“Clare was absolutely fantastic! She responded to my initial message incredibly quickly and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Vinnie had the BEST time with her little dog Biscuit and puppy Brody — they got along so well and played non-stop! Clare sent updates that showed just how much fun he was having, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such a caring and playful environment. I couldn’t recommend Clare more highly — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Over the moon to have found Deanne, she has taken excellent care of Kevin again, he’s taken for lovely walks, given a lot of love, attention and cuddles (as guaranteed!), and is very much at home, happy and relaxed when I come to collect him. His medication is administered, walks/exercise are adapted to his needs and I’m provided with regular updates and photos whilst I’m away. Really positive experience all round and I know Kevin will be very excited to stay again!”
“Absolutely wonderful couple. Doug very much enjoyed his stay and play. It was such a lovely touch to receive so many pictures and updates from Charlotte and Chris.”
About: Hi, I’m Emma! I’m an experienced dog owner with two friendly rescue dogs and a passion for providing safe, enriching care. Whether your dog joins us for a walk, daycare or overnight stay, they’ll receive the same love, care and attention as my own dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals and even had the privilege of helping 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, but I also believe mental stimulation is just as important. I 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 holiday too. I’d be very happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet-and-greet. I work a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, regular walks and enrichment throughout the day. Mental stimulation feeding every day. Most days the door is open for the dogs to enjoy the garden - they tend to sleep for most of the day after their morning walk. I have a secure fenced garden for those who are looking for boarding / sitting. An estate car with dog guard for those who are looking for pick ups / walks. Always carry a dog bag with poo bags, treats, toys, camera and have a 10m long line for those who don’t have a great recall.
“Michandra and her family took wonderful care of Elf. He looked so happy and calm and he was having so much fun in all the lovely updates I received. Feel so lucky to have found a sitter like Michandra. Super flexible and understanding about flight changes and pick up/drop off times. She did a great job of making sure he took all his medication as needed.”
“Our 7 month old dog had a lovely week with Luciane and did lots of socialising and playing. Through the booking process Luciane responded to messages very promptly and kept us up to date through the week with regular video clips which we really appreciated as it was the first time our young dog had spent away from us and we missed her! Luciane and her family are very warm and friendly and welcoming and clearly love dogs so we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her knowing that she would be well looked after. Many thanks Luciane!”
“Stacey and her partner took such good care of our little coco for the weekend sent lots of pictures on some lovely walks coco fell straight asleep in the car on the way back so she definitely had so much fun playing with their little girl ! Thank you for taking such good care of her we will definitely rebook in future and recommend Stacey and her family to anyone we know !”
“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.”
“Claire could not have been more accommodating and gave me such confidence when leaving Mervyn - he was a very happy boy for his stay and i would highly recommend Claire and would not hesitate to leave Mervyn with her again”
“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 🥰”
“I’m so pleased to have met Jackie and her family, absolutely lovely caring people. I instantly felt at ease leaving my little Pom cross Evie with them and overnight. I had such lovely photos and updates. I could instantly tell Evie had a wonderful time and was taken care of. I have already rebooked.”
“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!”
“We cannot recommend Emmanuel more highly. This was the first time we left our dog and we chose Emmanuel because his house seemed so calm and friendly. We were nervous and Emmanuel gave us confidence that all would be fine. He kept in touch and we always knew how things were going, and he sent some lovely photos. He coped with all our dog's eccentricities with ease. We collected a really calm, happy dog. Thank you Emmanuel!”
“My dog Springer spent three weeks with Jing and had a fantastic time. He looked happy and relaxed in every photo I received - usually three updates a day - which gave me peace of mind while I was away. They clearly cared for him with love and attention, keeping him active and comfortable. I'm very satisfied with the experience and will definitely trust them to look after Springer again in the future.”
“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.”
“Dominique took fantastic care of Sushi, including managing our senior chihuahuas multiple daily medications and providing many lovely updates during our holiday. He also was on an unexpected antibiotic and needed a cone during his stay, a challenge she dealt with confidently. I would recommend Dominique to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter!”
“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 hope she is available for future visits in 2026…”
“Veronica looked after our Evie so well. She sent us regular updates and Evie seemed happy when we came home. We'd definitely have Veronica sit for us again and would recommend her to all looking for a friendly, trusted cat sitter.”
“Ethan was excellent, followed all of our instructions, which were quite specific, and we came back to a very happy cat. He was reliable as well coming exactly when agreed and sending us updates. Would book Ethan again in a heartbeat!”
