About: I spend my career taking care of loved pets, and I'd like to offer the same on my days off. I own a French bulldog who is basically my child - animals, especially dogs, have been my true love my whole life I try to include being around dogs as much as possible into my week (for my own sanity), I typically have Wednesday, Friday and Saturday off work so I'd love to help as many neighbours I do not accept dog boarding as I have my own dog who can be funny around certain breeds. However I life by the rule of dogs are family and mine certainly can share any space in my house to the highest standard and the most amount of cuddles

About: I offer a calm home where dogs can relax, explore, and feel part of the family. With plenty of outdoor space and access to safe, scenic walking routes, dogs in my care get both physical exercise and a peaceful environment away from busy streets. What sets me apart is the level of individual attention I give to each dog. I keep numbers low so I can stick closely to your dog’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, feeding schedules, or just lots of affection and companionship. I provide daily updates with photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra comfort. I pay close attention to behaviour, body language, and wellbeing to ensure every dog feels safe and settled. My goal is simple: a home-from-home experience where your dog gets fresh air, gentle care, and plenty of love while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as someone is home most of the time. I’m home throughout the day so dogs are rarely left alone and always have company and supervision. My day is structured around the dogs, with regular walks, feeding times, play, and plenty of downtime. Living in the a stones throw from the countryside means we can offer daily scenic walks and a calm, relaxed environment away from busy roads. I keep a consistent schedule to help dogs feel secure, while also adapting to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s more exercise (I walk ultra marathons so am used to long walks if needed), quiet time, or extra support for puppies or older dogs. Overall, dogs become part of our home and routine, with plenty of companionship, fresh air, and a safe, peaceful environment. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I provide a calm, secure, home-from-home environment for every dog. Before each stay, I take time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. At home, dogs benefit from a fully fenced, secure garden, giving them the freedom to explore, play, and relax safely. They are always supervised, with someone home most of the day, so they’re rarely left alone and always have company. I keep numbers low to ensure each dog gets plenty of individual attention, and I carefully manage introductions to maintain a balanced environment. Dogs are never put in overwhelming situations and always have a comfortable space to rest. Living near the countryside allows for peaceful, controlled walks in a low-traffic setting. Dogs are kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and their safety is always my priority. I follow feeding routines exactly, can administer medication if needed, and closely monitor each dog’s wellbeing. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Overall, I offer a safe, secure, and loving environment—with the added benefit of a fenced outdoor space—so your dog can relax, play, and feel completely at home.

About: I have had cats since a young age and have looked after friend’s cats for the past 5/6 years! I also have a dog called Bear so have a lot of knowledge about dogs! Currently am working part time at a local cafe and part time from home! So can mean I can look after your pets on my days off! I have weekend and evening flexibility I have a fenced garden and also a very friendly dog to keep your dogs company if that’s the service you’d like! I am reliability and trustworthy

About: I have had big responsibility to look after many animals growing up. I am currently living away from home and I miss my animals, my dog (see profile picture) and I’m desperate to start involving myself around animals again. I have also done house sitting, mainly family members growing up, more of a good gesture but now I live away from home I have started to think of different ways to get out of the house. It’s more for me rather than money if I am honest. I find myself very responsible and trust worthy, I respect people and care for animals dearly. I wouldn’t say I have years of paid experience with looking after homes or animals but I have years worth of love for them. If you let me know in advance, I can sort your schedule around you. I am easy to your schedule as my shifts change so I can request different things as I work full time. I will chill with your dog. If you want me to keep them out then they will be out. If you want me to take them out I will. If you want me to crate them, I may do. Your call.

About: I spent six years+ at Dogs Trust, which taught me so much more than just animal care. I learned patience, how to read behaviour, and how to stay calm under pressure. Working with rescue dogs really shaped my empathy and ability to build trust, skills I carry into everything I do now. I have availability for pop ins and walks most days, and for pet sitting until June. Pet sitting will resume 2027. Please also see my social media for availability: Ivy paws dog walking As well as being canine first aid trained, I have extensive experience in looking after dogs of all sizes and temperaments in different home environments. I make sure a full and detailed consultation is carried out before any of my pet care services

“Excellent sitter. Great communication, care and attention to detail. Dominika took the time to understand my cats’ need for a calm environment, which I (we) really appreciated. They were happy and relaxed when I got home. I’ll definitely be making more bookings. ”

“I came across this app by chance as was in need of help to pop on to see my little boy whilst I had to go to work. Myself and my partners rosters didn’t match on this occasion. I messaged Beth to arrange a meeting first hand before committing; she happily agreed to meet Mylo and brought him round some treats to gain his trust. I honestly couldn't praise this girl enough and within seconds of meeting her I knew I could trust her with my little boy. Beth was on time to each visit and sent me photos of Mylo whilst in her care. Beth I thank you so very much, I will definitely msg you again when I need your help In the future; you’ve made a forever friend in Mylo. ?”

