“We needed someone to look after Pablo 'last minute' and Jing was quick to respond and really helped us out. Lots of updates while we were away and Pablo was well looked after and clearly enjoyed himself 🙂”
“Clare and her husband were wonderful with our old dog, not familiar with anywhere other than home. I really appreciated their flexibility, taking him at the last minute, and letting me know how he was getting on. I’m extremely grateful”
“Luciane provided a convenient reliable boarding service. I enjoyed seeing the WhatsApp vids of my dog Pepper on her walkies each day. Luciane caters for lots of dogs at one time so they are exposed to a lot of socialising.”
“Claire and her family (and gentle dog Coco) looked after our springerpoo Tara for 10 days this summer. Tara can be a bit anxious when staying somewhere new, but we felt very comfortable leaving her with them - and were sent regular updates and photos throughout, assuring us that she was having the best time. Claire is warm and friendly, and obviously loves dogs - and I can thoroughly recommend her.”
“Chris and Charlotte have been so accommodating and welcoming to our 21 week old puppy Darci, this was her first sleep over and she had the best time! Charlotte sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the time Darci was with them which was brilliant. I felt so happy and relaxed knowing our puppy was being cared for the same as I would care for her! 😁❤️”
“Eevee had a fantastic stay with Emma! Our 4.5month old Vizsla puppy, Eevee had her first night away from us as a trial stay with Emma. Understandably we were nervous but Emma really eased our apprehension, giving us regular updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures & videos of Eevee having just the best time! She clearly loved playing (or maybe just bothering haha) Archie and Pippa and Emma really took special care to ensure Eevee’s usual schedule was kept to and met all her high-maintenance puppy needs. We feel safe in the knowledge that when Eevee next stays with Emma, for our 5day holiday, she will not only be safe and well looked after, but she will be happy to be there with Emma, Archie & Pippa 🥰”
“Robinand Betsy took excellent care of our two small dogs. They were very relaxed about having them in their home and allowed them to sleep in their beds upstairs which must have been a comfort to them. Robin sent us gorgeous pictures of their adventures. We were very pleased with the care.”
“Brody clearly had a great time with Lisa. We got some lovely updates to see how he was getting on. He’s very much looking forward to returning and we’re glad we have found someone we feel very happy leaving him with 🥰”
“Ruby had a fantastic time staying with Deanne, she was absolutely shattered when she got home! The communication and regular photos were brilliant so we knew she was happy and settled. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much.”
“Olivia and Harry had my two dogs while we were away on holiday for 5 nights. My two dogs had the best time playing with Olivia, Harry and their two labradors and were treated as one of the family. They were taken on some wonderful walks and had lots of cuddles at home. They sent lots of photos and videos while I was away, so I knew they were having the best time, and I didn’t worry one bit while I was away (which is a big thing for me to say as I’m such a worrier). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to send my boys and have already been recommending Olivia and Harry to friends. Thank you both so much!”
“Absolutely amazing! I had regular updates and photos sent to me, she was truly loved by Quentin and his partner, they treated her like their own and was so relaxed when she came back. Have already booked back in!”
“I was super scared to leave my rescued—super reactive— dog with anyone. I had never, in fact. The meet and greet with Amanda was amazing. From minute one, my dog felt at ease. After that, it was no difficult for me to leave them alone foe the day. Amanda sent me comments, pics and even videos to keep my peace of mind. My dog was sleeping with her on the sofa, not a worry in the world. The whole process has been easy and smooth. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“Our cat went to stay with Stacey for a week, she did a wonderful job of taking care of him, even went out of her way to get him to eat when he decided not too. We got sent some pictures which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Stacey in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Can massively recommend Sophie and Ash! Our dog Poppy had a brilliant time, was really well looked after and came back worn out (in a good way!). Sophie was fantastic at keeping in touch and sending regular updates and photos which we really appreciated.”
“Fabulous from start to finish! Megan was efficient, friendly and clearly loved the dogs along with her partner Craig. They asked lots of questions about feeding, routine etc. when we arrived - and the dogs had a terrific time whilst they were there (certainly judging by lots of piccies sent to us!). The facilities are perfect for doggie care and Craig and Megan are just the best carers. Will definitely book again..... Thank you both.”