“Alina took care of my cat (Malka) for 36 hours by 3 drop in visits during which time she had to give medication in food and set up auto feeders and deal with nervous but curious animal. She did this with expertise and compassion, paying attention to Malka's personality quirks and giving her space whilst being on hand to show her she had human company. I've used Alina before and booked her again for a reason, I had complete faith in leaving my neurotic bundle with her. I would recommend Alina in a heartbeat! Thanks.”
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.
“It has been such a nice and reassuring experience having Emily look after my cat. I was reassured from first meeting that Emily radiated good vibes. I've had lots of pictures back and communication and it is clear that my cat has been very happy with her company. I'm particularly pleased that Emily spent plenty of time with my cat giving her attention and love rather than just chucking food down and leaving .. She also did a wonderful job of looking after my hanging baskets and window boxes during hot weather. Emily has proved to be communicative, trustworthy and dependable. I would not hesitate use Emily's services again. Thankyou Emily.”
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. 🐾❤️
About: My dad and step-mum have 4 rescue cats, so I know the range of personalities cats can have. Some extremely social and lively and others who are very shy. We have had some since kittens and some as older cats. I am happy to fuss them as much as they like and also give them space if they like to be alone. I love being able to interact, play and fuss them. I will try my best to suit whatever the needs of your cat are.
“Kaye is fantastic, she's aways so kind with our baby kitten Socks, and keeps us informed with cute pictures and videos. We recommend Kaye in the strongest possible terms!”
About: I have had and loved dogs for all my life. From having just finished my rowing scholarship in the USA, I now want to delve into my other passions which is working with animals and animal care. My family has had purebreds from Rhodesian Ridgeback’s, Labradors, West Highland Terriers to rescues (that obviously are a whole range of breeds). We currently have two Romanian rescue dogs, Tora and Finn. They were both one year old when we got them and both had traumatic pasts. It has taken around a year for both of them to feel more settled and comfortable doing most things like even getting into a car. Thus, I have experience with dogs who have had a rough beginning. I am an active person and love going on hikes, jogs and camping trips with them. My favorite thing is to see any dog running around, tails up, happy and knowing I’m giving them a fun, adventure filled life that they deserve. I am available at the weekdays and weekends for walking, dog sitting and drop in visits. I am able to do longer hikes or jogs with your dogs too (if they are younger or high energy). If you leave them with me, they will have a great time, get some treats and will most likely come back to you tired and ready for a nap. I usually travel with my dogs in my dog seat cover / basket on my backseats. I will usually give my dogs treats occasionally throughout the day and probably yours too as well as making sure their water bowl is full. I will always chill with my dog too and play with them when they start getting their energy back. When I hike/ jog with my dogs, it will always be in a safe area and I usually try out new/different trails where I use an extender lead or let them off to explore (but, will obviously do whatever you would feel comfortable with in terms of on/off a lead). I will also adjust where I walk my dogs (or any dog) depending on the weather so, if it is hotter, I will usually walk them near a water source, forest or somewhere with shade. But, if it is cooler, I would more likely go to places like the ridgeway etc… where the sun would be a problem for longer walks. Your dog will most likely get muddy or wet on walks (with the crazy English weather) but, I always use towels to dry/ clean them up
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

“Deanne was very friendly and well prepared for Nevis first visit. He was happy to see her and rushed into the house. He had a lovely walk with her and Poppy. Completely happy for Nevis to stay again with Deanne.”
“Charlotte and Chris are so lovely as are their 2 wonderful dogs. They looked after Joey so well and made him feel welcome. I had regular pupdates which made my day! Thank you”
About: Dog obsessed and experienced with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve been walking dogs for over 16 years for clients, friends, and family, as well as volunteering at a dog rescue where I worked and trained with shy and reactive dogs. I’ve also owned a Romanian rescue dog for the past 5 years, which has given me hands on experience training in handling reactivity, building trust and understanding the full needs of a reactive dog. I'm currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible and can walk your dog whenever suits you and your furry friend. I am available Mon-Fri and most weekends. I have a fully fenced secure garden and live close to lots of lovely areas to walk and play. Love to go for long walks and go for some adventures!
“Wanda spent a great day with Lisa. My Wanda had a treatment on her paws and Lisa applied it without problem. She spent a great day resting and exploring the garden. Very happy with the service, I definitely recommend daycare with Lisa.”