“Aneta looked after our dogs for the first time at the weekend, they warmed to her instantly and she took time to understand what our dogs liked/disliked. We’ve rebooked Aneta for a week or so in September and we feel happy and comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands.”

“Millie was so good and kept us fully informed and sent us Lovely Photos too. What a really Nice Girl and Billy appeared to enjoy the attention he got from her. If he could talk he’d say she was Purrfect Lol at looking after him. Definitely recommend Millie and we will ask her again if we need someone for Billy Thank you Millie”

About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was 10 whether that be my own dog a family dogs neighbours dogs washing them bathing them walking and feeding them and grooming them I am currently not working due to moving up this way recently so have full availability to come and dog sit play with your pets Monday to Friday anytime needed I have a contained garden and a friendly little dog who loves walks and being outside I can easily get a dog in a create if that is what’s needed

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from the very start, especially dogs and cats. My dad and stepmum had a busy and loving home with eight dogs—mostly rescues—and five cats, all of different breeds including Staffys, a Lurcher, Bulldog, Jack Russell, Sheepdog, Shar Pei, and a Border Terrier. It was a full house, but it taught me so much about animal care, behaviour, and the unique personalities each pet brings. Although my mum didn’t allow dogs at her house, I begged for years—until one day I was handed a puppy training book after school, and I knew something was up. Sure enough, I got home to meet my very first dog, who’s still going strong at nearly 16 years old. I’ve always had a deep love for animals—more than for people, if I’m honest—and I seem to click with every dog I meet. So you can rest assured your furry family member will be in kind, caring, and capable hands with me. As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a range of engaging and caring activities to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I provide regular walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, and plenty of cuddle time for comfort and companionship. I also ensure they stick to their feeding schedule, administer any necessary medications, and can practice basic training commands if requested. Whether it’s a visit to a nearby dog park, a game of fetch in the yard, or simply relaxing together at home, I strive to make sure your dog feels loved and well-cared-for in your absence. I currently work full-time on a rotating shift pattern, but I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule with enough notice. If no changes are needed, my typical rota is as follows: Week 1 – I work 12-hour shifts on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, with Wednesday to Friday off. Week 2 – I’m off Monday and Tuesday, and work 12-hour shifts from Wednesday to Friday, with the weekend off. This routine allows for plenty of availability throughout the week, and I’m more than happy to make adjustments where possible to accommodate your pet care needs. I currently live on my own in a small, cosy flat that’s actually joined to my family’s house, so while I have my own space, there’s always someone around nearby. I don’t have any pets living with me at the moment—mine are with my parents—but I truly miss the company of animals. Any dog staying with me would be treated like part of the family and have full freedom to relax and enjoy the space. My flat is pet-friendly, and I live right next to a field, so toilet breaks and walks are quick and easy. Honestly, I think I’d enjoy the companionship just as much as they would!

About: Taken care of dogs my whole life; I am now I’m a Police Officer aspiring to become a Police Dog Handler. The combination of my caring and responsible nature with my passion for dogs makes me a good choice for taking your dog. I work on a rolling shift pattern working 4 days on & 4 days off a week. I therefore have lots of free time, just have to organise in advance:) I would take care of your pet at all times when it is in my care. I don’t will aim to have all vet details incase of emergencies and u will always be available to get in contact with.

“We booked Rebecca to look after our dog as we were going to be out for a prolonged period of time. She came over to the house the day before for a meet and greet and we could instantly tell she’s an animal lover and a natural with dogs. She was very friendly and professional, asking all the right questions. We booked a dog walk and then a sit in the house later on, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with her movements and sent lots of photos and videos throughout. Our dog Herb had the most wonderful time and she was so tired and chilled when we got back after playing all day with her new friends (Rebecca’s two dogs that she met). We will most definitely be using Rebecca again and can’t recommend her enough.”

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.
