I had daily photos sent to stop and worry.. All in all fantastic. I will be using Erika again for future holidays and days away that I cannot take Thor with me.”

Let me know if you would like me to make any changes or additions!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Rianna and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with cats. She took the time to understand Billy’s routine, personality, and any little quirks, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, she sent regular updates with photos and messages, which made such a difference and reassured me that my cat was happy and well cared for. It was clear she didn’t just come in to feed and leave. Rianna spent quality time playing, giving attention, and making sure everything was clean and comfortable. When I returned home, Billy was relaxed and content, and everything was exactly as I’d left it. It’s such a relief to know I can trust someone to care for Billy and home so reliably.

About: I’m currently working my way into the animal care industry. I’ve always loved animals, both wild and domestic. I have a lot of free time at the moment so I’d love to spend it wisely and productively so what better way to do so by pet sitting a neighbour in need. There are many cats in my area, some strays and others belong to neighbours but they somehow always find their way in our home and make it their own due to all the love and attention they find here.
About: I have around 1 year of experience cat sitting for friends. I am confident with feeding and administering basic care, and spending quality time playing with and comforting cats. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I always aim to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

I’ve also had dogs all my life and I have an elderly dachshund called Lacey who is so laidback and likes to play. I’m home all day so will be with your pet the whole time.

About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.
“Poppy had a lovely first visit with Mandy. She came home relaxed and happy and had obviously been well cared for. Mandy kept in touch with messages and photos which was very reassuring for me. I will happily book Mandy when I need care for Poppy again.”

She’s 6 full of personality, sleepy with a panache for snorts. I have experience with rescues too having looked after Luna, a Romanian rescue who I walked almost everyday (when she was ready to), for 2.5 years. I am patient and will love and cuddle every dog as if they were my own. I am a freelance creative so I wfh most of the week. I go for regular walks and am an avid runner if your dog loves a run :) My garden is fenced with a high up lock so no nifty pet can unlock. I have baby gates if needed for pets who are not good with stairs.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) based in Milton Keynes, offering calm, reliable, and compassionate care for pets of all ages. I’ve spent years working closely with animals, and I love creating a safe, relaxed environment where they feel understood and genuinely cared for. My RVN background means I’m confident supporting pets with medication, senior‑pet needs, post‑operative routines, and recognising early signs of stress or illness. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has specific medical or behavioural needs, I adapt my care to suit them. I can also follow and carry out your training routine. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive, and I always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. If you’d like to chat or arrange a meet‑and‑greet, I’d be happy to hear from you. I keep a flexible weekly routine, which allows me to fit pet care in comfortably and reliably. I plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and any extra needs. I’m also available for morning walks, which many pets enjoy as part of their routine. I never overbook, so your pet always gets calm, focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home: I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and settled. I take time to understand their habits, feeding schedule, favourite spots, and any medical or behavioural needs. As an RVN, I’m confident recognising early signs of stress or discomfort, and I always prioritise calm, gentle handling. I keep your home tidy and secure, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home: I provide a quiet, relaxed environment with plenty of space for pets to settle in. I only take pets from one family at a time, so your pet receives my full attention and never has to worry about overcrowding or unfamiliar animals. I also have a very friendly resident cat who used to be a clinic cat — he’s calm, social, and used to meeting new animals in a gentle, controlled way. Introductions are always slow and safe, and I only allow interactions if everyone is comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first. I use my RVN experience to ensure safe handling, clean environments, and careful monitoring, while keeping everything warm, patient, and reassuring. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable space where pets feel secure and understood.

“It is a first time we used the dog walker for our doggo Blue. Both myself and my partner were worried to let stranger to our house and to meet our dog. Kendall was very opened and keen to met us before arranging anything to answer all questions and make plan that would work for both sides. Blue showed his character towards him, but nothing that Kandell couldn’t handle. Kandell is genuinely animal lover and we felt safe giving him care of our furry baby. Definitely recommend and will be using Kendall’s service again.”

