“Andrea and her husband are so lovely, and so is there dog Bella. They took such good care of willow. I felt very at ease leaving her for the first time in their home and Andrea was super communicative all day, sending lovely updates. Will absolutely use again!”
“Sammy dog sat for us for 1 night as a trial to see if our dog would be happy and settled. We dropped him off on Wednesday evening and collected him on Thursday evening. Sammy was quick to reply to my check in messges. Geoff was well looked after and we are happy that Sammy has agreed to look after him again in a few months as we know he will be loved and well looked after in our absence.”
“Jasper had a great time with you. I was pleased to hear that he was good for you and that you are happy to have him again. He was happy to come, it’s lovely to see him pulling to get in and was happy when we collected him. I am so confident and reassured by you with him in your care. We will be booking a weeks holiday! We look forward to to the next time!”
“Second time we've boarded our doggo with Iddy. As always she went above and beyond. Iddy offers him such diverse enrichment, that I think he may have been sad coming home this time 🤣 He was very well cared for and she always keeps us updated with lots of pictures. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Craig and his family were amazing! They were updating me while I was away and it looks like my Ellie also had her vacation while Craig and his family are dog-sitting her. I really can see that Ellie is happy and she really had a fun time with time. Thank you for picking up and dropping off Ellie. I will definitely rebook to them again when Ellie needs a dog sitter. Thank you so much guys! ?”
“Helen and her family did a great job taking care of our young dog and we felt confident that she was in good hands. Great communication and they even had spare dog toys for Rimu to play with. Would book with them again any time!”
“We are so happy we found Martha to help watch our Winston from time to time! She and her son are lovely and took great care of our boy while we were away. She also sent lots of photo updates, which we adore. We will definitely be using her for future boarding!”
“Thank you for looking after Ruby for the week. She clearly enjoyed her stay as she seemed a bit sad to come home! Thanks for the photos that were reassuring and I’m happy that she got on with your dogs too.”
About: i have had and cared for dogs and cats from a young age, so understand just how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as one of my own, providing a loving, caring and safe home-from-home environment where they can feel relaxed, happy and well looked after. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and i am happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible. Whether they love long walks, plenty of cuddles, playtime or simply curling up somewhere cosy, I will make sure they receive plenty of attention, love and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets’ happiness and wellbeing is my priority, and want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in a loving home. I currently work Tuesday to Friday, 9am–3pm, so I’m available to care for dogs from Friday to Monday and can look after cats Monday to Sunday. I’m flexible where possible and happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and routine. 🐾❤️ I have a fenced garden and a 11 year old to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I love going for walks and spend a lot of our time at parks and the beach
“Our dog Cindy had a fantastic stay with Suzanne. Although she was only with Suzanne for 1 night Cindy was taken on 2 long walks and she settled in well. I highly recommend Suzanne and would use her again.”
“We were so pleased with the care Trigger received during his stay with Alisha and Dan. He had an absolutely lovely time, especially playing with their dog Murphy, which was great to hear! Alisha and Dan were fantastic sitters—friendly, reliable, and clearly very caring. They kept us regularly updated with plenty of feedback, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive dog sitters. Trigger came home happy and relaxed, which says it all!”
“Geraldine was an excellent host, Squidge had a great time and loved his stay! Received regular updates, clear communication and Geraldine was accommodating for Squidge's special habits, would book again”
“Fantastic person, on count of 1-10, 10 being the best, she is a million. Looked after our handful dog for seven days amazing. The dog was well looked after and gave as feedback everyday. I highly recommend and will rebook a thousand times. Thank you”
“Charlotte looked after our slightly nervous Labrador overnight and it all went really well. Communications were great and we had a photo of Arthur sent to us, and who was apparently well behaved! We will definitely be using Charlotte again when we need Arthur looking after.”
About: I am 35 years old and have cared for dogs for most of my life. I own one myself who is 12 years old and he lives between my house and my parents. Caring for dogs is my passion and I already have a community of lovely people whose dogs I look after regularly. I have repeat bookings weekly for doggy daycare and overnight boarding. I have a very loving home and pets are allowed on the sofa with lots of cuddles and attention. I would treat your dog like it’s my own. I work from home and live on my own so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog, they will never be left on their own. I have a fair amount of space with a fenced garden so they will always be safe. I live next to a large recreation field which is perfect for long walks and I am available every day of the week including weekends. I am also available for same day bookings. I have bi-fold doors from my open plan living room leading to the garden which are always open (aslong as it’s not raining) so your dog can go in and out as they please. There is also plenty of space in my house to have your dog with a crate if needed.
