1. Heather Faye D.

“Heather has been fantastic again. We have been kept up to date with our Morris and have been sent regular updates. Morris did one of his vanishing acts and Heather made sure to look for him and even went back on her lunch break to see if he was around. He turned up safe and well after enjoying some of the good weather. We will definitely be using Heather again 😊”


2. Jennifer G.

“Jen did a great job. Easy to contact. Reliable, even managed to grab a photo of our very shy cat. Our cat seemed happy on our return and not as angry with us when we’ve been away previously.”


3. Kurt A.

“Kurt visited and walked our dogs while we attended a wedding in the Lake District. We were so reassured when we met him the day before and the dogs took to him straight away. He is kind, thoughtful, resourceful, and clearly loves the dogs (and all animals). Thank you, Kurt for your kindness and patience.”


4. Jane R.
“Jane has regularly looked after my rescue dog, Lola. She treats lola like her own which really brings a lot of comfort to me. She provided pictures and updates, and lola gets so excited when she sees Jane come to collect her for a walk. Thank you Jane 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and horses for families for 6 years now. I have house sat for up to 3 weeks at a time for families to look after pets. I currently work full time - but from home half of the week so have lots of time to play with your pups! I walk every lunch break and evening, varying lengths depending on the great British weather! I have a fenced garden and an old lady spaniel to keep your pup company. I can crate your dog if needed! I live in a quiet area with lots of walks on the doorstep.

About: I have looked after all types of animals since I was very young, ranging from horses to cats and dogs and even little furry friends. Hygiene, exercise and attention are my main focuses; so cleaning litter trays, grooming, many walks and cuddles are all guaranteed! I curreblty work from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding every night of the week after 6pm.

7. Erin N.
About: I grew up surrounded by a variety of pets, including goats, alpacas, dogs, fish, giant snails and stick insects. I have owned dogs all my life growing up with hounds, whippets and a staffy and now owning my very lazy lurcher- Layla. As well as having pets in my home life, I have worked with animals professionally for 10 years. I started working at a kennels and when I was 14 and later became supervisor. There, I have gained experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, small furries, birds and reptiles whilst their owners were away on holiday. We also looked after rescue dogs who came into our care due to them being neglected or abused or because their owners simply couldn't care for them any more. The most rewarding part of this was seeing the physical, mental and behavioural improvements after receiving proper care and love, often for the first time in their lives. I have worked with a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments and have no bias. I am familiar with aggressive and reactive dogs as well as those who are terrified of their own shadow. I am willing to provide the extra time and patience that these pups require to ensure they're happy and comfortable. I have experience in walking/ enrichment, cleaning, feeding, basic grooming and medicating- including oral, topical and injections so I am happy to discuss your pets' needs. **I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Care and Welfare** I currently do group walks twice daily as I have my own business 'Hounds at Holme' and can do drop-in visits at breakfast, tea and bedtime. I follow instructions carefully to make sure your pets receive the care they need and you desire. If your dog has special requirements such as staying on lead at all times or wearing a muzzle then that's not a problem. I am trustworthy and reliable and will strive to provide the best care possible to all pets. I am insured, DBS checked have a certificate in pet first aid, 10+ yrs professional animal care experience and hold a level 3 diploma in animal care and welfare.

11. Hector C.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, and i am reliable for friends and family when they ask me to either pet sit or walk pets. I have also had a lot of cleaning experience for pets as i had 3 dogs, 2 of which i had from puppies. I have wednesday, thursday, and the majority of weekends free. So i can do all sorted on 4 out of 7 days a week. This includes walking, pet sitting, cleaning, or just generally keeping a pet happy. I will keep them company as much as they need. Take them for walks whenever they want. I feed at the owners rate, and if i teach tricks then i will be rewarding them with treats. I can crate them if needed as my dogs are generally crated.