“Emmanuel and Jo took our 1 yr old puppy for 4 nights boarding at short notice and we are very grateful to them for looking after him so well! He's a very active dog and they took him out several times a day for walks and runs, kept him busy and occupied with new experiences. They kept us informed every day with photos letting us know what they'd been doing and made sure our dog felt comfortable at all times. Communication was great and we'd love to have them sit again if our dog wasn't too much for them! Thank you both 🙏”
“Leo really had the best time with Amanda and Jeremy and Bailey the sweetest spaniel. They took the time to make sure Leo would be comfortable with them and Bailey and It really felt like nothing was too much trouble. We got lots of photos during his stay. Now when my husband walks past their house Leo literally tries to drag him in. We would 1000% recommend them.”
“Jackie and family were so great with our Spaniel, they only had her interests at heart and gave her so much attention. We definitely recommend them and will be using them again (hopefully) they took her on all kinds of adventures and catered for her every need. House is lovely and secure and we didn’t have a worry at all about leaving the dog with them.”

“Connie was excellent! She took great care of Sunny while I was away on holiday and kept me regularly updated with photos and messages so I never had to worry. Highly recommended – thank you, Connie”
“Our four cats were so well cared for while we were away! Daily updates with photos gave us complete peace of mind. Each cat’s unique personality and needs were clearly understood and respected, from feeding to playtime and cuddles. We returned to happy, relaxed cats! Highly recommend Carolina! ”
“First time using a cat sitter for my cats, so was very nervous of what to expect, Ella was very patient with my two, kept me updated on her visits, sent enough photos to keep my worries at bay, listened to their dietary requirements, kept them entertained, cleaned up after them, which honestly wasn’t expected at all! Thank you so much for everything! I would really recommended Ella 110%! Thank you for making the first time we’ve left them, a calm and positive one! We will definitely use you in the future when we need a cat sitter! From Laura, Josh Socks and Marmies x”
“Jenna was so great with my cat! I had daily updates which were very informative and could tell he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for catsitting!”
“Fantastic Pet visits by Nadia- thank you! Our first time using the Rover Service and super impressed with the ease of arranging. Pumpkin our cat was relaxed and happy on our return- all his needs were met. So happy he got to play whilst we were away for a few days. Would highly recommend Nadia who is a dedicated animal lover. I hope she is available for future visits in 2026…”
“Veronica is an excellent cat sitter! The cats loved her. I especially valued her communication skills and daily updates. There were a couple of small issues, like one cat suddenly had stopped eating her favourite food, but we managed to sort it all out remotely. I felt that the cats were in very good hands, and will book again. ”
“Alina was amazing! From the introductory meeting through the end of her visits, she was extremely communicative. I get very anxious leaving my cat, but Alina’s updates and photos helped calm my anxiety. She really went above and beyond. And Nutmeg loved her! 😻”
About: I believe what sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and understanding I bring to every pet I look after. As a teacher, I’m naturally patient, reliable, and highly organised, which means you can trust that your pet will be safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention. I have experience working with a range of needs, including young pets who require consistency, basic training, and lots of energy, as well as older pets who may need a gentler approach, medication, or extra comfort and reassurance. I’m confident reinforcing routines, supporting basic training (such as lead walking or simple commands), and adapting my care to suit each individual animal. I also understand how important communication is, so I make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have experience with cats from kitten to senior care. I have two cats of my own and experience with wound care, giving pills, and giving oral medication. I love cats and making sure they have some company as well when their humans are out.
About: I have been a dog owner since my early childhood. I have experience looking after puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently have a very energetic dog that requires lots of walks. She is very friendly and misses a lot her companion, our dachshund that passed away 3 years ago. I am in full time employment, however I work from home twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I am also available for dog walks and pet sitting most weekends. I can house and pet sit or do drop in visits as and when needed provided it is within a driving distance and detailed instructions are provided with regards to pet care if your pet has custom requirements.
