“Sybil had a great time at Chenyan's house for an overnight stay. We haven't left Sybil with a sitter overnight before, so understandably we were anxious, but Chenyan really set our mind at ease with updates and photos. Sybil loved Chenyan's little whippet Mae- they had a meet up beforehand to ensure they would get on, and it seems like it was a great fit! Sybil was very calm and contented when she came home afterwards, so we will definitely book Chenyan again for an overnight and won't need to be worried about it because we know Sybil will have a blast and be well taken care of!”

“Jazz was fantastic! We received photos and brief updates twice a day, showing us two happy cats. It’s clear that our cats enjoyed Jazz caring for them and she certainly made a friend of our male cat with him running out to greet her car as she arrived ! (His sister remained shyer as is her nature but allowed small pets and attention) All the cat dishes were washed up, Jazz had taken our bin to the curb and she went above and beyond by popping some milk in the fridge for us as she knew we were arriving in the early hours and would fancy a cuppa! We will definitely be looking to have Jazz care for the cats again.”
“Ghazala took excellent care of Archer while he was in her care. He was happy, comfortable, enjoyed her cat Olly and was totally settled in after only a day. Ghazala was so flexible and understanding with us as well. We had a commitment and the dates and times of it kept shifting and Ghazala was really understanding and adapted to our needs and schedule which helped ease any additional stress. Thank you so much to Ghazala and her wonderful husband/family!”
About: I’m Jake! Since the age of 9, I have lived with cats and absolutely love them! Over that period I have lived with 9 cats. (Not all at once!) I bond well with most pets and they all get treated as if they are my own, with plenty of love strokes and play time. I don’t have any pets of my own due to my work schedule, however as I work on a 6 on 4 off shift pattern, I always know when I’m free which includes mornings and evenings.
“Lauren looked after our two cats very well while we were away for a few days. Came round to meet them (& us!) beforehand and they got on well together. She was great at making sure the younger one came in for his food, and that they both got attention. Good at keeping us updated with photos each time. Thanks Lauren!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and that passion is now shared with my two young sons. Our current family includes two dogs—brothers we helped welcome into the world when I fostered their mother—and a once-stray cat. Now five years old, they are gentle, well-socialized, and wonderful companions. With years of experience caring for animals at every life stage, from bottle-feeding newborns to supporting senior pets, I understand the unique needs of each age. Whether it’s administering medication or providing extra comfort, your pet will be in capable and caring hands. Our home is a warm, safe space where pets are treated as family. We’d be honored to care for yours.

“Rachael did a week of overnight cat sitter whilst we were away on holiday. We usually have family watch our cats but no one was free so we were obviously nervous to try someone new. However Rachael exceeded our expectations. The cats seemed really happy when we got home which is also a good sign that they’ve been well taken care of, and the house even looked more sparkling clean than we left it. She made sure to give us lots of updates and daily photos. Would recommend Rachael for sure!”

“We are very happy to have found Amanda and her family. Since meet & great they have always been super friendly and you could see that they like dogs a lot, which made us very comfortable to leave Paçoca and Lennon with them.

About: Hi! I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I was little, growing up with a wide range of pets, including turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cockatoos, and, of course, dogs. Currently, I share my life with a playful Jack Russell Terrier and a sweet Cocker Spaniel, so I fully understand the energy, patience, and love our furry family members need.

Whether it’s a high-energy dog needing an engaging walk, a shy pup needing gentle reassurance, or small pets needing careful attention, I provide calm, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, even when their owners are busy.

I used to work at a veterinary practice but finished now as i have completed my needed hours of experience for university. I dont go back to uni till September so I have all the free time to look after your lovely pets :) I have a fenced garden.