I like treating all dogs as my own children and they are free to go anywhere around the house; there’s a place for them to rest in every room but if you prefer, I can easily crate or separate your dog if needed or desired.
About: I am great at training puppies and dogs with behavioural support needs. Also enjoy developing a great relationship with regular dogs that I care for & The extended family it’s all part of the experience. Available quite a lot of the time as I normally work in and around from home. So mostly available during working hours, and on holidays. I have a safe and clean house with a 6 foot fence garden with toys and great parks nearby for walks and red ways for great exercise!
About: Hi, My name is Jess and I have been dog walking professionally for 3 years and before that doing it on a ad-hoc basis while I was studying. I've always had a passion for animals and have been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they needed assistance with their pets. I love taking dogs for walks and caring for cats whenever I can. When I meet a pet for the first time, I make it a priority to learn all about them—their routine, habits, and personality and any health issues. Understanding these aspects is essential for me and making sure that the pet feels comfortable with me. This allows me to provide the best care possible, tailored to their individual needs. When I take a dog for a walk, I make it a point to provide a well-rounded experience. I ensure they get plenty of exercise while also allowing them to sniff and explore their environment, as that’s just as crucial as letting them run freely. One of my favorite activities is playing the “find it” game with treats. It’s a fantastic way to help them settle down after all the excitement of running around! I have a certificate of attendance that I have completed a CPD accredited activity in dog first aid and emergency canine care. I also carry a first kit around with me. As I'm currently living in a flat sadly I don't have a dog of my own but do have 3 fishes all named Gus! Known as the Gus's my wonderful guppy fish. Along side my fish I also share custody of the family dog Pumba (mini Yorkie 11 years old!) who is a lovable dog but lacks a braincell expect when it comes to food! When I was younger we had many family pets including hampers, degus and a very grumpy rabbit. So I would be willing to pet sit for your small furry friends. Looking forward to hearing from you, Jess I'm a self employed dog walker so this is my day to day which I love! I'm available all week to help with your pets. When I take care of your pet in your home I make sure I follow their routine to keep them as happy and calm as possible.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog, providing plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“My nervous female greyhound, Pip, was so well cared for by Lucie, who was calm and understanding to her needs. Before leaving Pip for a week, we arranged two trial days (one overnight), which really helped. Lucie made notes of Pip’s usual routines and kept closely to them, providing me with daily updates and photos. I’ll definitely be happy to leave Pip with Lucie again as I felt that the care she provided was outstanding.”
“So friendly and helpful. Honey loves staying here and I would recommend Orsi to anyone. Orsi does everything she can to be flexible and nothing is too much trouble. Photos are so lovely to receive and Honey is very well looked after giving me peace of mind! Thank you Orsi”
“Julie, her husband and her lovely dog, Chester, made our doggie Evie so welcome. Evie had a lovely time going for long walks and snuggling by the fire. She had lots of cuddles and fuss. She kept us updated every day with messages and photos. We will definitely use Julie again.”

Trust & patience is crucial to building a relationship and looking after your pet safely.
“We had a fantastic experience with Michelle (Shelley). She looked after our puppy last night, and he came home absolutely happy and settled.

