“We recently hired Sofia to take care of our beloved dogs, Mindy and Buddy, while we attended a family wedding over the bank holiday weekend. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Sofia and her family looked after Mindy and Buddy brilliantly, providing them with all the care and attention they needed. We received frequent updates and photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy the wedding without any worries. It was clear that Sofia genuinely cared for our dogs and ensured they were happy and comfortable throughout our time away. We returned home to two very content and well-cared-for dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Sofia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Sofia, for taking such wonderful care of Mindy and Buddy!”
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.
“Anna was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The whole process was relaxed and easy, from the communication, the meet and greet to the boarding itself. Anna was quick to respond to any of my messages and sent me regular updates, pics and videos about how Spike was getting on while we were away. This was great for me as I've had a negative experience in the past. Anna and her husband Shaun took care of Spike for 5 nights, it was clear how well he was looked after, he had daily and interesting walks with their dog Joey and it was obvious he was treated as part of their family. He definitely the best time! I would 💯 recommend Anna if you are looking for a boarder. Smiling faces and wagging tails all round! Thank you Anna 😁”

Excellent feedback and communication when we were away and plenty of pup pics 📸 which was reassuring!!

Thank you so much for sitting for us, would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

Which is a complete relief to know someone was there for her while we went to a concert. Thank you so much Jennifer!!”
“Charlotte came to look after our 3 playful kitties and they clearly loved their time with her! She fed and played with them and kept us updated with lots of pictures of our furr babies. 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: My first pet was a cat when I was just 2 years old. She was beautiful, and had many litters of kittens! I even held her whilst she gave birth a few times! I also have experience with looking after sphinx cats and maintaining their specific care routine.
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: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had had the privilege of being both a cat and dog mum. I lived in Dubai for 10 years and this is where I had my first experience of taking in 3 rescue kittens, that I went onto adopt. Then my rescue desert dog, followed by many more. They all returned with me to the UK and lived long and happy lives. I’ve also been a dog walker and cat companion for the RSPCA. Whilst I don’t have my own pets at the moment, we have many in the family that I am called on to look after. I work for myself so am able to run my own diary and I’m able to fit any pet care services around my current responsibilities. Although I don’t currently offer pet boarding services in my own home. I have a fenced garden and internal doors that allow for the front door to be separated from the main living area.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and miss having my own, so I absolutely love looking after other people’s pets. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even rabbits - mostly for friends, family, and my own over the years. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding time, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help however I can.
“Maia thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I was able to relax as I was sent photos and videos of her showing that she was settled and happy. I will certainly be happy to send her away again knowing that she will be well cared for and instructions will be followed. Thank you.”

“Very happy with the service Sandy offered, Zak and Georgie both settled with her and Bruce, she gave me photos and updates and kept them very cool in the hot weather. Recommend to other dog owners. Thank you Sandy”
“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.”
“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: 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.
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.
“Oliwia has looked after my dog Betty twice now for day care. She is very patient with her, she takes her on long walks and looks after her really well. I would highly recommend her”
About: Previously a dog groomer, I'm very confident with young and senior dogs and understand they all have their own quirks and personalities. I work from home 95% of the time and if I'm not here my partner is able to work from home. I have an in tact male French bulldog myself who is super friendly and always looking for new friends.

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.
About: We all love dogs here, and dogs seem to like our relaxed house. We took a large dog that would pull your arm off, treated it like it was our child and it turned into the most loyal friend you could hope for. As myself and my husband work at different times, there is always someone at home to cater to doggie's needs. My husband goes for a walk every evening, and is missing Bruno when he does. We have a large, 30 metres, fenced in garden where dogs are free to play and run and fetch, and poop of course. And they can sleep where they are comfortable.
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!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have several years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and relatives, especially when they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, walking dogs, playtime, basic grooming and keeping pets company. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands. I work from home 2–3 days a week which gives me good flexibility for weekday drop-in visits and walks. On office days, I’m generally available in the mornings and evenings and I’m also happy to take weekend bookings. I’ll always try to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and playtime routine wherever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any routines, feeding instructions and care requirements you provide and make sure doors, gates and windows are kept secure. During walks, dogs will be kept safely on lead unless you specifically tell me otherwise. I also understand that some animals need more space or time to settle so I’ll always introduce them to a new environment calmly and at their own pace.

“Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.”

“Katie is a lovely caring person and the way she talks to my dog is fantastic. He loves his walks and is so happy when she comes to visit. It's hard to trust a stranger with your animals but she is just so fantastic with them and walking dogs isn't a job it's a hobby for her.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, settled and cared for when they’re away from home. I’m also a dog owner myself, with my very friendly Cockapoo, Winston. He loves meeting other dogs and having friends to play with! I’m confident with the day-to-day care dogs need, including walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and keeping to their usual routine. I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I can give dogs plenty of company, attention and time throughout the day. Walks, garden time, play and plenty of cuddles are all part of the day, with quieter periods for naps and relaxing. I’ll aim to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their usual walk and meal times. I’m also happy to accommodate different energy levels — whether your dog loves long walks and lots of play or is happier having a potter around the garden and curling up on the sofa. For dog walking and daycare, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention rather than simply being left to entertain themselves. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. We have a secure, enclosed garden and I’ll make sure doors, gates and outdoor areas are secure before letting dogs outside. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine and any particular needs before they stay, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can make sure you’re comfortable with me and Winston. Winston is a friendly and sociable Cockapoo who loves having other dogs around, but I’ll always supervise interactions and make sure every dog has space to settle and relax when they need it. I’ll also keep your emergency contact and vet details on hand and follow any instructions you provide around feeding, medication, walks and anything else your dog needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for Winston.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel right at home. My garden is fully fenced off and the inside of my home is cozy, clean and free of any potential hazards. Whether your let loves lounging in the sun or playing around in the garden, they'll have a safe and relaxing environment to enjoy.

I have 5 horses and my own private stable yard, i have only just lost my 17 and a half year old pom who used to come with me there. At home now i have 3 cats and 2 gerbils, at the yard i have 8 rescued pigeons. Animals have taken the forefront of my life and i wish to continue my passion into everyday work. I am up early every morning. I have 3 house cats at home who are fed and fresh trays. I then go to my horses, depending on jobs for the day ill pick up some of the dogs on route to walk over my fields or pop in to any holiday pets if they are on route. I custom fit my days to make sure all needs are prioritised accordingly. Most days are the same others are well coordinated. I will always use a rear entrance if possible, to decrease risks of escaping pets. When walking dogs i follow all uk guidelines, stick to safe areas and only allow dogs off lead in enclosed settings with perfect recall. I have many long lines to allow freedom with restriction. I can have dogs on the land where my horses are which is fully enclosed.
“Abi was a brilliant dog walker for our elderly springer spaniel who we have never left with anyone before. Having met up beforehand we felt reassured that all would go well and Abi was a caring and confident person with dogs. She did a wonderful job and we would definitely recommend her, friendly and reliable. If we ever need help again we’ll be straight in touch! Thanks again Abi!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and miss having my own, so I absolutely love looking after other people’s pets. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even rabbits—mostly for friends, family, and my own over the years. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding time, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help however I can. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I’m also happy to offer overnight care or stay at your home if needed. Weekends are fully open, and I’m more than happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Just let me know what works best for you. I always treat pets with the same love and care I’d give my own. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, or house rules you provide, and I make sure they feel calm, cared for, and never alone. I’m tidy, respectful, and keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had had the privilege of being both a cat and dog mum. I lived in Dubai for 10 years and this is where I had my first experience of taking in 3 rescue kittens, that I went onto adopt. Then my rescue desert dog, followed by many more. They all returned with me to the UK and lived long and happy lives. I’ve also been a dog walker and cat companion for the RSPCA. Whilst I don’t have my own pets at the moment, we have many in the family that I am called on to look after. I work for myself so am able to run my own diary and I’m able to fit any pet care services around my current responsibilities. Although I don’t currently offer pet boarding services in my own home. I have a fenced garden and internal doors that allow for the front door to be separated from the main living area.