About: I've owned and cared for cats for about 15 years. Cats, like most pets, are unique and so special. Each cat has their own unique personality, preferences and quirks. I'm comfortable adapting to each cat's needs and routine. Whether your cat is sociable and affectionate or a little more reserved, I'll take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud owner of four cats, so I know that every cat has their own personality, routine and individual needs. I’ve cared for my four for up to eight years, and their very different personalities have taught me how to adapt my care to each cat. 🐱 Nugget, my 8 year old Siberian boy, has a heart condition and needs daily medication, so I’m experienced and confident with giving medication carefully and keeping to a cat’s health routine. 🐱 Cloud, my 8 year old Persian, is quite shy and prefers to take his time getting comfortable. 🐱 Frida, my 7 year old Exotic Persian, is the complete opposite, she loves attention and is a real lap cat! 🐱 Rosie, my 6 year old Sphynx, is energetic and playful, so she needs plenty of interaction and playtime. I’m used to understanding these different personalities and making sure each cat gets the kind of care that makes them feel happy and secure, whether that's playtime, cuddles, treats, quiet companionship or simply giving them space. I’m also very hands-on with grooming. I regularly groom all four of my cats, trim their fur and nails when needed, and care for Rosie’s Sphynx skin with a weekly bath, so I’m comfortable handling cats who may need a little extra care with grooming or hygiene. Most importantly, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your cat with someone. I treat every cat as an individual and want them to feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. I’ll follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your cat is being well cared for. 🐾❤️

“Lisa did a fantastic job looking after my two dogs. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and they both were very happy,and well cared for when I got back. Really appreciated the photo updates too.”
“It is our first time having someone outside of family look after Bone-Ivar, so it was really reassuring to get lots of updates throughout the day to see how he was getting on, it was clear to see he had lots of attention and was well cared for. Communication was excellent and Charlotte and Chris were really flexible. Boney is already looking forward to his next time.”
About: Hi, I’m Emma! 🐾 I’m an experienced dog owner with two friendly rescue dogs and a real passion for providing safe, enriching and loving care. Whether your dog joins us for a walk, daycare or an overnight stay, they’ll receive the same care, attention and affection as my own dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals and was fortunate enough to help train guide dog puppies, which developed my understanding of patience, positive reinforcement and dog behaviour. I now have two amazing rescue dogs who are both neutered, friendly and love meeting other dogs. We enjoy lots of walks and adventures, so your dog will have plenty of exercise and enrichment. I also believe mental stimulation is just as important, and love teaching tricks, reinforcing commands and encouraging good manners through positive training. Your dog may even come home having learnt a new skill! 🐶 My aim is to make every owner feel completely at ease while they’re away. I provide regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and enjoying their own little holiday too. ❤️ 🐾 Before booking To help me provide safe and appropriate care, please confirm: • The date of your dog’s most recent vaccinations • The date of their most recent flea treatment • The date of their most recent worming treatment I’m always happy to discuss any individual needs, routines, dietary requirements or medication your dog may have. 📅 Booking enquiries I’m currently receiving several enquiries for upcoming dates. To keep things fair, dates are confirmed on a first-come, first-confirmed basis and cannot be held indefinitely. If you’d like to secure your dates, please get in touch and I’ll be very happy to discuss your booking and arrange a meet-and-greet. 🐾 I work a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular walks and enrichment throughout the day. I like to keep the dogs’ days varied and relaxed, with daily mental stimulation activities such as enrichment feeding and simple training. Most days, the door is open for the dogs to enjoy the garden throughout the day, giving them the freedom to go outside, explore or simply relax in the fresh air. After their morning walk and some enrichment, my own dogs are usually very happy to spend much of the day snoozing — and I’m perfectly happy to let them enjoy a peaceful nap! 🐶💤 I aim to create a home-from-home environment where dogs can follow a comfortable routine, with a balance of exercise, play, enrichment, companionship and plenty of downtime. 🚗 Walks & pick-ups For walks and pick-ups, I have an estate car fitted with a dog guard, providing a secure and practical way to transport dogs. I also come prepared with my own dog-walking kit, including poo bags, treats and toys. I carry a 10m long line for dogs who may need a little extra freedom while still having a secure connection, particularly those who are still working on their recall.
“Another happy pooch and another set of pleased pawrents. An afternoon and evening stay with Jing, Updates and photos provided. Replies sent promptly. Can't ask for anything more.”
“This was Cooper's 1st visit to Robin and Betsy's house and it was very successful. He was welcomed with enthusiasm into their home and it was clear that he'd had a good time as he was very chilled and relaxed when we collected him. They are a very friendly couple with an obvious love of dogs so we feel totally confident leaving Cooper with them. We look forward to future stays and hope that this is the start of a good relationship for us all.”
“Orla had a great time with Junior and Fabiana! She enjoyed her nice long walks, gets along really well with Blu and comes home a very happy girl every time. They’ve also been really flexible even with last minute requests, highly recommend 😊”
“Alice was absolutely great with my 8 month lab puppy. She was quick to respond and organise the booking when I had found myself without a sitter for Ada and needed to go onsite for work. I received updates and photos on the day and pup was happy and very tired from her day when I picked her up! :) definitely would recommend!”