“Stanley loved his stay with Karolina. He's been there a few times. When we arrived he jumped out the car and took himself to her front door (always a good sign) she kept us updated on how he was doing. Then he was getting strokes when we picked him up. Can't recommend enough!”
“My dog felt very comfortable and happy in Nikki's company. She certainly knows her dogs! She was also very understanding when we had to cut short his stay due to an unexpected hospital visit. We have already booked another stay.”
“Michelle went above and beyond looking after our dog for the weekend, while we got married close by! She even popped by to allow us to take pictures on our special day with our dog. Michelle has a wonderful home and a gorgeous big garden that is enclosed, allowing dogs to run around freely and safely. We felt very at easy during our dog’s stay knowing Michelle was perfectly trustworthy and knowledgeable re dog care.”
“Sinead took excellent care of our boy Frank and he had the best time during his 5 day stay with her and her family. She has an idyllic home with lots of open space. She is calm and very experienced - I knew instantly that we were leaving him in very capable hands and I was so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thank you so much Sinead and Bentley (his new best friend).”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. My cats are usually very wary of new people (will hide under the bed) but they warmed up straight away and weren’t scared which says everything about how naturally caring and calm they are. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they’re a true cat person and genuinely understands how to make cats feel comfortable. They cleaned up all the mess my cats made—from furballs to picking up things they had knocked over (including scattered Lego pieces). When I mentioned I noticed things had been knocked around, Steven even offered to come by earlier to check on them and make sure they were okay. I’d absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely caring cat sitter.”
“Sammy did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after Luna for us and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She logged all of her visits and sent us photos and/or videos every day, which was so reassuring. Her communication leading upto and during the time we were away was first class and we coukdn't have wished for a better sitter to look after Luna for us 😊 We would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for everything Sammy, you've been amazing!”
“Lucy is a fantastic cat sitter. Our fur ball absolutely loves her and is always so unbothered to see us when we get back to him which is a restatement to Lucy’s care. ”

“We would definitely recommend Martine and Teresa to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. We went away for the weekend, and they took wonderful care of our young cat, Muffin. They kept us updated throughout our trip by sending regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We felt completely at ease leaving Muffin in their care, knowing she was being looked after so well. Martine and Teresa are friendly, caring, and very responsive. We were so happy with their service that we will definitely be using them again in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters.”
“Esme took Harley for a lovely walk and he looked very happy and relaxed in his pictures. As a newcomer to the App, Esme has been very accommodating and I found the report card very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to request Esme again.”
“Aliy was absolutely brilliant looking after my kitten while I was away. She was so lovely and caring, kept me updated with how he was doing, and was always really easy to communicate with. The updates and reassurance made being away so much easier, as I knew my kitten was in safe and caring hands. I would definitely recommend Aliy and would happily have her look after my kitten again! 🐾”
“Jenna was amazing looking after my mums indoor cat for 2 weeks, sent updates photos and videos daily. Harold loves a brush and fuss and had plenty of those. Would highly recommend.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, dogs first, growing up, then cats for most of my adult years, two of whom lived a good life all the way to 21 and 23. There's a particular kind of trust that builds slowly over time with an older animal, a language of small signals, and a practice of paying real attention which one learns to read. Over the years I've often looked after friends' pets too, and with my own older ones, I've seen them through various medications for ongoing age-related symptoms, so routines, dosages, and the small day to day adjustments that come with an aging pet are all familiar territory to me. Right now I share my home with a 12-year-old moggie/Norwegian Forest cat, who came to me as a rescue at six and settled beautifully once he felt safe — he has lots of little ways of communicating his needs. So I know what it is to live alongside family pets who have their own mind, their own rhythm, and their own way of letting you in. Whether it's a puppy full of energy or an old soul who moves a little slower these days, I meet each animal as they are no rushing, no forcing, just quiet attentiveness and the kind of care I'd want for my own. If you're picturing your pet settled, unbothered, still themselves while you're away that's exactly what I'm here to give them.
About: I have had my cat for the last 5 years after rescuing her from a shelter. She was a stray cat, so I know a lot about how to deal with skittish or scared cats, I’m understanding of when they need space and how changes can affect them. I’m also very happy to play with cats, I’d say that I’d get a good review from my cat on that part. I’m happy to feed, scoop litter boxes, let cats in/out, and give medicine via food or topical application. Do contact me and we can talk about the requirements of your fur baby and I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and happy!
