“Nicola has gone above and beyond in looking after our dog. This was our first experience of having a dog walker and so Nicola made sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She was so patient with her and us. She is reliable and will really care about your pet. Would definitely recommend her services!”

About: I have grown up with cats all my life and became a dog owner 4 years ago to a working cocker spaniel. I have spent a lot of time training her and have won awards competing with her at local agility shows. I work as a nurse although I’m currently on maternity leave giving me flexibility and time to care for your furry ones. Long daily walks are inevitable for me and my energetic spaniel therefore I can also tend to your pets needs on weekends and at short notice for walks or simply to feed and play whilst you are away. I will ensure to care for your cats and dogs like they are my own. As a community nurse I am familiar with entering people’s homes and will always be respectful whilst ensuring your furry friend is well looked after and all of there needs are met.
About: All though I don’t have any pets at the moments I’v have a few dogs over the years. Iv watched friends and family’s dogs when they’ve been on holiday and always love a dogs company. As a full time worker my availability would be flexible for walks. But my partner works opposite shifts so if I was boarding a dog then there would be some one at home with the dog most of the time. I know just how different all dogs are and like different things. I will adjust to there needs to give them the best possible care that I can. I have a fully fenced secure back garden, but I would never leave your dog unattended in it as I never did with my own.
About: I don’t work Monday, Friday nine till five. My work schedule can be quite sporadic which allows me to be available when most people aren’t. I enjoy being around dogs and they fill me with so much joy. My brother has a dog that I look after regularly and enjoy taking her on walks and treating her like a little princess. I am self employed and often have breaks in my working weeks. I’d love to fill my time looking after dogs. My work sceudule doesn’t allow me to have a dog myself so I thought I’d put that love into looking after other peoples instead. I am a very caring person. I love dogs and enjoy their company! I like playing and connecting with dogs and building relationships with them.

I love taking slow, peaceful walks and letting dogs explore at their own pace—it’s their adventure, I’m just happy to be part of it! I’m a friendly, caring person who loves making people and pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality—it’s always fun getting to know them and seeing what makes them excited. I want to fully invest my time into looking after dogs so I am free 24/7. Your pets care is my utmost responsibility and priority as well as them having a great and amazing fun time, I'd love to get know your dogs and for them too get to know me and be their home away from home 🏡 😀. I have a gated back garden with no other pets around and there are lots of big parks near by and great nature walks. Quiet area so your wee fluff is calm and relaxed 😌, plenty of space in my home for your dog to have a good fun time playing in the house and getting those zoomies out 😀. —————————————————————— I work with Dionne’s Dogs 🐶 – you’ll probably see me popping up there from time to time!

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life, I grew up on a farm with lots of animals. I got my girl 5 years ago but unfortunately had to say goodnight to her at the start of this year and really missing the company of a dog. I do often look after my friends and family’s dogs so have experienced with big and small dogs. I can walk up to 3 big dogs at a time if you have more than one dog. I understand that different dogs have different needs, so if they have dietary or medical needs I do feel comfortable to give them medication if given detailed instructions and I will not give treats unless okayed to do so. I will walk your dog up to their needs whether they are a young adult needing to burn a lot of energy or older and needing out little bit often. I work 48 hour shifts just now, but I have 4 days off at a time. So I work different days each week but I do have a lot of days off and would like to fill some of them walking and looking after dogs I live right next to two parks, I would make sure your pets needs are met, if you give me their routine I will stick to it. Also if they love cuddles they will get loads. I have a car so I can take your dog to lots of different places also if they need a variety when it comes to walks.
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From puppies and kittens to senior animals and strays. I’ve always found animals take to me well, it’s like they can tell I prefer them to humans. Working part-time can be a great way to balance responsibilities while still having enough free time to pursue other interests, like pet sitting. With a flexible schedule, I can dedicate my afternoons or weekends to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention and love they need when their owners are away. This not only provides a rewarding experience but also allows me to earn some extra income while enjoying the company of furry friends. Having had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have smashed the safety aspect of an in closed garden. I tend to adore every animal I ever meet & typically prefer them to people.

About: I have always taken care of dogs and been around dogs my full life. Recently my own dog passed away at the age of 10 from health complications which also leaves my house pet free and a missing place. I have done work experience in a vet practice and a hnc in animal care and now at university studying biomedical science in hopes of becoming a vet so I have lots of experience in caring for animals and it is a passion I have had for a long time. My house is quite spacey with a decent sized garden for your dog to have space to play and run around and also go somewhere for space and alone time if needed. From my experiences I have knowledge and can also do basic healthcare on animals and know basic diseases and how to care for them including injections and antibiotics. I am currently at home for the summer from university so I have a lot of free time until september so this gives me some extra things to fit in and have fun doing I have a fenced garden and also do not live on a busy road. I am also able to deal with any type of dogs and can crate them if needed.
About: I am a 40 year old guy who loves animals of all shapes and sizes, wild and domestic. I am fairly new to pet care but it is a good fit for me. I have always dreamt of working with animals. I am employed full time 4 days out of 7. I have all day Wednesday's, Fridays and Saturday’s and Sunday’s free including evenings after 5pm every day of the week. With love and respect. Play is a great way to bond and have fun with animals. Exercise, play and cuddles/comfort are what a lot of pets want and need other than the basics.

Somaya is also a friendly, happy, generous and kind person which is reflected in her relationships with others. She will make a perfect dog walker or sitter.”

Allan S.
“Allan is very good with dogs and they absolutely love him! I look after dogs regularly and he sometimes helps me with bookings or he will be around while I'm looking after dogs and they adore him. They always get excited to see him and love cuddling up to him during quiet moments. He's naturally very gentle, caring and loving with animals. I love seeing the love and care he gives all animals and it's especially heart warming when I see it with dogs that I look after who are a bit more anxious than usual or even if I look after dogs who are more scared of males, these dogs seems to warm up to him extremely fast, as if they can sense straight away that he's a safe person from their first few sniffs of him. Dogs have a good sense of who they can trust and who's a good person. They always seem to know that Allan is one of the good ones 😊”
Amy B.
“Amy is such a caring and loving person. She loves animals and would love to have her own pet but due to work restrictions this is not possible at the moment. If you had Amy looking after your pet she would love it as her own. You would know she would be looking after your pet as you would and you could relax and carry on with your day. She looks after my dog. I get photos of her walks and the cuddles my dog gets. She is so diligent. Your pet would always come first. She can be strict to but only for the best of your pet. she will make your pets time with her fun and rewarding. Your pet will be in very good hands.”