About: James and Zoe here 😇 We bring several years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs through BorrowMyDoggy, looking after neighbourhood pets, and raising our own dogs. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, rabbits, hamsters, rats, fishes and more—and I also worked with animals, giving me a strong understanding of behaviour, welfare, and individual needs. We currently have a 3‑year‑old Shiba Inu and two bunnies, so we’re very familiar with daily routines, personality quirks, and the importance of tailored care. Our Shiba would absolutely love a furry friend to keep her company! We can also offer holiday care for small animals—just send me a message if that’s something you’re looking for too! Either of us work from home on most weekdays, and we’re able to offer weekend boarding as well. We’re home the majority of the time, so your pet will have plenty of company. We’re also quite flexible with drop‑off and pick‑up times to make scheduling easy for you. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully fenced garden, and there are lovely open fields just behind our house for plenty of walkies and exploring. P.S. The enclosure shown in our cover photo was only used temporarily while our bunnies were bonding — they are never kept caged. Our dog is only allowed into the bunny room under close supervision to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
About: I'm Heidi! I am on a gap year after my A-Levels and have my uni offer to study Veterinary Medicine next year! 🐾 I have lots of free time and want to do something meaningful by helping out local pet owners.I have plenty of professional experience from work experience in vet clinics and a busy dog grooming salon. I’m confident handling dogs of all temperaments, and I handled washing and drying them all by myself. I adore all creatures great and small, I regularly pet-sit my neighbor’s cat and I am also a proud owner of two cute guinea pigs, so I'm happy to look after your small furry pets too! Since I’m on a gap year, my schedule is completely flexible. I’m ready to help with dog walking, home visits, or overnight house sitting. I can't wait to meet your lovely pets and give them plenty of love and care! I am currently taking a gap year before studying Veterinary Medicine at university.

About: I absolutely love dogs, to the point that I'm considering dog caring as a new career option. I have owned a pedigree Westie for the last five years since he was a puppy and took him to puppy training classes locally. I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people as well as getting to know their dogs and often chat to other owners and stroke their dogs when out walking my own. We have lots of great walks nearby and I also love exploring! I have a dog-flap installed so your dog can access a fenced garden as they need throughout the day so that's one less thing for them to worry about. I am relaxed and happy to welcome your dog as if this is their own home from home. We're looking forward to meeting you.
About: I truly love dogs, and any dog that comes into my home will be treated as part of the family. My two sons and I shared our lives with a German Shepherd for almost 12 years, and ever since we lost her, the house has felt a little too empty. We’re really looking forward to welcoming your dog into our lives. I always try to care for each dog in a way that suits their unique personality. If a dog is nervous, I’ll give them gentle comfort and patience. If they’re playful, we’ll have fun with toys and games. And if they love walks, we’ll enjoy exploring the outdoors together. I do some volunteer work and also work part-time from home, so my schedule is really flexible. I’ll have lots of time to spend with your pup, especially during the holidays. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks. Since I don’t have any pets at the moment, I can focus all my attention on the dogs I care for.

I also am happy to do daily walks if house sitting.

About: About Me: I am a freelance Project Manager who works from home, offering a unique "live-in" experience where your pets receive constant companionship and a consistent routine. Having moved back to Wokingham last year after seven years in the US, I am dedicated to providing a secure, loving presence in your own home, ensuring your pets feel safe in their familiar environment while you're away.

What I offer as your house sitter: A "Home Always Occupied" Vibe: My WFH status means I am present throughout the day to offer garden breaks, head scratches, and supervision. Tailored Exercise: Whether your dog prefers a gentle "sniffari" around Ashridge Meadows or a long, vigorous hike through a local National Trust, I adapt every walk to their specific fitness level. Respect for Your Home: I maintain a tidy, organized environment and follow all house rules strictly, from locking up every time I leave to ensuring everything is clean for your return.

I am most available for longer, adventurous walks or hikes during school hours (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM), but I am equally happy to help with late-night bathroom breaks or evening check-ins if you are working late or out for dinner. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine to ensure they never feel rushed or alone. I’ll treat your home with as much love and respect as I do my own. If I'm working from your place, your pets won't have to deal with the "where did they go?" anxiety—I’ll be there to keep them company and keep an eye on things. I’m naturally a very tidy and organized person, so you’ll come home to a happy pet and a house that looks exactly how you left it.