About: My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier! We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study. Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Tanya was an excellent sitter. She was very friendly and attentive and asked relevant questions. She took notes about our cat’s feeding routine and followed them to the letter. She provided regular feedback and we would definitely highly recommend!”
“Heather looked after princess Tilly, she took great care off her,Tilly can be very warry of strangers, but Heather was very patient with her, in a few day Tilly was being a tart enjoying snuggles, I was updated daily with messages and photos of my fur baby, would highly recommended Heather ”
“We’ve just used Sebastian’s services again and had another great experience. Great communication, lovely photos of Rio throughout and he left the house spotless. Thanks Sebastian! Looking forward to our upcoming booking ☺️”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had a family dog growing up from when I was 10 years old! I absolutely love dogs and the joy they bring to life. I’ve always looked after my own dog and would take her for walks, feed, play with and bathe her. As an adult my partner and I brought home a Cavapoo puppy Bella in October of 2022 so have experience with a high energy puppy as well. We take her for walks every day and she is well cared for in our home and would love to do the same for your dog! I am currently working full-time but my job is work from home so I am always home during the day so I am available during the day and on the weekends both my partner and I are home and able to dog sit! I live in a ground floor flat which has an enclosed balcony and we have a 1.5 year old Cavapoo to keep your fur baby company! We live right by a park and open field so have plenty of space to get outside and go for walks as well! We do have a spare room so do have the space to keep the dogs separated if need be as well.
About: Aswell as having my own dog and growing up with dogs, I have assisted my mum with her pet care services business in 2017, looking after customers best friends if she wasn’t able too. I’ve also helped on dog walks and pop ins for dogs and cats. I work from home 99% of the time and for that 1%, I get plenty of notice if I’m needed elsewhere. With my own woof Lily, we go out for a walk in the morning before I log on, out at lunchtime and then the evening again depending on our plans! I have a suitable garden size for toilet breaks and ball play. I also work full time hours over 4 days so off work Friday to Sunday. I have a fenced and gated garden, we have room for a crate of needed and will have a stair gate to separate access between upstairs and downstairs. We also have a spare bedroom which let’s be honest, is Lily room!
“I was very lucky that Portia was able to help me out last minute, was very accommodating to my new puppy. Sent me updates and photos. Very kind lady and I was very happy that my puppy was in great hands.”
“Rusty had a lovely time with Martine. You can tell she's an absolute dog lover and sent us some lovely pictures of Rusty playing with the other dogs. Would 100% recommend Martine to anyone looking for doggy daycare.”
About: I am 30 Years old and a mum to a four year old. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I have always been an animal lover but never had the opportunity to have a pet for myself. I’m available to look after your dog and take them for walks. I’m happy to provide regular walks, daytime care, or dog sitting depending on your needs. I’m flexible with days and times and can work around your schedule wherever possible. I am living in a ground floor flat but have a fenced and gated garden so your pet will be safe when roaming in the garden.
“Wow! Ember was in such safe and engaging hands with Iddy. She trotted off without so much as a second glance and by the looks of the photos had the best day. Super communication and updates about her doggy daycare. Looking forward to her next adventure with Iddy.”
“Absolutely fantastic couple that take amazing care of Molly. She pull's me straight back every time after the meet and greet and always comes home tired from having fun with Murphy. Cant recommend enough a lovely couple with alot of time and knowledge about keeping your little family member safe and entertained.”
“Regular updates from Luis during Monty’s first visit was really helpful and reassuring to know that he is comfortable and having a great time. We’ve already got some dates to rebook with Luis.”
“Geraldine was absolutely wonderful with our little pup! She has a heart of gold and sent me the loveliest updates all throughout the day - I could tell that our furbaby was totally in love with her, and when I collected her at the end of the day she was full of smiles. Could not recommend Geraldine enough - thank you so much for taking such good care of Baby! ❤️”
“Tigger had a great time with Craig, Piper, and family. I was kept regularly updated through the day and Craig asked lots of questions when I dropped Tigger off about his his care. I would have no hesitation in using Craig to look after Tigger again.”
