“Greg was exactly what I was looking for when it came to walking my XL boy, he made sure to send me some pictures of him with Kruger on the walk, he made sure that Kruger had a great time and I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future!”


2. Lisa E.

“Lisa has been a great dog walker for me and my dog. She is reliable, always posts pictures of walks and let's me know how the walk went. My greyhound gets on well with Lisa and she wasn't fazed by him being a larger breed and sometimes a bit wild.”

5. Pauline M.
“Wow, what can I say?? My two dogs absolutely LOVE Pauline & get so excited when they see her! She's brilliant with them - and one of my dogs is quite feisty & difficult (to say the least!). Pauline is totally calm & in control at all times. She keeps in touch with me and even sends adorable photos of their adventures together. I'd not hesitate to recommend Pauline. She's a godsend.”

About: Growing up, I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of pets, which has created my passion for all animals. With over 20 years of having dogs and cats in my family, I've attended puppy classes and taken on the responsibility of looking after family dogs. I enjoy going on walks, playing, and nurturing pets, and I'm well-equipped to handle any situations that may arise during these outings. My extensive background in pet care ensures that I can provide the love and attention your furry friend deserves, making them feel comfortable and loved while you're away. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands I am currently a third year student studying law. However, I am only in university for 2-3 hours a day. I also work part time as a manger in McDonald’s, doing 2-3 shifts a week. This leaves me with plenty spare time during the week and at the weekend when I am off! I have a reasonably big back garden for your pets to run around and play in. My family live around the corner with a golden retriever and a cockapoo, giving your furry pet plenty company on walks if allowed! All in all it is a safe and happy environment for your wee pet to be in.

9. Parris T.

About: I am an environmental consultant, constantly out in nature with dog experience and handling of large breeds throughout my whole life. I understand every dog is different and I’m happy to provide that home from home experience for your family member! I know how daunting it can be to leave your dog, so FaceTime and pictures can be sent to ensure your peace in mind. Your dog will be treated like my own, with as many walks as required, secure garden and treats on hand! I will abide by your rules! And help with any training if required! I’ve experience in rescues, nervous dogs and aggressive dogs. Please just let me know your dogs needs. I work from home, and there will always be somebody around to look after your dog, whilst also making sure they are having a great holiday! My garden has a 6 foot fence, where the dogs can play! I also have an internal garden where the dogs will be fully enclosed should this be required! I live not too far from dog runs where I can access an off lead training or run around time. This is usually done every other day.
11. Heather N.
“Heather is absolutely amazing with my dog, Belle. Every time I drop her off, Belle is so excited to see her. I always know she’s in great hands—Heather treats her like she’s her own. I get updates and pics, and it’s clear Belle is having the best time. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats and rabbits. If you are looking for someone who you can trust, look no further. I am genuine, responsible and trustworthy. I currently work part time hours and I now work from home two days a week. I work for myself and over the summer I can be flexible with my hours.

“Leona and Andrew would make the best pet sitters/dog walkers. They are both responsible and trustworthy and would look after any pet like their own. Their own puppy Millie, could not be more loved and any doggie visitor would have so much fun and lots of cuddles staying with them.”

19. Mollie-Mae M.
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.


20. Andrew B.
“Andrew has looked after my Staffordshire bull terrier Buster multiple times when I have been on holiday. I am always so confident that he is in great hands. He always shows him affection and loves to take him on exciting walks and to the beach which Buster loves!”