“Michandra was so good with Poppy. Poppy was very nervous because she is not used to different homes. Michandra quickly assessed the situation, gave her a few short walks to settle her and help her relax. I appreciated receiving a few messages and photos in the day as that reassured me. I am so pleased that I can have Michandra's help in the future.”
“Megan and Craig are absolutely lovely. We had a meet and greet with them first, with our puppy. They’re really enthusiastic, relaxed and clearly love dogs, even boisterous puppies like ours! So we felt confident in them immediately. This was our puppy, Crumpet’s, first time of being left for the day without one of us, and Megan was really understanding and supported/looked after Crumpet really well and Crumpet seemed very happy at Megan’s house. We’ll definitely be booking Megan and Craig again.”
“Olivia stepped up at short notice and took lovely care of our little excitable dog. She had a great time playing with her dogs and a delightful day all round. Will definitely book again!”
About: I love pets and have 6 of my own. I worked for We love Pets for a couple of years and trained in pet first aid. Two dogs one small breed terrier that’s full of energy and absolutely ball crazy. My second dog is a lab already a old girl and the gentle giant in the family. Then there is four cats of different sizes and temperament making up a lot of experience with pets all around. I walk my own dogs for an hour at 6am and then again in the evening. I have time every afternoon to walk as my pups get too tired having two walks a day already. I enjoy walks in parks and high energy playful dogs as well. Especially if it includes ball throwing. If your fur baby has any quirks or specific requirements then just let me know in advance. I currently work with pets full time and have a great relationship with my customers. I can do walks every day depending on my schedule. I have a fenced in garden and lovely walks near my home. Also a large crate available for dogs that nap better in a crate.
About: Growing up with plenty of time spent in the countryside, animals have always been a big part of my life. Long walks and hikes with friends and family almost always included a dog or two, so having dogs around has always felt very natural to me. My partner and I both care for dogs, and together we offer a genuine family home environment, where dogs are welcomed as part of the family rather than simply being looked after. Our aim is for every dog to feel as though they are staying in a second home: somewhere safe, relaxed, familiar and full of companionship. There is always a dog in our home, which means visiting dogs can have the opportunity to socialise and enjoy canine companionship throughout their stay, where appropriate and depending on their personality. We also have three children aged 7–10, so our home has a lovely family atmosphere with plenty of gentle attention and interaction. At the same time, we understand that some dogs need quiet time and space, and we always respect their individual needs. One of the things we particularly love about where we live is that our back door gives us direct access to beautiful walking routes. Between my partner and me, we are regularly out walking anyway, so having another four-legged companion to join us is always a pleasure. We also believe that the best way to help a dog settle is to keep their normal routine as much as possible. Before their stay, we like to understand their usual habits — when they eat, walk and sleep, what they enjoy, how they behave around other dogs and children, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. We then do our best to follow the owner’s routine and instructions, so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. Most importantly, your dog’s wellbeing comes first. We want them to feel safe, loved, relaxed and included, whether that means going for walks and playing with our dog, spending time with the family, or simply curling up somewhere cosy for a nap. We know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away, so we’re always happy to send regular photos and messages so you can see that your dog is happy and enjoying their stay. Ultimately, our goal is simple: to give your dog a loving home-from-home experience, with companionship, family life, plenty of walks, attention, playtime, cuddles — and a routine that feels as close to their own as possible. Between my partner and me, there is almost always someone at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We have the flexibility to make sure dogs have plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We’re both naturally active and regularly head out for walks, with a lovely walking route right on our doorstep. This makes morning, daytime and evening walks easy to fit around each dog’s usual routine and energy levels. When we’re at home, they’re very much part of everyday life with us — whether that means playtime, relaxing together, pottering around the house or plenty of cuddles! We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, relaxed and part of the family. We have a secure, fenced back garden as well as a spacious house and annex, giving dogs plenty of room to roam around, play, relax and find a cosy spot when they want some quiet time. As we often care for more than one dog, we can only welcome dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. We also have three children who absolutely love dogs and enjoy playing and cuddling with them, so it’s essential that any dog staying with us is happy, gentle and confident around children. We’re an active household and go for a good long walk every day — as much for our exercise as the dogs’! We also tailor walks, playtime and downtime to each dog’s needs, age and energy levels. Most importantly, we treat the dogs staying with us as part of the family, with lots of attention, affection, playtime and plenty of space to feel at home.