About: My kitten of 18 years passed away last year, so I now have an empty nest. I know from experience how hard it is to find someone you trust to leave your baby with when you need to go away, so I'm offering a home from home for your pet. I have experience in giving all types of medication, and understanding different behaviours... and most important of all, your pet will be welcome up on the couch for cuddles. I am home all day so they will not be left alone, and can send you updates and photos as often as you wish :) I work from home, so your pet will have my attention whenever they want or need. This also means I can fit in any feeding or medication schedual. I will also be free to contact any time. I am home all day, so your baby will not be left alone... unless that's their thing! If they're young and want play time, I'll be there to play... or if they're a bit older and just want to lay on the couch and get stroked I can do that too :)

“Charlotte and her family were very welcoming and accommodating for Loki and he had a lovely day with them and playing with their dog. He didn’t want to leave to come home! I would definitely use them again”
About: I’ve always lived with dogs.Im so happy to be with them; whether I’m walking or playing fetch or feeding them . I have brought up puppies and loved and lost senior dogs too but they’re all so special in their own ways. I have time every week day and some Saturdays to look after your furry hound .whether they need a run in the garden and a play . Or some dinner or just a comfort hug . If I come to your home I will obviously check doors and gates are closed before letting your dog out . I will feed them the correct amount of food it requires and give it my full attention.
“Gemma was amazing, I was late to pick up on the second day and she was quite happy to have him a little while longer. Scruff came out happy and very tired both days which helped me a lot ;D. Highly recommend - will use Gemma again if in the area. Thank you! Liam & Scruff.”

About: Currently we are unable to have our own dog and therefore love the idea of being able to care for your precious pups when needed. I’ve always been a dog lover, and had the fortunate opportunity of taking in my Nan’s beloved Greyhound/Border Collie/Saluki Molly (pictured) after her sad passing. We were able to give Molly a new lease of life after taking her in at the age of 11 and she lived until the ripe age of 17. Since then, I have taken any opportunity to dog sit, walk and love my friends and families dogs, to fill the hole since Molly passed. I would love to be able to walk and care for your precious pups whenever I can, along with the help of my also dog-loving partner, Tom. I currently work hybrid (2 days a week in the office), and my partner Tom works at home full time meaning someone will always be at home. I am a very active person and love to go on long weekend and evening walks with a furry friend. I have a fenced garden which makes our house ideal for senior dogs who may need to be in and out a lot. We are also situated very close to a local football field for quick morning runarounds, and have access to local woodlands for muddier and longer walks. Being able to drive also means I love to visit new dog walking places and let your furry babies have the best run around!

About: I have grown up with dogs since childhood and absolutely love the benefits they bring. From looking after family pets to months worth of animal handling placements I am grateful to have a wealth of experience and knowledge with different animals. I have recently qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon and so I bring a wealth of knowledge including but not limited to first aid, administering medications and senior pet care. I am a newly qualified Veterinary Surgeon with plenty of availability until I find my first job in practice. Please don’t hesitate to contact me and we can create a tailored plan for your pet. I watch carefully for behavioural clues from every animal I look after and tailor my approach for each individual. I hold an enhanced DBS check and am fully insured.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for most of my life and in the last 5 years have started to take care of friend's cats too. I have experience with rescue dogs, young, and elderly dogs, and cats, and other small pets as well as those with medication needs. I am currently working full-time and completing a degree apprenticeship which allows me flexibility with working from home and one study day a week which is online meaning I am at home. I do not work evenings or weekends and have breaks throughout the day for walks and visits. I have a fenced garden at my home with my rescue dog, Oscar (9) who is friendly and playful and 2 guinea pigs, Bueno and Rolo who have their own secure room upstairs. I live opposite a large country park where Oscar and I go for walks.