“Jing & Eugene took great care of Mizuki and she had the best day with them! They were really accommodating to her needs and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages.”
“Dominique took time to understand my dogs needs by showing an interest in her routines/behaviours etc. She cared for Tia well with playing and walks. She sent regular photos and I expect she had lots of cuddles from Tia too!! Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“I am so glad to have found Emily and Ed to look after Ghillie two days a week. Emily took the time to understand Ghillie’s needs and story, which put me at ease. I experience them both as kind and caring; communication is smooth and easy. Highly recommend ☺️”
“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 😊”
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.
“Molly had a very happy time with Clare and her dog Biscuit. She came back calm and relaxed and I was sent some lovely photos of her stay. She made herself at home very quickly and was cared for very well. Thank you.”
“Jupiter had a lovely day with Kyla, Duncan and Copper. Kyla was super patient with Jupiter (and me!) when I dropped him off and was not at all phased by his initial anxiety at being left. She took the time to ask about him and his preferences and gently let him get used to being in a new place. I had some great photos and a video and felt totally reassured and confident that he was settled, happy and being well looked after. Duncan and Kyla also accepted my booking at the very last minute when I had been let down by another sitter. They couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful :) I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Jupiter with them 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 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.

About: I live in Abingdon with my husband and our two children, and we share our home with our adorable dog, Coco. She is well socialised and loves meeting and playing with new friends. As a family, we enjoy getting out for walks both locally and in the nearby countryside. We are a dog-loving household, and I would be a caring and responsible sitter for your lovable pooch. I am a teacher so available half terms and holidays. Please do check in as I usually have longer holidays than state schools. Our days consists of outside time in our garden and at least 2 walks. Lots of cuddle time in-between, of course. We have a fenced garden which is very secure. I aim to keep to your dog’s feeding and walking routine with lots of love and attention given.
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.

“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: 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 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: 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 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 has been wonderful with our boisterous young German Shepherd. She is communicative, clearly loves animals, and makes his walks interesting and engaging. Highly recommend!”

“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: 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.
“Clare has been amazing with Jolene who is a rescue and can be a little unsure of people at first. She has really come out of her shell on her walks with Clare! Thank you 😊”
About: I have had and loved dogs for all my life. From having just finished my rowing scholarship in the USA, I now want to delve into my other passions which is working with animals and animal care. My family has had purebreds from Rhodesian Ridgeback’s, Labradors, West Highland Terriers to rescues (that obviously are a whole range of breeds). We currently have two Romanian rescue dogs, Tora and Finn. They were both one year old when we got them and both had traumatic pasts. It has taken around a year for both of them to feel more settled and comfortable doing most things like even getting into a car. Thus, I have experience with dogs who have had a rough beginning. I am an active person and love going on hikes, jogs and camping trips with them. My favorite thing is to see any dog running around, tails up, happy and knowing I’m giving them a fun, adventure filled life that they deserve. I am available at the weekdays and weekends for walking, dog sitting and drop in visits. I am able to do longer hikes or jogs with your dogs too (if they are younger or high energy). If you leave them with me, they will have a great time, get some treats and will most likely come back to you tired and ready for a nap. I usually travel with my dogs in my dog seat cover / basket on my backseats. I will usually give my dogs treats occasionally throughout the day and probably yours too as well as making sure their water bowl is full. I will always chill with my dog too and play with them when they start getting their energy back. When I hike/ jog with my dogs, it will always be in a safe area and I usually try out new/different trails where I use an extender lead or let them off to explore (but, will obviously do whatever you would feel comfortable with in terms of on/off a lead). I will also adjust where I walk my dogs (or any dog) depending on the weather so, if it is hotter, I will usually walk them near a water source, forest or somewhere with shade. But, if it is cooler, I would more likely go to places like the ridgeway etc… where the sun would be a problem for longer walks. Your dog will most likely get muddy or wet on walks (with the crazy English weather) but, I always use towels to dry/ clean them up
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.
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’m a huge animal lover and since the age of 4, I have always had one or more dogs in the house. I have experience in training my own dogs at home and out on walks. I’m currently at university and also working part time so this would fit perfectly into my spare time and be a great break from my uni work. If you decide you’d like me to stay for a few days then I’d be able to work from home on these days! In my home we have a fenced off garden and a large area for the dog/dogs to run around in. We have lots of walking routes and fields local but I’m also happy to take the dogs to different locations out of the area too!