About: Hi! I'm a huge dog lover and, together with my husband Jon, we provide a safe, loving home-from-home for dogs. We share our home with our friendly Goldendoodle, George, and our two dog-loving children (aged 10 and 13), so visiting dogs become part of our family while they're with us. I've owned dogs for the past seven years, including a Cocker Spaniel and now George, and I also grew up with a family sheepdog. This has given me experience with different breeds, personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every dog is unique. We live an active lifestyle and love getting outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a gentle stroll or even a run, I'm happy to tailor their exercise to suit their age, energy level and individual needs. I'd love the opportunity to welcome your dog into our family and give them the same love and care that we give George. As I work from home full-time, your dog will have plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day. We walk George three times a day so are regularly out and about. I'll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, helping them feel relaxed, secure and at home while you're away. In terms of availability, I can be flexible with most days and times for boarding and walks, given a few weeks notice. - We have a fenced back garden - We can accommodate your dogs sleeping needs (e.g. crate trained or not) - I have experience caring for anxious dogs and understand the importance understanding each dogs needs, patience, consistency and reassurance. - I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, well cared for and having a great time. Building trust and a genuine bond with every dog is really important to me. I love spending time playing, enriching and having fun with dogs, and I use a positive, reward-based approach to help them feel happy and confident.
About: Animal lover, dog mum and professional treat giver! I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know every pet’s individual personality, whether they’re a cuddly sofa potato, an energetic adventurer or a little bit of a diva. 😂 I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention and, of course, the occasional well earned treat! 🦴 I’m reliable, caring and happy to keep you updated with photos and little adventures while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is having a lovely time too. 🐾❤️ I’ve been around dogs since I was born, varying from different sizes, from German Shepards to Jack Russels. I love animals with my entire heart. My husband has also had the same upbringing, mostly training and having Great Dane’s. We now have our own little 2 year old Jack Russell dog who we love so much. If your dog stays with us, they’ll have the most fun playing in our big garden and cuddling on the sofa. We are very knowledgeable with what dogs need, so let us know any requirements and we’ll be happy to implement them. I work from home so I’ll be with your baby all day. I work full time from home, I wake up early for walkies (with lots of treats) then home for food and cuddles, I’m around all day for play time and the garden is always accessible for them. Dogs are apart of the family so If owners are okay with it, they’re allowed on all the furniture and on the bed, if they’re crate trained, we’re happy for them to sleep there I have a fenced, secure garden with a super friendly and sweet lively Jack Russell. The dogs will never be left alone and walks are always in safe secure areas.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I'm very young. My passion for dogs has always been strong and I'm my happiest self when I'm around them! I have a family dog at home, a cocker spaniel, who's 13 years old and that unfortunately I don't see regularly due to me living in the UK for 8 years now. Before moving to England, I looked after him, walked him multiple times a day and played nonstop! I miss him dearly and I would love to give the same treatment to other dogs out there. If you give me an opportunity I would put my heart in this and you won't regret it. I'm currently studying my last year at uni, and I really miss being around my dog, who is with my family in Spain, so I thought it would be a good idea to give my love to other dogs meanwhile! I work only one day a week, on Sundays, I have Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays available. And if you need for me to take care of you dog at night I would also be able to! I would love to spend my free time being around dogs and taking care of them as if it was my own! Although I live in a small flat and I don't have garden or terrace, I do live near big fields here in cumnor hill so I can give long walks! I can travel by bus or walk and I would be more than happy to, if you need me to go to yours.

