“Ray was so happy at Alicia’s house. He stayed for 10 days and I felt completely confident and reassured the whole time. Alicia sent daily updates and was flexible and understanding of his needs as an older dog. I’d really recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Thank you Alicia xx”
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Bethany and James are a wonderful! They took amazing care of Bramble over our summer holidays. She’s an excitable young pup and they cared for her with love and experience. Their place is perfectly set up for dogs. Communication is first class - with regular pics and anecdotes. Bramble was treated to days out and new experiences on her ‘holiday’. I would recommend without hesitation and will 100% go back to them for future holiday boarding. It really was a home from home for Bramble which made our holidays completely relaxing too.”
“Ricky and gang looked after Emmy (small blue Staffy) this week. Ricky was great with communication and both his dogs were great with our’s. Emmy likes to play and can also be very chilled and Ricky’s dogs were perfect energy and also not too much as it was a new environment for our’s. We were wanting someone that had other dogs so our’s had some company when we were away and they got on like a house on fire. Emmy was sad to leave so looking forward to the next booking / hangout time. Massive thanks you to Ricky and the gang.”
“Daniel and Alida looked after Mole beautifully while we were away. We got messages, pictures and videos every day showing how much fun Mole was having. He really enjoyed having their French Bulldog George to play with too. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have Mole again.”
“I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog Flo with Joanna for one week while I was abroad. Joanna was patient, caring, and sent regular photos and feedback every day. I felt totally at ease and will use Joanna's service regularly throughout the year. Highly recommended! What I Loved: Daily updates with cute photos; Kind and patient care for Flo; Great communication while I was away; and Total peace of mind on my trip Future Plans: Will book again very soon for daily care and overnight stays; and I Plan to use Joanna's service regularly all year”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
“This was the first time Milo stayed with someone new, Frankie, kept us updated with his progress and pictures. We will definitely look to be using Frankie again the near future ☺️”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos!

We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Another wonderful home-from-home sleepover with Freddie :-). He loves snuggles & being WITH you ( if you know you know🤣) so having Kathleen pander/ treat him the way he wants is such a blessing for us doggie parents. 10 out of 10 service :-)”
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs and cats and absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, affection and care, making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe and happy while you’re away.

I work from home most of the week, apart from Wednesdays when I go into the office. This means I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I can provide morning and evening walks, as well as playtime, cuddles and lots of company throughout the day. I also have a large, secure field attached to my house, which means I can take dogs out on my lunch break for some extra exercise, running around and exploring. Working from home means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to fit their care around my daily routine.

Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, love and plenty of reassurance. ❤️
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Our Yorkshire terrier could not have been more looked after! I think he had a better time then we did on holiday and really got on with the sitters dog. Steve and his wife were so lovely and welcoming and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would have no hesitation rebooking !”

“Seems unfair to only leave a 5star review as this was the most pleasant experience thus far. Elizabeth’s home is so welcoming and oh so lovely. Stunning garden, great location with a woodland walk just steps away. From the moment we all met, we all just felt at home and our doggies bonded very quickly. Thanks so much for taking great care of our doggies, i was worried they wouldnt want to leave your home. We would very happily look to you again when we need to arrange boarding. Thank you for washing the bedding and food pots totally unexpected and the dogs looked fresh too.”

About: I grew up with cats and I have taken care of friend’s cats for years. I have experience with multiple breeds and personalities. I love spending time with cats but I am also happy to give them their own space if they need.
“Couldn’t have asked for more. Shaunna went above and beyond to make sure I had updates on boots even doing an extra check in when he was out exploring during the visit time. Boots was very well looked after and I returned to a happy puss 🐈”
“This was our first time using cat in a flat and it was a great experience. Leah stepped in at the last minute, and was amazing. We have four rescue cats who can be wary of new people, but they really took to her. Leah provided regular updates and photos, and we came back to a very happy brood. We would highly recommend her. ”
“Natasha was looking after my cats while I was gone for a few days to visit a friend. She was really good at communicating and my cats were very well looked after 💕 i would highly recommend her services”
“Kate took great care of my cat, sending me regular updates too. She spent time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. I came home to a very happy cat. Highly recommended 💕”
About: I’ve looked after multiple cats and absolutely love spending time with them. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I love giving cats plenty of cuddles, attention and playtime, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer relaxing somewhere cosy. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding and care routines and give them all the love and fuss they need. I have a secure garden and access to a massive secure field, providing a safe and spacious environment if your cat enjoys exploring outdoors.

