Jenny looked after our 2 dogs for the day on pretty short notice. We were super anxious about leaving the dogs, but Jenny was amazing with them. She followed their routines perfectly & kept the dogs super calm while we were away. Will definitely be booking again.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8, looking after our family dog daily. For the past two years, I’ve regularly cared for my boyfriend’s puppy, including solo walks, holidays together, and plenty daily walks, even on the beach! I truly love dogs and, after losing my own, I want to share that love by helping others care for theirs. I’m careful, attentive, and very aware of my surroundings on walks. I live close to many beautiful short and long walking routes in the lakes and have both a large, secure garden and a safely fenced courtyard for dogs. I have a flexible part-time job and work self-employed two days a week, so my availability can often be adjusted. I’m available most weekday evenings and usually every other weekend and I’m always happy to work out what’s best for you and your dog. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise trust, attention, and enjoyable walks! I will make sure things are easy and stress-free for both dogs and their owners :)

Elizabeth was great at looking after Tamu - thank you so much! She was very communicative with me sending messages and pictures regularly, which was very reassuring. She also left the house looking great too. Would happily recommend Elizabeth others.

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.

We could not of been any luckier with coming across Barbara, our dog Kasper took to her straight away and settled really easily. She did everything and more that we'd of hoped for, to which saw Kasper cuddle up to her... Something he doesn't do often!! We will definitely be using their expertise again

Helen was fantastic, we would highly recommend her as a house/pet sitter and we will be using her again. Our dog Shelby had a lovely time whilst we were away for 2 weeks, and the house was immaculate when we returned! We received regular updates from Helen, she was friendly, professional and very attentive when caring for Shelby. Thank you Helen! X

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs,, cats, horses, farm animals and Guniea pigs! I am a home loving person, but love to visit new places. I will look after your pets, but also your home. Im good with plants and gardens, messages and deliveries if needbe. I have no family or home ties of my own, so my time with you is dedicated to you. I pride myself on leaving people's homes as clean and tidy as I find them. I am friendly, happy and confident on my own. I have never smoked,drink only ocassionally, and am happy to be at home in the evenings. I am a quiet, calm person. Strict with pets rules, but loving and caring.. i am gentle and happily abide by your care rules and needs. I sold my house a year ago , to take the opportunity to travel to new places both in UK and abroad. I have a base in a friends house whenever I need it and i enjoy travelling to new places. Therefore I have no home commitments. My friend who I stay with has a Boxer so I care for him when I am there. I have owned dogs all my life until my last two rescue girls died and have not replaced them yet so I can travel without worry. I ask people their pet rules,such as walking, feeding and care and adhere to those rules.