“Nadia has been walking Kobi for about month She has been really patient and understanding with all our needs. As a rescue Kobi comes with some sensitivities and reactions. Nadia has been kind and gentle with him. She is quick to respond to messages and reliable. She has helped us out at short notice and has a good understanding of dog behaviour and is willing to accommodate Kobis needs which is a lovely quality that we really appreciate. Kobis much more than 'just a dog' to us and she's been sensitive reassuring and non judgemental . Thankyou Nadia. So glad we found you”

About: Hello, You can be assured your furry friend will be looked after very well. I've grown up with lots of furry friends and have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, chickens, ducks, geese and a whole host of furry pals. They are beautiful animals with souls of their own and I try to understand their 'silent' communication with us. While I care for your furry pal, give them comfort and make them feel relaxed, content and exercised, you can go on holiday safe in the knowledge they will be looked after. IMPORTANT NOTES: New clients: I only accept house-sitting bookings for 7+ I can walk your pals, but need a regular booking not just a one-off 1 or 2 day house-sitting bookings are not possible. I need to justify the mileage to your home and back. Included in the daily fee (which works out to be £1.66/hour over a 24hour period), I will take your dog for a daily walk. They must be 'good on the lead' - i.e. no pulling (as I'm an older lady and my wrists hurt!). DOG WALKING AND DROP-IN REQUESTS I do take dogs for walks and do drop-ins, the house/pet sitting takes priority. If I'm unavailable for walking, it may be that I'm already booked for a house/pet sit. YOUR HOME I will keep your house secure and tidy, and will leave it as I entered it. I will wash and clean anything I have used and replace any food I may have eaten, although as a general rule, I order a box from a home delivery service for the time I'm with you. All I need is: - a shelf in your fridge - a small space in your freezer - somewhere to write/read I will not take any food from your fridge or cupboards, however, if an emergency happens, I will replace anything that I take. SPECIAL NOTE: Please do not expect: Dog /pup training - although I do play with your dog! Housecleaning or ironing service - although I will keep your home tidy/clean. I will bring real meat (dried) treats and toys with me, so if there's anything your pet doesn't need/want or desire, please let me know. I only bring authentic, real meat (dried) treats and biscuits - NOT smackos, bonios or raw hide. I have created a YouTube channel, Guardian4Dogs, and upload my own videos of my stay with your pals. Will upload without personal details, my experiences with house and pet sitting: Please note your booking with me begins at 11am and ends at 11am. If you would like me to end 2hours or more later than 11am on the final day, there will be a percentage charge that reflects the additional hours. I do not offer services from my own home-sitting facilities. Your pet is in trustworthy hands and their care is important to me. For this reason, please leave me: - a schedule of your dog's day (time they wake up and go to bed). - a list of things your pet needs, vets details and a neighbour's details. - a list of words that your pet knows, so that I can communicate best with them. - a list of foods that your pet does and does NOT eat, so that their stomach isn't upset by new foods or treats.
“I don’t understand why she marks everywhere outside, would have thought it’d stop after she was spayed but got worse. She’s not her full self at the minute but we are giving her leg another week on different painkillers and reviewing next Monday. Thanks Cluny!”
About: Former rescue dog owner. Have been around pets all my life. Loving home with enclosed garden in a new development so away from main roads and plenty of open space. Work from home so available all day. Fun and energetic couple. We enjoy walks. No pets at home and no kids. I work from home in my garden cabin so dog will have ability to be outside at all times. We enjoy walks so will be taken often. No kids or pets at home so a safe relaxing environment I have a fenced garden and surrounded by open spaces. Dogs will take centre stage and have free roam on couch and plenty of attention.
About: I’ve always been a dog person: I grew up with terriers and later rescued a collie, so I’m used to everything from cheeky, high‑energy pups to clever working breeds who need plenty of stimulation. I love long walks, playing games, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun adventure or a gentle, confidence‑building stroll, I’m here to make sure they have a great time. I have a tiny cat called pepper, and greatly appreciate my wonderful friends that visit her when I am travelling. I am keen to give back and ensure that pet lovers can enjoy their travels, in the confidence that their furry friend is taken care of. I'm fully flexible outside of office hours for pet visits and dog walks. Unfortunately working full-time has meant I've been unable to bring a new dog home since the loss of my collie. I particularly miss our evening walks and so I now love to help take take of your furry companions. Available early mornings, evenings and weekends. I always offer a meet and greet, to ensure I have all the necessary information, and that you are comfortable leaving your pet in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I understand and enjoy their little quirks and personalities. Play with them is the highlight of pet sitting I work from home with flexible schedule so I am happy and available to pop out for a walk any time day or evening :) I can take care of the dog in your house or bring them to mine where I am surrounded by lovely green fields where play and run
About: I've had dogs as a child as part of the family and known how important they are to their owner. More recently I have cats (3) and whilst living in Jordan I fostered several cats and found them homes. I'm used to large dogs, elderly dogs and excited puppies and thoroughly enjoy walking them and keeping them company. If you need someone to pop in and check on your furfamily during the day whilst you're away, stay the night or walk them I can help. I'm a teacher so have half terms free for when you may sant to get away. I don't have children so not dictated by this factor either. I'm not offering board at my home. However I will follow whatever instructions you leave since it will be different for each furfamily. Happy to clear litter trays, play with your pets for mental stimulation or take for walks.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.