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s two cats for the past two years house sitting whilst they go on holidays. They constantly have access to come and go as they please! Tracker collars are stored away incase they ever need to be used to ensure cats safety whilst having a blast playing outside all day!
“Ellie was amazing and took such good care of our two cats! We got nice photos every day and updates throughout. When we came back both cats were happy and content and we couldn't have asked for a better cat-sitter.”
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for cats and grew up with cats of my own, so I understand their individual personalities, routines and ways of communicating. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, earning more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. I have cared for confident, sociable cats as well as more nervous or independent cats who need extra patience and space to settle. I also had a diabetic cat of my own, so I am experienced in administering medication and following strict feeding and treatment schedules. I am comfortable caring for cats with additional health needs and understand how important it is to follow an owner’s instructions carefully and consistently. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention and playtime or prefers quiet company on their own terms, I will adapt my care to suit them. I will keep their litter area clean, maintain their usual routine and send regular photos and updates so you know they are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had cats from a very young age and understand how different every cat’s personality and needs can be. Friends, neighbours and family have trusted me to feed, play with and care for their pets while away. I’m calm, patient and reliable, and I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy caring for shy, playful or older cats and always make sure they get lots of attention, affection and routine. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service.
“Mila had looked after my 2 cats twice and has been fantastic! She videos her arrival and when she leaves, sends lots of reassuring messages and photos. She clearly loves animals and is kind and gentle with them. My cats are both rescues and extremely scared of new people but were very relaxed around Mila. I would highly recommend her!”
“Koah looked after our three cats; Nelson, Florence and Winston whilst we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them and give them a fuss. She did a fantastic job of making sure they were fed and didn't feel like they had been abandoned. Koah kindly sent videos and pictures so we didn't miss them too much. She also went above and beyond by either releasing or disposing of the wildlife that was bought in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she would be my first choice when re-booking a Cat Sitter.”
“As ever, Amy was a wonderful sitter. And a perfect houseguest. Pretty sure it was tidier coming back to than when we left! His Highness wasn't at all bothered about us being away. Which shows how happy he was. Cannot recommend Amy enough, especially if you are nervous when going away and leaving the boss/es.”
About: I specialise in cat and small animal visits, which means I focus on calm, consistent care in the pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, including long-term cat ownership, I understand how important routine is, especially for cats. Some love attention and play, others prefer a quieter presence, and I always adapt to their individual personality. I’m experienced with senior pets and can provide simple medication if needed. I’m patient, gentle and respectful of both the animal and the home. As a housekeeper, I’m also used to working responsibly in clients’ homes and paying attention to detail, which gives owners extra peace of mind while they’re away. I work as a housekeeper during the day around the school run, so I already have a structured routine and I’m used to being reliable and respectful in people’s homes. I offer cat and small animal visits in the early mornings and evenings, which means I can keep feeding times consistent and give pets calm, unhurried attention. My schedule stays steady throughout the year, so I’m able to commit to regular visits and holiday bookings with confidence. As I offer home visits, I care for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I visit once or twice a day depending on what’s needed, keeping everything calm and consistent with their usual routine. During each visit I’ll feed and refresh water, clean litter trays or cages, give any simple medication if required, and spend time giving attention, play and reassurance. I’m very mindful that some cats love interaction while others prefer a gentler approach, so I always follow their personality and routine. I’m also happy to open and close curtains, collect post and keep an eye on the home while you’re away. After every visit, I send a message and photo update so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Joanna was absolute life saver and accepted a last minute booking to look after Reggie. We all immediately felt at ease as she greeted Reggie calmly and obviously understood dogs really well. She took care to ask questions about him before we left and it was clear reggie was going to have a lovely day. We got lots of lovely pics of him lording it on the bed and lying in the garden. He was obviously calm and happy when I picked him up. Highly recommend!!!”