“We recently hired Sofia to take care of our beloved dogs, Mindy and Buddy, while we attended a family wedding over the bank holiday weekend. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Sofia and her family looked after Mindy and Buddy brilliantly, providing them with all the care and attention they needed. We received frequent updates and photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy the wedding without any worries. It was clear that Sofia genuinely cared for our dogs and ensured they were happy and comfortable throughout our time away. We returned home to two very content and well-cared-for dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Sofia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Sofia, for taking such wonderful care of Mindy and Buddy!”
“Anna was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The whole process was relaxed and easy, from the communication, the meet and greet to the boarding itself. Anna was quick to respond to any of my messages and sent me regular updates, pics and videos about how Spike was getting on while we were away. This was great for me as I've had a negative experience in the past. Anna and her husband Shaun took care of Spike for 5 nights, it was clear how well he was looked after, he had daily and interesting walks with their dog Joey and it was obvious he was treated as part of their family. He definitely the best time! I would 💯 recommend Anna if you are looking for a boarder. Smiling faces and wagging tails all round! Thank you Anna 😁”
“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!”
“Bernie had a great time with Michelle! She sent plenty of pics and kept us updated on how he was getting on. I have no doubt we will be sending Bernie back to her in the future, definitely recommend.”
“Claire and her family are wonderful! Jeffrey was cared for as if he were there own. We received regular updates and saw that Jeffrey was happy throughout. Jeffrey was slightly unwell during the first few days which was unusual for him and quite worrying, however Claire kept us assured and we felt comfortable knowing he was being cared for so well. Would highly recommend Claire.”
About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs my whole life. I love being in their company on walks and seeing the joy it brings them. I’ve had Otis since he was a puppy, trained him well and look forward to him making new friends! I’m currently working part time, available Mondays, Thursdays and Weekends! I walk Otis twice a day around local woods, shoreline and large playing fields. I have a fenced in garden, 1 dog Otis who has access to most rooms and the garden. We play treat games for stimulation and have quiet time for naps.
“Mia had a great stay with Sophie. Updates throughout the day with photos and videos of her playing, walking and resting. Highly recommended Sophie and I have already booked Mia’s next stay.”
About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company. As we love to travel, we understand the stress of leaving our sweet angels behind, and you just want them to be as comfortable as possible and receive much love whilst you come back. Either me or my wife, or both will be taking care of your beautiful doggy. Although "young", we are very a responsible couple and will treat your pets just as ours ❤️ We both had our bulldog Khloe for 10 years, which is a very sensitive breed. We tought her how to potty train, a few commands. We also took care of her health, medication, water intake, meals, etc everything you do for a pet! My wife also pet and house sit houses in México before starting University and I've sat the cats of my parents around 10 times a year. They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet. We have a large fenced garden which will allow your pet to explore should they so wish. We can also offer beds in each room and a variety of toys. We are also happy to provide meals and approved snacks and make sure they are hydrated during the day. Please be assured we will make your pet feel at home.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, settled and cared for when they’re away from home. I’m also a dog owner myself, with my very friendly Cockapoo, Winston. He loves meeting other dogs and having friends to play with! I’m confident with the day-to-day care dogs need, including walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and keeping to their usual routine. I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I can give dogs plenty of company, attention and time throughout the day. Walks, garden time, play and plenty of cuddles are all part of the day, with quieter periods for naps and relaxing. I’ll aim to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their usual walk and meal times. I’m also happy to accommodate different energy levels — whether your dog loves long walks and lots of play or is happier having a potter around the garden and curling up on the sofa. For dog walking and daycare, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention rather than simply being left to entertain themselves. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. We have a secure, enclosed garden and I’ll make sure doors, gates and outdoor areas are secure before letting dogs outside. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine and any particular needs before they stay, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can make sure you’re comfortable with me and Winston. Winston is a friendly and sociable Cockapoo who loves having other dogs around, but I’ll always supervise interactions and make sure every dog has space to settle and relax when they need it. I’ll also keep your emergency contact and vet details on hand and follow any instructions you provide around feeding, medication, walks and anything else your dog needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for Winston.
“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”
“Michaela and family did a great job looking after our nervous labrador. Our dog was so relaxed when we collected her she walked back in Mechaela's house rather than leave with me! We had lots of photos throughout our dogs stay so we could see she was happy and relaxed.”
“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.”
“Emily looked after our cockapoo, Kevin, and took such great care of him! We cannot thank Emily enough for looking after him so well and providing regular updates with photos. We would not hesitate to book again!”