About: I am an experienced pet owner of both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have experience doing drop in visit for friends and family for dogs, cats, and rats. I'm interested in pet sitting and dog walking to provide care and comfort for pets as I understand how helpful it is to have a trusted person available when you have to be away from your pets. I have experience with senior pets and medically fragile pets and am comfortable administrating medication, following prescription diets, sending health updates, and identifying medical events. During our meet and greet, I'll make sure to discuss your vet, emergency vet preferences, and have a plan in place for peace of mind. I enjoy walking and can provide short or long walks depending on your dog's needs. If a walk is not feasible due to weather or pet personality, I can work with you to determine if your pet has a preferred indoor activity or discuss training or puzzle options to engage your dog. I'm always happy to adjust to your pet needs and find solutions. I'm currently a house maker and interested in adding routine care/walks as well as drop ins to my schedule. I have flexibility for one time or repeat care. I have experience with pets requiring medical care and proactively make care plans and identity needs to best care for your pet during the everyday and emergencies.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, fish, cows, you name it. It feels pointless going on a walk without a dog to me. I’d love the chance to meet some people and animals, and spend my evenings being productive. Since moving away from home I miss my dogs so much! I have helped my mum raise them, I’ve looked after puppies from birth, old dogs who need meds and naughty dogs too who need some discipline. So I will do my best to help out and suit whatever your pets needs are, I’m really easygoing and flexible. I do have a full time job, I work 8am -4:15 pm. It’s relatively flexible if I need to leave early or go and check on a pet at lunch time. If I have enough notice I can also work from home. My evenings are always quite free which is the ideal time to help out. I’ve always been responsible and respectful, and have been trusted to babysit in other peoples homes. I am renting a room in someone’s home so I am used to respecting someone else’s space and property.
“Cora took care of the morning walks for our enthusiastic collie for a couple of weeks while we were recovering from covid, and was punctual, communicative and friendly; plus Rylan loved every minute of it. Recommended wholeheartedly.”
About: I have been a dog owner since my early childhood. I have experience looking after puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently have a very energetic dog that requires lots of walks. She is very friendly and misses a lot her companion, our dachshund that passed away 3 years ago. I am in full time employment, however I work from home twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I am also available for dog walks and pet sitting most weekends. I can house and pet sit or do drop in visits as and when needed provided it is within a driving distance and detailed instructions are provided with regards to pet care if your pet has custom requirements.
About: Hi I’m Rave :) Just a little about me.. I work in the NHS in a support services role and have the flexibility to work from home and love any time I can spend around animals! I currently rent and do not have the option to adopt my own little pets, hence this would be the perfect opportunity to spread my love. In my spare time I like going for walks, crocheting and doing puzzles! I work from home 3 days of the week so have the flexibility to do drop ins and take pets out for walks etc when I’d like - am able to drive places as well! If I were house sitting I’d try to do as much as I could based on the pets regular schedule so they have a good experience while their parents are away :) It’s important to me that the pets (and owners) feel comfortable with me being in their home - always nice to do a short introduction before the sitting day as this will help them familiarise with me. It’s helpful when owners leave instructions on what to do as each pet is so different- bit about their personality also helps reassure I’m doing the right things to give them the care that’s best for them.

I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know every pet’s individual personality, whether they’re a cuddly sofa potato, an energetic adventurer or a little bit of a diva. 😂 I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention and, of course, the occasional well earned treat! 🦴 I’m reliable, caring and happy to keep you updated with photos and little adventures while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is having a lovely time too. 🐾❤️ I’ve been around dogs since I was born, varying from different sizes, from German Shepards to Jack Russels. I love animals with my entire heart. My husband has also had the same upbringing, mostly training and having Great Dane’s. We now have our own little 2 year old Jack Russell dog who we love so much.

I work full time from home, I wake up early for walkies (with lots of treats) then home for food and cuddles, I’m around all day for play time and the garden is always accessible for them.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals. I am quite cleanliness focused and like to form connections with the animals when I can. I have a free schedule at the moment. I go out occasionally on walks or if there are local events, but I try to fit this around the needs of pets. I will follow the instructions set out by you - the owner - I try to form a bond with each animal that I take care of

“We needed someone to look after Pablo 'last minute' and Jing was quick to respond and really helped us out. Lots of updates while we were away and Pablo was well looked after and clearly enjoyed himself 🙂”
“Clare and her husband were wonderful with our old dog, not familiar with anywhere other than home. I really appreciated their flexibility, taking him at the last minute, and letting me know how he was getting on. I’m extremely grateful”
“Luciane provided a convenient reliable boarding service. I enjoyed seeing the WhatsApp vids of my dog Pepper on her walkies each day. Luciane caters for lots of dogs at one time so they are exposed to a lot of socialising.”