“Juni had a fantastic time with Alida, Daniel and George! I felt really confident leaving her in their care, they kept me updated throughout the day and were accommodating and flexible too. Huge thank you!”
“So grateful to Ricky and his pups for spending the day with Pablo at the last minute. Ricky has fantastic calm energy that made Pablo feel instantly comfortable, and gave us confidence that he was in great hands.”
“Thank you Philippa for taking such good care of my whippet. He was happy and relaxed when I came to collect him. And I loved the picture updates. I felt reassured he was well looked after whilst he was with you. Hopefully see you again!”
“Madalyn truly loves dogs and my boy feels very comfortable with her and her pooches. After the first day, he had such a wonderful time that he now drags me to the door and toddles off to play with his new best friends and snuggle Madalyn. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in a home surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, and treated as part of the family rather than just a booking. I got regular updates, photos, and could see how relaxed and content he was the whole time. It’s obvious that Madalyn understands dog behaviour and goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about dogs, this is the perfect place. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.”
“Nawal took such beautiful care of Pablo. He’s a gigantic high energy puppy who can be a handful when he’s bored, but she was completely unphased, gave him loads of exercise, mental stimulation and love, and shared photos and updates with us all day so we felt totally at ease. She has magical calm energy, and is a genuine animal lover. Pablo didn’t want to leave!”
About: I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care. I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed. I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was just 3 years old and I absolutely adore them. I’ve always had a family dog and currently have a 12 year old dog who has experienced a number of health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable giving daily medication and providing extra care and attention when needed. I’m reliable, caring and patient, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s an exciting walk, a drop-in visit for some company and cuddles, or simply making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away, I’ll always make their wellbeing my priority. I live with my partner and we’re both huge dog lovers, so dogs are always made to feel welcome and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule as have time away from work, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and would love the company of some furry friends. I’m particularly flexible during the day at the moment, making it easy for me to fit around your dog’s individual routine and needs. When I return to work, I work from home two days a week and have good availability at weekends. On the three days I’m in the office, I finish at 4pm, so I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins. I’m happy to work around your schedule wherever I can and will always make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, happy and comfortable. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive and always take the time to get to know each dog, their quirks and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. I’m experienced in caring for an older dog with ongoing health issues and giving daily medication, so I’m comfortable providing extra care when needed. For walks, I always prioritise safety and keep dogs secure and supervised, while making sure they have plenty of time to explore, sniff and enjoy themselves. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide lots of attention, cuddles and companionship, as well as making sure they have everything they need before I leave.
“Samantha looked after our rather anxious older whippet for us whilst we visited Hastings. We dropped our whippet off and were pleased from the start as Samantha greeted our whippet (and us) quietly and calmly. Her home also reflected this - a calm, comfortable, pet friendly space. She asked good questions about our pet and her habits, and introduced her own dog later on when ours had had a chance to settle in. She is obviously an experienced, gentle and knowledgeable dog person. If we visit Hastings again we would not hesitate to book Samantha to look after our beloved wee dog.”
“I've never felt so at ease so fast with people looking after our lovely friendly Elsie. The love and care is so visible across all our messages, in person interactions and the lovely photos Bethany shared of Elsie spending the day at their home. Elsie was, unsurprisingly, livid at me taking her home. I look forward to Elsie's future visits ❤️”
About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
About: I’m an experienced pet/house sitter, having looked after everything from blind toy poodles to escape artist hamsters in their homes - including managing baths, medication and vet visits. I grew up with beautiful energetic dogs and affectionate cats, and adore spending time with animals. I have a slew of friends’ dogs for who I’m the go-to person for overnight stays and walks, and like to get close to the pets I look after. I’ll always follow your instructions for your pet to the letter (but will have a sweet spot for dogs that are allowed cuddles with me on the sofa 🙂) I am currently not working and so can be very attentive to your pet. I am very flexible about timings (pick ups, drop offs, arrivals), walking times and duration of care. I have a car (although it has a closed boot so can only carry dogs on the back seat) I like pet sitting in the animal’s own home as it puts them at ease and smooths the discomfort that can come from being looked after by a new person If you prefer them at my place, my basement flat has a very safe walled garden, but I also have access to a beautiful park-like communal garden, and the park and seafront are 5 mins from my flat.
“Reggie has loved his walks with Danielle and is so excited to see her each time. Danielle is trustworthy, friendly and it’s lovely to know that Reggie is in such safe hands on his walks. Will definitely check if she is free if Reggie needs walking again. Many thanks”
“I can’t recommend Natasha enough! They are incredibly consistent and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m working. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I love knowing I can rely on them 100%. Five stars!”
About: I have a lovely senior dog of my own, a rescue that I have had for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also worked with horses at a horse riding school. I love animals and I have lots of experience in caring for them. Im a tattooist/creative and I’m currently working on a creative writing project at home so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule and location. I will be offering caring for your pets in your own home, visits in your own home or walks. I have worked in hospitality for over ten years while I was studying social work, now I’m a social worker but I’m taking time off while I do some writing. I will take care of your home just like I would take care of the venue at my hospitality jobs. I would be happy to keep your pet company while you’re at work or away, I can take them for lots of walks or minimal walks depending on their age, and I can give them lots of cuddles! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
“Regularly book Kathy for walks for my dog Milo to often break up some time he’s alone if I go out. Wouldn’t want to go to anyone else now! We had A few not so great experiences with dog care when we moved to the areas and before meeting Kathy and I wasn’t sure how Milo would take to a new dog Walker. Safe to say we both love Kathy!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Sally was awesome for our whippet Paddy! We came to town and forgot to organise a dog walker whilst we attended a wedding and Sally was able to accommodate our last minute request. Very happy and will definitely book again if we need a dog walker when visiting next time :)”
About: I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care. I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed. I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.
“Amy was lovely & friendly. CúSí took to her straight away. She came well prepared for walking with bags, water and a pop up bowl. She was flexible in changing the walk time to an earlier one due to hot weather. CúSí came home chilled and happy after an hour's walking. I'd definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a dog walker and I have no doubt she'd also excel at pet sitting services too.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with chickens horses dogs and cats. I currently have a tabby cat called Milo and a Cockapoo called Buddy, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, company during the day or keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I have completed DBS checks as part of previous employment. I understand the importance of caring for both pets and owners’ homes responsibly, and I always aim to provide a safe, dependable and friendly service. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine as I have both a dog and a cat myself. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime and giving pets attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a chore. I’m flexible during the week and happy to work around pets’ usual routines to help them feel comfortable and settled. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. In a pet owner’s home, I would respect their space, follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for reassurance too. Safety, patience and kindness are always my priority.🐾
About: I have always had cats or dogs in the household. It doesn’t feel like home without them. I have recently moved and am waiting for a good time before getting another pet. I am missing being around cats and dogs and would love to help out other people who need some support. I have always looked after family/friends animals. I have always been surrounded by animals, and they’ve been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past year, I’ve also had the chance to look after other people’s pets, which has been such a rewarding experience. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending time with them, I truly love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy and loved. I have plenty of time to spend with your little once. I can do most week days after 10. And am available some weekends after 10. I will care for every animal with love, patience, and attention, always making their safety my top priority. I create a warm and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after. Building trust is just as important, I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and loving space where every pet feels at home.