“Chloe was lovely to deal with and very accommodating. We needed to book in at short notice and without time for a meet and greet prior. However she was very reassuring and kind and I had no hesitation leaving my dog with her. When I arrived she was very keen to understand my dog’s needs and sent me photos to keep me updated. We would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring, warm and friendly dog sitter who has an adorable dog of her own to keep your furry friend company!”
“Sabine really is the perfect 2nd mum for our dog nova! I say mum because she cares about all the dogs in her care as if they were hers. I’m so pleased to have found Sabine. The updates were lovely and nova had the best time with Sabine, Tom and her fury friends. Thanks again! See you soon xxx”
“Would 1,000,000% book again. Tim’s first time being left with someone he isn’t familiar with since we’ve had him. Lourdes, your regular updates were fab and the kindness and compassion you showed towards him was really meaningful for us. Especially as we were unsure if he would settle. Thank you so much. Tim had a lovely time and clearly felt very comfortable being with you!”
“We are really happy with the care Rambo received at Terry’s. We were initially worried as he is never stayed out, but he was taken care of really well. We highly recommend Terry to everyone!”
“Rosy looked after our bouncy 1 year old Vislador Luna for 9 days and she was fantastic! Luna was clearly very well cared for and loved with lots of cuddles, exercise and treats. She was extremely flexible and happy to follow any rules or habits Luna already had and was incredibly generous with her time, patience and house. Luna and her dogs were firm friends by the end of her stay and she was treated as one of the family. We got loads of pictures and updates while we were away so we needn’t worry about her at all. We would have no hesitation recommending Rosy and will definitely send Luna back to stay again.”
“Sinem responded to our crisis when we unfortunately got let down 4 weeks before our holiday. Our Sproodle, Webster, had a lovely time with Sinem and seemed to be happy when we picked him up. Got some lovely photos whilst we were away to see how he was doing. So I would be happy to recommend Sinem to others that want a dog boarding service.”
“Nellie is an Excellent Dog Sitter, Very Friendly, Helpful & was updated on how my dog was doing. Buddy was really happy when I picked him up & I would use this sitter again without hesitation. Thank you again.”
About: I've had dogs since I was about 10, with a variety of breeds including a bearded collie, retrievers, a cross-bred rescue and my all time favourites, labradors. I enjoyed helping my parents train guide dogs too, and have used those skills many times over the years, helping train friend’s dogs when there was a need. I've also got plenty of experience looking after other people's dogs, as friends have often asked me to either babysit, drop in or fully take in their dogs when they've been away, something I've always been very happy to do, the latest being a fun mix with a shitshu with attitude and his very laid back buddy, an Alsatian😄 I don't have dogs of my own at the moment, however I would love to help other dogs if needed and is something I really enjoy doing, sometimes along with my partner. We are both very outdoorsy and love a dog walk, in all weathers! I'm available to help with any services for dogs at weekends (Fri evenings through to Sunday evenings) as I work full time in the week. We live in a house which has a large enclosed garden, and at all times, the utmost care is obviously given, with all rules and requests strictly adhered to. Photos will happily be provided, and I aim to please! As far as I'm concerned, anything else is unacceptable, as it's how I'd want my pets looked after.
“Sunny was absolutely fantastic with our three dogs - it was our first time leaving them with a pet sitter and we were a bit nervous, but Sunny put our minds at ease straight away. He constantly sent us updates and photos, took them on lovely long walks and even managed to keep them behaving themselves! 🐾 Would definitely recommend - our pups had a good time! We will definitely be booking him again soon”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) based in Milton Keynes, offering calm, reliable, and compassionate care for pets of all ages. I’ve spent years working closely with animals, and I love creating a safe, relaxed environment where they feel understood and genuinely cared for. My RVN background means I’m confident supporting pets with medication, senior‑pet needs, post‑operative routines, and recognising early signs of stress or illness. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has specific medical or behavioural needs, I adapt my care to suit them. I can also follow and carry out your training routine. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive, and I always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. If you’d like to chat or arrange a meet‑and‑greet, I’d be happy to hear from you. I keep a flexible weekly routine, which allows me to fit pet care in comfortably and reliably. I plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and any extra needs. I’m also available for morning walks, which many pets enjoy as part of their routine. I never overbook, so your pet always gets calm, focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home: I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and settled. I take time to understand their habits, feeding schedule, favourite spots, and any medical or behavioural needs. As an RVN, I’m confident recognising early signs of stress or discomfort, and I always prioritise calm, gentle handling. I keep your home tidy and secure, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home: I provide a quiet, relaxed environment with plenty of space for pets to settle in. I only take pets from one family at a time, so your pet receives my full attention and never has to worry about overcrowding or unfamiliar animals. I also have a very friendly resident cat who used to be a clinic cat — he’s calm, social, and used to meeting new animals in a gentle, controlled way. Introductions are always slow and safe, and I only allow interactions if everyone is comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first. I use my RVN experience to ensure safe handling, clean environments, and careful monitoring, while keeping everything warm, patient, and reassuring. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable space where pets feel secure and understood.

I currently have a boxer dog and previously cared for another, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, strong breeds and understand the attention, exercise, and patience they need.

I’m reliable, attentive, and have a flexible schedule, including weekends, to provide loving care for your pets. I typically have weekends fully free and can have a flexible schedule during the week. I am currently a medical student, which means I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at following precise routines. My flexible timetable makes it easy for me to visit your home for walks or check-ins exactly when your pet needs them. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your routine, ensure all doors and gates are secure, and never leave them unattended. I am highly respectful of your space and keep it tidy.