About: Hi! I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I was little, growing up with a wide range of pets, including turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cockatoos, and, of course, dogs. Currently, I share my life with a playful Jack Russell Terrier and a sweet Cocker Spaniel, so I fully understand the energy, patience, and love our furry family members need. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion and hands-on experience with different animals, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and quirks. Whether it’s a high-energy dog needing an engaging walk, a shy pup needing gentle reassurance, or small pets needing careful attention, I provide calm, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, even when their owners are busy. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will treat your pets like my own, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whilst keeping you updated and sending you pictures of your happy pups! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently on my summer holiday from university so I have full flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily accommodate their routine giving them consistent attention while your away :) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! At home, I ensure my Jack Russell Terrier and Cocker Spaniel have a safe, clean, and enriching environment with plenty of supervised playtime, secure spaces to relax, and daily walks to keep them happy and healthy. I apply the same level of care to the pets I look after, always keeping a close eye on their needs and ensuring they never feel lonely or stressed. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I am committed to providing updates and photos, so you always know your pets are safe, loved, and in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have lived with cats and dogs and love spending my time with them whether that be feeding, stroking or keeping them entertained. I bond well with most pets and treat them like they’re my own, so you can be sure they will be getting the right care and love. I work a 6 on 4 off shift pattern which are two early shifts, two late shifts and two night shifts so I always know what shifts I’m on well in advance. I live in a two bed ground floor flat. The second bedroom is a room for furry visitors. If you use a crate or bed, I am more than happy to put them in there along with any toys or other items they may need.
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and for the last 11 years I have been the proud dog mum of a Cavapoo called Louie. As someone who absolutely adores dogs and has years of experience caring for them, I know just how important it is that your furry friend gets the love, exercise, and attention, even when life gets busy. I am reliable and caring and will adapt to your dog’s personality and routine whether it’s a gentle stroll, a high energy walk, or simply some comforting company during the day. Every dog is treated like one of my own, with plenty of cuddles, care, and fun. I've also volunteered at the local dog rescue as a dog walker and I like to help out with friends dogs when I can. I struggle to walk past a dog without saying hello! Over the years I have also owned, horses, rabbits, hamsters and a whole tribe of guinea pigs! 🎓Diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking 🎓Diploma in Canine Communication Fully insured and DBS checked. I’ve recently transitioned from an office job to focus on a more active, outdoor lifestyle, which makes dog walking and pet sitting a perfect fit for me. I have good availability most days a week, apart from school drop-off and pick-up times. I’m excited to spend time outdoors and give your dog lots of care, fun and attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in your home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I like to keep to their routine as much as possible to help them feel secure and at ease. We have a small but secure garden and live just across the road from a park and less than 5 minutes walk from Dinton Pastures.
About: I attended the University of Plymouth studying Conservation Biology and qualified from Moreton Morrell College with a Distinction. It has given me experience and knowledge about handling and caring for a range of animals, including rabbits, dogs, cats, reptiles, and others. I am passionate about working with animals which led me to my university degree which has expanded my knowledge further about animal behaviour, welfare, and management. I have been walking dogs where I grew up for 6 years and for neighbours and friends and now I would love to do this professionally and with a range of dogs who would love playing and exercise. I volunteered at the Dog’s Trust in Kenilworth for around 2 years as part of my Duke of Edinburgh Gold award as well as volunteering at the RSPCA for over a year. At the Dog’s Trust and RSPCA I had many roles, from cleaning kennels to food preparation to walking and socialising with the dogs in my job at the Kennels I cleaned kennels, walked the dogs as well as cleaning the cattery, and socialising with the cats. I am patient, shown as I have plenty of experience working with children and customers. I am organised and have good timekeeping so will be reliable to walk and take care of your dog when you need it. Thank you for your consideration. I mostly work weekends and some evenings. I will have plenty of time for your pet for their needs, to play with them, give them breaks and have a fun time while they are with me. I am very safe with your pets, I will follow your instructions to make sure their environment is safe and they are happy with me