About: ⭐ Star Sitter, Lincensed Home-from-Home Dog Boarding and Pet care in Horsham We provide a calm, home-from-home environment for friendly dogs needing day care, overnight stays, or holiday care. Plus cat care in your own home. For your peace of mind, Tail Turners is fully insured, DBS checked and licensed by Horsham District Council for home boarding Dogs stay with us as part of family life and enjoy plenty of companionship, enrichment, exercise, and affection. For cats and small pets, we offer drop-in visits and care in the comfort of their own home, helping to maintain their usual routine while you’re away. We have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including those requiring medication or additional support. Our care is particularly well suited to friendly companion breeds, smaller dogs, and pets who enjoy a relaxed, family environment. Myself, my family and my friend that helps out absolutely love animals and have always had pets in our lives. I have my our own dog—a small Cavapoo and so we truly understand how much pets mean as part of the family. Between myself and my friend we have many years of experience with dogs, cats and small animals, including rabbits. We understand that every pet is different, and we always take the time to get to know their individual routines, personalities and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for. I work on a freelance basis so have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Working alongside me is my friend Teresa who works within a school, who has regular free time in the school holidays, weekends and after school, meaning between us we can offer consistent, reliable care. I have a fully enclosed garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, explore and enjoy being outside safely. We both grew up with dogs and cats and have continued caring for family pets over the years, as well as providing feeding visits and check-ins for others’. 🐾 We have experience with dogs and cats at all life stages, from playful puppies/kittens through to seniors, and understand the different levels of care, patience and reassurance they may need. One of our own cats was an indoor Bengal with additional needs, so we are confident administering medication and providing gentle, attentive and patient care, always tailored to each animal’s individual needs. Your pet’s comfort, happiness and wellbeing are always our priority. We aim to provide a calm, reassuring presence so they feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away. We also offer reliable local walks and drop-in visits in the Horsham area, ideal for busy owners, workdays or holidays. We also have very close links to a vet surgery in the area and are able to help with transportation to Vets visits if needed. We’re always happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind and capable hands 💛 🐾 Suitability & Home Environment We offer a calm, home-from-home environment and are best suited to small to medium sized, friendly, sociable dogs who are comfortable around other dogs and in a home setting. As we have our own dogs and may care for more than one at a time, we are not the right fit for dogs with aggressive behaviours or those who prefer to be the only pet. Having said that we never have more than 3 or 4 dogs at any one time to ensure we can give them the attention they deserve. We always arrange a meet & greet to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. If you’d like to have a chat or arrange a meet & greet, we’d love to hear from you 😊 Between us, we can cover all weekly pet care needs. As I work on a freelance basis, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. My colleague works within a school and has regular time off, including holidays, so between us we’re able to offer consistent, reliable cover across weekdays, evenings and weekends. This means we can be flexible to suit your needs and ensure your pets aren’t left without care or companionship. When caring for pets, whether in our home or the owner’s home, we always aim to keep things as calm, familiar and consistent as possible. We take the time to understand each pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any specific needs, so they feel comfortable and settled. In the owner’s home, we respect their space and follow their pet’s normal routine closely, providing companionship, care and plenty of reassurance while they’re away. In our own homes, we offer a clean, safe and relaxed environment with fully enclosed gardens for secure outdoor time. We only take on a small number of pets so we can give them plenty of attention, care and supervision, making sure they feel at ease and well looked after. We’re also very happy to provide updates and photos, so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy, safe and in caring hands.
“Caroline is absolutely fantastic! She’s great with Hoxton and so communicative with updates and photos! Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup and every week I know he looks forward to it! Smiles all round.”
About: The companionship of animals has always been part of my life. Growing up in the countryside our dogs, Kimmy & Lady - Rough Collies & Tramps a Lab/Alsatain cross were apart everyday life and my best friends. For the last five years I've regularly looked after friends' dogs, so I have become accustom to the different rhythms a dog can have, the ones who want a good long walk to settle, the ones who just want you near, the ones who take a little longer to trust a new face and the ones who don't. There's a particular kind of trust that builds slowly over time with an older animal too, a language of small signals, and a practice of paying real attention, which one learns to read. I've also shared my home with cats for most of my adult years, two of whom lived a good life all the way to 21 and 23, so I'm well practiced with the needs of aging pets generally, not just dogs. Right now I share my home with a 12 year old moggie/Norwegian Forest cat, who came to me as a rescue at six and settled beautifully once he felt safe. So I know what it is to live alongside family pets who have their own mind, their own rhythm, and their own way of letting you in. Whether it's a puppy full of energy or an old soul who moves a little slower these days, I meet each animal as they are. No rushing, no forcing, just quiet attentiveness and the kind of care I'd want for my own. If you're picturing your dog settled, unbothered, still themselves while you're away that's exactly what I'm here to give them. I am a self employed sound and movement coach and manage my own appointments & sessions accordingly, so bookings vary from day to day and at various times throughout the day.I also deliver my services online so can be at home so variety, flexibility is why looking after pets works in synergy with what I do, . I find out as much as possible about your pets likes & dislikes, habits and the things you know work well. I'm there to make sure that your home and pet is cared for as if you were there, so keeping things as normal and familiar as possible. favorite toys, sleeping & eating patterns. Discipline & routines eg, re allowed or not on furniture, sit & wait before receiving food. no begging or tip bits, etc.
