another individual - I ensure they are looked after to an incredibly high standard.
About: Me and my partner Ben, 25 & 28 have both had pets our whole lives. We have loads of free time in the day and would love to look after your pets! I also have an enhanced DBS. We have free time in the days and weekends, one of us can always be home, and we have so much free time for walks and playing! We have a fenced off back garden with plenty of space, and shade. Lots of space indoors, nice and secure. And a lovely walk nearby. The gates to the garden are padlocked, and the house is alarmed.
About: I have a 6 y.o German Shepard dog, love him to bits! I know how to treat big, working and serious dog breeds for sure. Love to train dogs some new tricks and go on long distance walks. My best achievement is a calm dog on the leash and without it 😌👏 My confidence grows each year, I’m not scared of challenges. I have a remote job with flexible schedule and I combine it very well with having a dog. I have plenty of time to keep the dog entertained and for 2-3 normal walks per day. I can be a stay in sitter, and would be OK with the rules of the dog owner’s house😌 The most important is comfort for dog and no stress
About: I have been a proud dog owner since I was young. I currently have two dogs a greyhound and a collie. Both enjoy long walks and regular exercise. I enjoy teaching them some cool tricks and we visit some lovely places such as the beach, woods and local parks.I have taken care of puppies right through to elderly dogs and have experience with challenging and reactive dogs. I work from home a lot and can accommodate around your needs. I spend a lot of time with my dogs and we have exercise everyday fitted into the daily routine I am happy to care for your pups with arrangement in advance. I can offer walks, feeds, daily checks, exercise, and overnight care- please note I offer a 15 min meet and greet at your home or locally if you are a new client to observe your pets where they are most comfortable and to discuss how you would like me to care for your pet and the duties you wish me to do. All dogs will be walked separately. I am flexible and can work from home a lot. I am able to offer short stays at present such as long weekends for day care or sitting depending on dates and preferences. Please bear in mind the house sitting hours schedule I currently work on is 8pm/9pm-8am/9am (distance dependent) and if you require an additional drop in visit/walk throughout the day time this will usually be mid/late afternoon for 30 minutes-1 hour before returning to your property in the evening to sit overnight. I do not offer 24/7 in the home during the day time when house sitting due to outside commitments but they will be exercised well and receive great interaction throughout. Please e sure this is the correct house sitting schedule for your pets before you book to avoid disappointment as I cannot guarantee I can remain in your home all day on a house sit without going out for a short while. Dependent on distance petrol/travel costs will be additional charge (usually 10 miles plus) I have a garden and have access to close by parks, beach and woodland areas. We often drive to the woods or hills if we want a longer walk. I have private sitter insurance. I work but can be flexible. I offer a lot more free time over weekends and half terms dependent on the needs of the dog. I do not offer home boarding at this time. I do enjoy offering house sitting in your home subject to dates and needs of the pet.
About: My family has cared for dogs for 15 years, and I have fostered and adopted rescue dogs (I have my own now, Tanner, who is very friendly.) I regularly help friends and colleagues with canine care and due to my love and appreciation for animals love doing this as much as possible. I adore all animals and will regularly go out on adventures with my own dog. I am familiar with training dogs with difficult behavioural issues and leash training due to my own experiences with rescue dogs. I am not scared of any size dog and happily help towards any training objectives, just let me know! I am a very active individual and LOVE being outside - which is exactly why I love looking after animals. I have a dog of my own, and take him out regularly. It would be great for him to have a playmate! I’m reliable, trustworthy, give the best cuddles and a disciplined routine that allows me flex in many ways and can adapt to your requirements. I’m a reliable individual and very adventurous with walking and love playing with pets. I will take care of your homes, belongings and pets as well as providing so much love, play time and any training requirements you need - no matter the size of the dog/cat/any animal!
About: I have had dogs/pets since I was a little girl, love all dogs, always bond well. I used to work at the local doggy day care and loved every second. Always went the extra mile to make sure they were extra happy! I do work in the military so my days/weeks can change last minute. I do work 8-4 Monday through to Thursdays and till 12 on Fridays. I do try to keep my calendar up to date, but if you do have any questions regarding my availability and catering to you, just let me know and I can see what I can do! :) Please note, as of 01 September I will be based in Birmingham so there is a high possibility that I won’t be available. But I may be back on the odd weekend/leave periods. I have my own place and open to taking care of your pets in my home. I’m always polite and respectful of others homes. I have been asked in previous years to look after other pets, such as cats and rabbit.
“I have to say. You probably couldn't find a more conscientious and reliable walker. Amelia has been amazing throughout my whole Rover experience and has kept me updated with my pooches. Please guys if you need a pooch walker. Contact Amelia. Will 100% book with her again”
About: I had a cat for 12 years and have a dog (cockapoo) who is 4 years old. I also have a cocker spaniel who is nearly 2 (he lives with my mum in a different property) I have such a massive love for all animals, especially dogs and am also a huge cat lover. I would love for nothing more than to help people out by doing something that I’ve always loved - caring for animals. Very skilled at caring for puppies/dogs, kittens/cats. Looking at my photos you can see my own dog Poppy the apricot Cockapoo, and a variety of other dogs that I am around quite frequently, as small as Dachshund or as big as a Doberman. I’m very flexible and will ensure all instructions or preferences from the owner are carried out. I think this is very important to ensure the pet is staying in the habits the owner would like. For example, not being allowed on beds if the owner is training the dog to not jump on beds. I am looking to provide services of dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays in the owners home. I can drive which makes me even more flexible, I can therefore drive pets to different walking destinations (only if the owner confirms this is okay - owner could provide a dog cage for the car if necessary). I will give my undivided attention to the pet and care for them as if they were my own. Overall I just love animals and would love to help people out! I work full time, but from home,!meaning I am able to come and look after your dog/cat during the week and be at home all day with them caring for them. I work from just a laptop so no set up required, just WiFi! In regards to dog walks I have an hour lunch and can do mornings or after work. I have had pets most of my life and know how important it is to make sure they are safe at all times. This mainly entails making sure they are in a safe environment e.g doors shut and keeping them in areas they are not able to just run out of.