“Hugo just got back from a five day stay with Rachel and her family. I have to say that he was so well looked after, and I'm so glad that I chose her to look after him Rachel is a genuine dog lover and made sure that I was kept up to date daily with photos ensuring that Hugo's stay was going well. Five stars!!!”
“Vinny had a wonderful time staying with Andrea and Luka. Andrea sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me real peace of mind while he was with her. By the time I picked him up, he was tuckered out and ready for bed. I would thoroughly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.”
“Amanda, Trevor, and their family took excellent care of our two large, quirky dogs. They were very communicative, organized, and thoughtful - all the pictures we received during the stay showed eminently happy pups. Any dogs would be lucky to stay with them!”
“Sybil had a great time at Chenyan's house for an overnight stay. We haven't left Sybil with a sitter overnight before, so understandably we were anxious, but Chenyan really set our mind at ease with updates and photos. Sybil loved Chenyan's little whippet Mae- they had a meet up beforehand to ensure they would get on, and it seems like it was a great fit! Sybil was very calm and contented when she came home afterwards, so we will definitely book Chenyan again for an overnight and won't need to be worried about it because we know Sybil will have a blast and be well taken care of!”
“Shilpi was very flexible and accommodating towards us and the needs of our 8 month old dog. Her dogs were very friendly and our dog seemed to settle in at her home. The photos and short updates sent to us while we were away were great to see that Frankie was fine.”
“My dog Lola was boarding with Sarah and her family and there lovely dog Holly for 9 days and I can’t recommend Sarah services enough she took amazing care of Lola and she became one of the family for entire stay with regular picture updates on Lola with her new bestie Holly could not have asked for more and will 100 percent be using Sarah again.”
“Maggie had the best time with Colin and Kiso again. I always know she’ll have fun and gets lots of affection - and she does so love running with Kiso. Colin sends great pupdates and I really just never worry at all - it’s fabulous!”
“Our dog Sybil stayed with Samantha and her family for two days.Samantha came round to meet Sybil a couple of weeks in advance, and provided regular updates throughout the stay, which we really appreciated!”
“I would highly recommend James if you are looking for a trustworthy person who will treat your dog as his own. I’ve had full confidence in his ability to look after my dog (especially that he is high energy breed). Upon collection Bruce looked healthy and happy after the week as he bonded with James. Definitely would reach out again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and that passion is now shared with my two young sons. Our current family includes two dogs—brothers we helped welcome into the world when I fostered their mother—and a once-stray cat. Now five years old, they are gentle, well-socialized, and wonderful companions. With years of experience caring for animals at every life stage, from bottle-feeding newborns to supporting senior pets, I understand the unique needs of each age. Whether it’s administering medication or providing extra comfort, your pet will be in capable and caring hands. Our home is a warm, safe space where pets are treated as family. We’d be honored to care for yours. I'm currently working part-time,so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I will take the pet out for walks 2-3 times a day to relieve themselves, with each walk lasting no less than 30 minutes. I will also feed the pet according to the owner's instructions—typically twice a day, unless otherwise specified. I'll take them out for walks 2–3 times a day, each at least 30 minutes, and spend time playing with them to build trust. My neighborhood has a large lawn where pets can run and play—I'm sure they'll love it here.
“Selfishly, I’m reluctant giving Sue and Geoff this 5 star review which they so deserve. Because having now found the perfect sitters, I don’t want to share only to find they are always fully booked out. Sue and Geoff are absolutely the loveliest people, and were the perfect carers for Odie. They also have the perfect lifestyle, garden and amenities to reassure any dog owner. I genuinely wasn’t worried in the slightest leaving Odie with them. However, I was worried Odie wouldn’t want to come home when picking him up. He looked extremely happy there. I will certainly be using them whenever they are available. Which I fear will become less and less often in the future.”
“Maria and Vincenzo are wonderful sitters. As soon as I contacted them, they set up a time for a meeting. Since then, our dog has grown fond of them and feels safe leaving them with us. They also sent me photos and video letters, which showed that they were doing well. If I need a sitter again, I would like to ask them both. thank you.”
“Bramble was obviously very happy staying with Nathalia. Nathalia sent me photos of Bramble playing and sleeping contentedly on the sofa! I would not hesitate to leave Bramble with Nathalia again”

“Absolutely brilliant! Great communication throughout Alfies stay...lots of photos and texts to put our mind at rest. Met at park before stay and then a home visit week before which was much appreciated.”
“Maura and her family took care of our 4 year old Springerdoodle whilst we attended a family gathering. She’s so lovely, very kind, polite and courteous and has a wealth of experience dog sitting. Coco had an amazing time and played with her two dogs whilst we were away. Her house is perfectly located next to a park, so Coco was able to get plenty of walks and playtime which is what she needs! I can’t thank Maura and her family enough, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for future overnight stays.”
“It was Berni’s first time staying with Helena so needless to say I was worried he wouldn’t settle. It was quite the opposite, he had an amazing time. Helena is absolutely fantastic. She kept me fully up to date with how he was getting on with fab photos of his walkies & when he was relaxing at her home. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s a lovely person & was wonderful with Berni which is all I could ask for.”
“Absolutely 5 stars! 🌟 Deepa and her husband took wonderful care of Alonso—he came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They were warm, communicative, and genuinely kind throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mushroom had a fantastic time with Veena and family that he didn’t want to leave. Being a Springer Spaniel Mushroom can be very frisky, but Veena was able to manage him very well. He got his long walks and play time and was very well taken care of. It was very obvious that Veena loved and understood dogs and very quickly was able to adapt to Mushroom’s needs. They were flex and accommodating. The big yard in the back is a definite plus. Will definitely leave Mushroom here again. Highly recommended.”