“Iddy's been fantastic! She took the time before we travelled to come and meet Dobby, come on a walk etc. He took to her immediately. She's calm, responsible and reliable. We will definitely rebook with Iddy.”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with furry (and sometimes feathery!) friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, I've always understood how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved-especially when their humans are away. 🐶What I Offer Whether it's playtime in the garden, long walks in the park, or cozy cuddles on the sofa, I tailor my care to suit each pet's unique personality and needs. I want every animal to feel loved, and every owner to feel completely at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. 📸 Peace of Mind I know how comforting it is to receive updates while you're away, so I always send regular photos and messages to keep you connected with your pet's day-to-day adventures. 🦮Experience & References I've looked after pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and I'm happy to provide references from other happy owners. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a spirited spaniel, I'm here to give them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work from 9am to 3pm Monday to Thursday. I would be available for home visits before 9am and after 3pm. Friday to Sunday and all school holidays i am available throughout the day! I will follow your requirements for each and every pet. I would be happy to water plants, open or close windows and curtains, clean out litter boxes, feed and water bowls. All while giving your pet some love and attention!
About: I currently have a cat, who I have been the loving parent of and caring for, for 5 years now. I also grew up with Boxer dogs, helping to raise them, look after them and train them from the young age of junior school until and including now, nearly 20 years later! I get on very well with dogs and cats, I love to be around them and I’m more than happy to play, feed, and help in other ways. I’m very reliable and can have availability on short notice! I have a very flexible schedule as I can move most things around, and can be available at fairly last minute notice too. I don’t do any boarding but I’m happy to stay at your home in the day or overnight as well as (or alternatively) I can do drop in visits. Monday and Tuesday evenings as well as Tuesday mornings I cannot do but any other time is quite flexible. On the dog side: I have experience with larger breeds as well as puppy’s and very excitable and jumpy breeds. On the cat side: My cat was a rescue stray so I know all about giving them their time and space and I’m very understanding about how overwhelming changes can be for them. I would love too have a conversation about your furry friends needs so that I can provide the best care for them! I’m also more than happy to put medication on food but not to administer injections, inhalers or pill swallowing.
About: My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier! We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study. Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
About: I volunteered in a dog groomer parlour when I was younger, since then I have got my own dog whom I love dearly. I puppy trained her myself. I have been responsible for neighbours pets also, from cats and dogs to horses! I have just qualified as a paramedic and therefore have some time off where I am extremely flexible and would love to work with animals everyday. I live in an apartment but surrounded by greenery, it is lovely and cozy! I am more than happy to do walks, games and toilet breaks regularly! I also have a car and drive so can travel to pick up and drop off your fluffy friends.

“We booked Joshua to look after our dog Reuben during our daughter’s wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was kind, attentive, and wonderfully calm, exactly what Reuben needed on such a busy day. He kept us updated, made sure Reuben was comfortable and well cared for, and even helped him enjoy all the attention from curious guests. It gave us real peace of mind to know Reuben was in such good hands. We are very grateful and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. Thank you again!”
“Seb helped me with a few walks whilst we were on holiday recently. My dog can be reactive but got on very well with him and didn’t seem to have any issues. Intelligent and empathetic, good at taking on your routine. Seb was also good at coming back to me quickly as our plans changed slightly so will be using him again. Recommended.”
About: I have always been around animals, growing up my mum had her own pet sitting/ dog boarding business around 18 years ago which she did for 10 years. Therefore my school holidays I used to go along with her to help care for all sorts of animals, from pugs to bearded dragons! I then went onto have my own dog walking business when I was 15 which I did for 3 years. I've had numerous animal related jobs, kennels, dog groomers, pet shops and all have positively commented on how much of a natural I am around animals. I am now in my career job as airline cabin crew, however to get the both of best worlds, I have returned to my work with animals on days I'm not at 38,000ft! I care for all animals as if they are my own, and how I'd expect someone to treat my animals if they was in someone else's care. That is with love, affection, plenty of attention, and meeting all their individual needs, wether it is behavioural or extra tlc such as medication I am more than comfortable to cater for different needs. I am a short haul flight attendant however as winter draws in hours are less than higher season months, therefor I am very flexible and can care for pets on my days off/whilst working as hours are shorter. I treat each pet to its own individual needs, I believe all pets have their own differences, some need more time to trust people where as others may need more exercise or gentle love and care. With your home, I treat it with the same respect and morals I'd expect someone to stay in mine with, staying clean and organised.

“Sammy dog sat for us for 1 night as a trial to see if our dog would be happy and settled. We dropped him off on Wednesday evening and collected him on Thursday evening. Sammy was quick to reply to my check in messges. Geoff was well looked after and we are happy that Sammy has agreed to look after him again in a few months as we know he will be loved and well looked after in our absence.”