I’m available for walks, play dates or check in’s on weekdays while you’re at work. Am happy to do overnight boarding on request. Living in a ground floor flat, I am happy to have doggy sleepovers for short periods of time as I work from home. However, larger dogs or pups that are used to a garden may find it a little claustrophobic for longer periods. I am happy to be flexible with regard to pet sitting in other peoples houses and comply with whatever regulations you feel comfortable with.

About: Hi, I’m a retired dog lover living with my husband and our own friendly dog. As I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone and will be part of a calm, loving home. We’ve had dogs since 2006, and I volunteered as a dog walker for the RSPCA, so I’m confident with many breeds, reading body language, and supporting anxious dogs, including those with separation worries. We live close to the beach, and your dog will enjoy regular walks, often twice a day, plus time in our secure enclosed garden. Walks can be on or off lead, depending on your dog’s recall and your wishes. I offer a caring, structured environment with plenty of attention and affection. Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture, to help maintain consistency in our home. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I only accept neutered males and spayed females, and every booking starts with a meet and greet, to make sure we are the right fit. My aim is to provide a genuine home from home, where you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m at home full-time, so daycare and dog sitting fit easily into my everyday routine. With my own dog, I’m already out on regular walks often along the beach, and I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine. It means your dog gets attention throughout the day in a calm, consistent setting. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I offer a calm home environment with a secure garden, constant supervision, and a consistent routine. I generally only take one dog at a time. If you have two dogs that live together and need care, this can be discussed. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, with careful assessment before any off-lead time. Every stay starts with a meet and greet, to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed.
“John was great with Ramba. I was worried due to Ramba’s behavioural issues at home with us but apparently he was an angel John! John was happy to answer my messages while I was away and sent plenty of photo updates! We will definitely aim to have ramba stay with John in the future, and can tell Ramba was looked after very well 👌🏽🥰 thank you John”
“I’d definitely recommend Emma as a 5 star sitter and will definitely booking with her again. My dog Eric has just spent nearly 2 weeks with Emma whilst we’ve been on holiday and he’s definitely had a fabulous holiday of his own at her house. Emma kept me up to date with how Eric was getting on and also sent me lots of photos and videos of his adventures with her, her partner and her dog Willow. Eric and Willow got along so well and she’s very chilled with having another dog in her home, vying for her pawrents affections! Eric loves lots of attention, but generally more from humans and tends to be selective with his affection for other dogs, so it was lovely to see videos of him and Willow chasing each other and playing together and photos of them relaxing at home. I’m confident that Eric had a brilliant home from home holiday and Emma will definitely be my first choice of sitter”
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“Claire and her family welcomed our 2 dachshunds Willow and Olive into their home and making them part of the family. Willow and Olive were unsettled at night( (at 10 months old, this was the first time away from us) Claire slept downstairs, giving our girls reassurance. We received regular updates with photos which were lovely. I will book again without hesitation🐾🐾🐾❤️ xx”
About: I'm more of a cat person; my partner is a huge dog lover. But it doesn't really matter; we both know how to treat an animal with love and respect. I know how stressful and hard it can be to leave your beloved pets with a stranger, so I want to help other pet lovers with the anxiety of going through it. Both my partner and I are working from home, so your animals' needs will never be left unattended. Providing regular check-ups and updates is effortless for me. We live in a three-bedroom animal-friendly house with a fenced garden, a nice park for walks nearby, and a 24/7 personal assistant for your four-legged friends of all shapes and sizes. I have my own cat, but thanks to the invention of doors, keeping the animals separated won't be a problem (not that your animal will ever be locked in a room alone, unless it prefers privacy).
“Bertie had a fantastic 2 nights with Sofia and her mum. He was really treated as one of the family and I was sent regular updates and photos. I had no worries about him and I'm sure he can't wait to go back to his second family!”
“Ella was the perfect choice for us (& Chello) - she clearly formed a very quick bond with our beloved pooch, sent us regular updates, and returned him happy & well-cared for. We would definitely book her again!”
“Charlie was sad to leave when I picked him up and that that says it all! I got regular updates of Charlie was up to whilst I was working and they kept him entertained. Definitely would ask Maria and the family to look after him in a heartbeat.”
“A wonderful family who took great care of Doris like she was their own. She didn't want to leave when I came to pick her up! I wouldn't hesitate to book Rhiannon again in the future.”
“Found Christine at the last minute as our regular sitter was unavailable. Could not fault Christine in any way. Our dog came back from her week long visit full of vitality and had even been bathed and groomed following a muddy outing!”
“Our slightly tricky dogs were so at home with Preston that they didn't give a backward glance when we handed them over. We got lots of updates and photos so could see that they were in clover during their stay. Definitely a five star holiday for them!”