“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Ricky and gang looked after Emmy (small blue Staffy) this week. Ricky was great with communication and both his dogs were great with our’s. Emmy likes to play and can also be very chilled and Ricky’s dogs were perfect energy and also not too much as it was a new environment for our’s. We were wanting someone that had other dogs so our’s had some company when we were away and they got on like a house on fire. Emmy was sad to leave so looking forward to the next booking / hangout time. Massive thanks you to Ricky and the gang.”
“Daniel and Alida looked after Mole beautifully while we were away. We got messages, pictures and videos every day showing how much fun Mole was having. He really enjoyed having their French Bulldog George to play with too. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have Mole again.”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
“This was the first time Milo stayed with someone new, Frankie, kept us updated with his progress and pictures. We will definitely look to be using Frankie again the near future ☺️”

“Bethany & Chad were outstanding with our two pets! Right from the moment we did our meet & greet, we knew they would take such good care of our dog & cat which they absolutely did. Beyond the exceptional care they took, it was evident they genuinely enjoyed their time with the pets & that made us so happy. From the photos & videos to the sweetest gesture of Christmas presents for both pets, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Bethany & Chad. Our sincerest & heartfelt thank you for taking such good care of them, we are beyond grateful.”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dog, and her gentle giant Zeke is a equally wonderful. She came fully stocked with toys, which our dog proceeded to destroy, and he was very quickly at ease with Natalie. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had cats all my life, and I had a dog from the age of 15-30, who I walked and cared for daily. I am not currently in a position to have my own pet, so I enjoy sitting, walking and cuddling others in the mean time :) I work Mon-Fri, leaving 7.30am and returning home between 4-5. Cats are best suited for longer stays during the weeks. Dogs are welcome in the evenings and for overnight stays I'd they can be collected early. Otherwise weekends are best. I am also able to pop in anywhere local for feeding and walking etc in the week and weekends in the mornings and evenings. I live in a 3 story house, so there are lots of stairs! But generally I hang out on one floor where the kitchen is and access to an outdoor space, so your pets don't have to deal with the stairs too much! I'm happy for them to be on sofa snoozing and in my bed if they don't malt loads! I have a garden that is fenced on one side and walled on the other.

I work for the NHS as an Estate Manager, my work is very flexible therefore my schedule will be altered to suit the care and presence of your pet.

“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”