“Claire and her family (and gentle dog Coco) looked after our springerpoo Tara for 10 days this summer. Tara can be a bit anxious when staying somewhere new, but we felt very comfortable leaving her with them - and were sent regular updates and photos throughout, assuring us that she was having the best time. Claire is warm and friendly, and obviously loves dogs - and I can thoroughly recommend her.”
“Eevee had a fantastic stay with Emma! Our 4.5month old Vizsla puppy, Eevee had her first night away from us as a trial stay with Emma. Understandably we were nervous but Emma really eased our apprehension, giving us regular updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures & videos of Eevee having just the best time! She clearly loved playing (or maybe just bothering haha) Archie and Pippa and Emma really took special care to ensure Eevee’s usual schedule was kept to and met all her high-maintenance puppy needs. We feel safe in the knowledge that when Eevee next stays with Emma, for our 5day holiday, she will not only be safe and well looked after, but she will be happy to be there with Emma, Archie & Pippa 🥰”
“Brody clearly had a great time with Lisa. We got some lovely updates to see how he was getting on. He’s very much looking forward to returning and we’re glad we have found someone we feel very happy leaving him with 🥰”
“Ruby had a fantastic time staying with Deanne, she was absolutely shattered when she got home! The communication and regular photos were brilliant so we knew she was happy and settled. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much.”
“Sophie and her partner Tom were fantastic with my fur baby Aliyah! She was so happy in their lovely relaxed home. They gave her lots of cuddles, play time and best of all they loved having her there. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“Vicky is amazing 😻 my dog doesn’t like to stay without me, I so have been worried about it. But Vicky has found a special way to get friends with her. Everything was excellent, Vicky always sent me photos from every walk. And when my dog came back home I saw that she missed Vicky and her family 😌 Vicky, thanks a lot for your help. I highly recommend Vicky as an excellent care for your small friend 😊”
“Olivia and Harry had my two dogs while we were away on holiday for 5 nights. My two dogs had the best time playing with Olivia, Harry and their two labradors and were treated as one of the family. They were taken on some wonderful walks and had lots of cuddles at home. They sent lots of photos and videos while I was away, so I knew they were having the best time, and I didn’t worry one bit while I was away (which is a big thing for me to say as I’m such a worrier). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to send my boys and have already been recommending Olivia and Harry to friends. Thank you both so much!”
“I was super scared to leave my rescued—super reactive— dog with anyone. I had never, in fact. The meet and greet with Amanda was amazing. From minute one, my dog felt at ease. After that, it was no difficult for me to leave them alone foe the day. Amanda sent me comments, pics and even videos to keep my peace of mind. My dog was sleeping with her on the sofa, not a worry in the world. The whole process has been easy and smooth. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“Can massively recommend Sophie and Ash! Our dog Poppy had a brilliant time, was really well looked after and came back worn out (in a good way!). Sophie was fantastic at keeping in touch and sending regular updates and photos which we really appreciated.”
“Leo really had the best time with Amanda and Jeremy and Bailey the sweetest spaniel. They took the time to make sure Leo would be comfortable with them and Bailey and It really felt like nothing was too much trouble. We got lots of photos during his stay. Now when my husband walks past their house Leo literally tries to drag him in. We would 1000% recommend them.”
“Betsy was in good hands with Silma and her family. They were patient and understanding and Betsy seemed happy and at ease! Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Silma again.”

“Laura is friendly and kind. She communicates very well and was able to manage our somewhat anxious dog. We were really pleased at how she handled it and we believe that our dog was better for it. Lastly I would comment that her family dog, Lua, got along well with our dog. I think they had fun together.”
“Vicky looked after our four month old Vizsla all day today and did a brilliant job! She kept in contact with me throughout the day and took excellent care of our very lively puppy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Graci is lovely. Her flat is immaculate Graci was very welcoming. Raggsie was very happy. Graci took Raggsie out for a couple of walks and we had a happy, well exercised dog on our return. We would definitely use Graci again and totally recommend her.”