“Clare was absolutely fantastic! She responded to my initial message incredibly quickly and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Vinnie had the BEST time with her little dog Biscuit and puppy Brody — they got along so well and played non-stop! Clare sent updates that showed just how much fun he was having, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such a caring and playful environment. I couldn’t recommend Clare more highly — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Over the moon to have found Deanne, she has taken excellent care of Kevin again, he’s taken for lovely walks, given a lot of love, attention and cuddles (as guaranteed!), and is very much at home, happy and relaxed when I come to collect him. His medication is administered, walks/exercise are adapted to his needs and I’m provided with regular updates and photos whilst I’m away. Really positive experience all round and I know Kevin will be very excited to stay again!”
About: Hi, I’m Emma! I’m an experienced dog owner with two friendly rescue dogs and a passion for providing safe, enriching care. Whether your dog joins us for a walk, daycare or overnight stay, they’ll receive the same love, care and attention as my own dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals and even had the privilege of helping 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, but I also believe mental stimulation is just as important. I 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 holiday too. I’d be very happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet-and-greet. I work a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, regular walks and enrichment throughout the day. Mental stimulation feeding every day. Most days the door is open for the dogs to enjoy the garden - they tend to sleep for most of the day after their morning walk. I have a secure fenced garden for those who are looking for boarding / sitting. An estate car with dog guard for those who are looking for pick ups / walks. Always carry a dog bag with poo bags, treats, toys, camera and have a 10m long line for those who don’t have a great recall.
“Our 7 month old dog had a lovely week with Luciane and did lots of socialising and playing. Through the booking process Luciane responded to messages very promptly and kept us up to date through the week with regular video clips which we really appreciated as it was the first time our young dog had spent away from us and we missed her! Luciane and her family are very warm and friendly and welcoming and clearly love dogs so we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her knowing that she would be well looked after. Many thanks Luciane!”
“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.”
“Claire could not have been more accommodating and gave me such confidence when leaving Mervyn - he was a very happy boy for his stay and i would highly recommend Claire and would not hesitate to leave Mervyn with her again”
“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 🥰”
“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!”
“My dog Springer spent three weeks with Jing and had a fantastic time. He looked happy and relaxed in every photo I received - usually three updates a day - which gave me peace of mind while I was away. They clearly cared for him with love and attention, keeping him active and comfortable. I'm very satisfied with the experience and will definitely trust them to look after Springer again in the future.”
“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.”
“Dominique took fantastic care of Sushi, including managing our senior chihuahuas multiple daily medications and providing many lovely updates during our holiday. He also was on an unexpected antibiotic and needed a cone during his stay, a challenge she dealt with confidently. I would recommend Dominique to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter!”
“Emily and Ed were absolutely wonderful with Luna! They took such great care of her and really treated her like one of their own. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent via text - it made us feel so at ease while we were away. They also stuck closely to Luna’s usual routine, which meant a lot to us. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and would love to stay in touch!”
“Silma was fantastic! She communicated clearly from start to finish – welcoming me and showing me around her home, and keeping me updated throughout the day. She was proactive, attentive, and took wonderful care of my little girl, who I found relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Silma!”
“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.”
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.
“Pinkman has come home from another stay clearly having had the best time! We were sent some lovely photos and videos showing us how well he was getting on. This is really a home away from home! Thanks for taking such good care of him for us again”
About: I have taken care of animals for 6 years, predominantly while house sitting and pet sitting combined. I have always had raving reviews. I can take care of high energy, reactive, calm, cuddly and everything in between! I have 2 rescue dogs of my own, both with challenging backgrounds (They would not attend any bookings). I am use to dogs who need that deeper understanding or that have more challenging behaviours. One of my own dogs has daily medications which I administer and would be happy to do the same for others. I have experience caring for and walking a reactive German shepherd, so do not let the size of my dogs fool you! I am a work from home accountant who is always more than happy to have some extra time with animals! This means I have more time to come and visit and spend time making your pets comfortable. I have two very loving pets. I would always treat your pet as my own, ensuring they have plenty of time to play and cuddle once they are comfortable.
“I would rebook with Vicky with no question! I asked to meet first and make sure my dog and her got on- the request was welcome. During his stay I got plenty of photos reassuring me. Great feedback for Vicky, she took great care of Rocky and would recommend.”
