“Kaelan looked after my 15 week old puppy, Albie for the day and Albie had the best time! He was so happy with him. Lots of fun and socialisation and he was knackered when he came home. Already booked in again. Thanks Kaelan :)”


“Isabella not only looked after Meg beautifully but also supported me on a tough day. Videos and pics through the day showed Meg having the time of her life! Isabella also replies really quickly to any queries”


“Kiera and her mum were so friendly. They were wonderful with our two pups. They were flexible with the booking and even helped us out by letting me drop off the pups' things earlier in the day on my way to work. Our dogs had a great time and can't wait to hang out with Keira again!”


“Jamie and Jieun are a wonderful couple with great experience in handling large dogs. They took excellent care of my furry baby and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages. My pup came back home happy and well looked after—I’d definitely trust them again!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and had my own for 8 years, so I understand just how much love, attention and care they need. I regularly dog sit for friends and family - often overnight or while they’re on holiday, daily walks included. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and treat every one like my own. I run my own brand and work from home full time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, playtime and regular daily walks. I’m available for both boarding and walks every day I have a fully fenced, good-sized back garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. There’s also plenty of space indoors, including room for crates if needed.

About: Individual Attention: "I believe every dog is unique. I'll tailor my care to your dog's specific needs and preferences." I will let you know anytime how your dog is and send you videos and photos. I'm working 2 days a week. I have plenty of time to be with your dog and give him all the care he needs. Your pet will be well stimulated on those walks with games and treats. Our garden is safe. It is fenced of and locked. I prefere to take doggies for a walk before sending them to the garden. But the garden is safe.

About: Hi! 👋🏻 My name’s Allan (Junior). I’m a calm, easygoing person who really enjoys spending quality time with animals. 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! Just type "Dionne's Dogs" into Facebook and you'll find us! Don't forget to follow for all doggy updates! 💖🐾

“Chelsea was amazing with my two dogs Alfie and Albert both labs! We met prior to see how my two were with her wee sulley and they were great, she was so accommodating aswell and kept me updated with them also, they didn’t want to come back haha, will be re-booking for sure! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️❤️❤️”


“It was the first time Oli has been left alone with someone other than family members and Yasmin has been great. I was really anxious as he is very close to his family and wary around strangers but he settled in very quickly played with other dogs and came back home exhausted but happy!”


“Cannot say enough good things about Alex and how amazing he was with our Buddy. He constantly communicated with me sending pictures which put my mind at rest that Buddy was happy. We were looking for someone who basically treated Buddy with the love and attention we give him and we found this in Alex. He has a lot of experience especially with anxious dogs and has such a lovely and caring nature. I think Buddy would have been happy to stay with Alex!! So happy and relieved we’ve managed to find someone after a lot of searching that we are more than happy to leave Buddy with. Thanks Alex for being amazing.”


About: I have over 15 years experience with cats and dogs I owned a boxer x husky and staffy which sadly passed away due to old age I was going to get another but I just dont think could deal with the heartbreak it leaves on you so decided to make this as a job instead so it’s best of both worlds I can look after pets while I work ! I have 2 children age 6&7 so when boarding the pets would need to be friendly around children. I am also fully licensed to board in my Home and fully insured ! hope to hear from your furry pets soon❤️ I currently making this my full time job so I have all the time for the job and very excited to get started in this I have a very large and enclosed garden also can do crate aswell if preferred will be also walked up to 4 times a day

About: I’ve been looking after dogs and horses since 2015, and I absolutely love it. I have a rescue dog myself who was reactive to both people and other dogs, so I’ve spent a lot of time working with a trainer and learning how to handle all kinds of dog behaviour. I also studied Veterinary Biosciences, which gave me a solid understanding of how dogs think and feel. I trust my instincts and can read dogs well—whether they’re nervous, playful, or somewhere in between. I’m also happy to help with basic training like recall or walking nicely on the lead if you’d like! I work from home for a very flexible company. My daily schedule with my own dog is: 15 minute morning walk (8-9am), 45-60 minute afternoon walk at the park (12-2pm), 15 minute post-work walk (5-6pm), 5 minute pre-bed walk (10-11pm). I'm happy to amend this schedule to suit your dog's needs. At the weekend the schedule is slightly different and usually features a longer walk in the wild somewhere. My home is really dog-friendly (it has to be, Zeeko lives here!). We’ve got plenty of big, comfy dog beds, and Zeeko’s more than happy to share. When dog friends come to visit, I make sure the space is safe and stress-free: all chew toys and bones are put away to avoid any resource guarding, and meals are served in separate rooms. Once everyone’s gotten to know each other, I’ll bring out the fun stuff—plushies, ropes, balls, and more. Zeeko is very well socialised and loves having a friend to play with. I spend at least an hour a day playing with the dogs to keep them active and happy. Whether your dog prefers cuddles on the bed or their own space, I’ll follow your lead to help them feel at home. Before any stay, I like to meet new dogs outdoors in a neutral spot—it sets everyone up for a great experience. Ideally, I’d love to meet your pup before the booking to make sure we’re all a good match. My "garden" is a back-court with some planters. There's no grass, but I prefer taking dogs to the park anyway.

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. From dogs and cats to smaller furry friends, I’ve always felt a deep connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for them. My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from the joy animals bring into our lives and my desire to make sure they’re loved and well cared for—especially when their owners are away. I have plenty of hands-on experience from years of owning and caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comfortable environment, I’m happy to provide a safe, loving space for them. I treat every pet like family and pay attention to their individual needs and routines. I offer drop in services to your home which can be 40 minutes long and during this time I can walk your pet and feed them. I am able to administer oral medication. I will only board pets from one home at any time so I can watch multiple dogs/cats etc but they need to be from one pet owner. Dog walks will be 40 minutes long but I can adapt these if you have a senior dog. I can walk your dog up to 3 times per day. In my home is only myself and husband and our 9 year old dog Charlie. Charlie is small and has a very chill temperament, Charlie is fine with other dogs, if this was a problem with your pets my sister will care for Charlie whilst your pets are in my care. Pets are allowed anywhere in my home including furniture and bedrooms. I have a spacious garden which is fully fenced and secure. If your pets struggle to socialise with other dogs I can support this as well. I do have my own dog but my sister is his doggy day care mum when people need that extra support for their pets. You are more than welcome to visit my home before booking with your pets for reassurance and peace of mind that they will be cared for in a loving and safe environment ❤️ I am currently a teacher so have weekends off and school holidays. My employment ends June 2025 making me free beyond that time frame. My husband has a flexible job and my sister supports me for dogs who cannot be left alone as she works from home. I have a fully enclosed back garden which is spacious enough for several dogs to run around. I own a semi detached home where animals can roam in all areas of the house. In a pets own house I will follow the guidance from the owner regarding pet care and specific requirements. At my own home I will also ensure pets maintain the routines and lifestyle they are used to.

“Parris was amazing with our dogs. They settled in really well and didn’t appear anxious at all. She clearly loves dogs and they got on so well with her. I was nervous about using a dog sitter but would definitely send them to be looked after by Parris again. She was lovely and the dogs were very well looked after.”


About: I recently had a Bernese Mountain Dog called Harris who unfortunately we lost at the age of 11 months, this is still very raw however I still have so much love to give to dogs! I work 2 days in the office and 3 days at home, free most weekends all day and night to watch dogs if and when required. I have a fenced enclosed large back garden which allows dogs to enjoy running free and plenty of space to get out for exercise and play with toys

“Dexter loved his time with Dillon as usual! He's always so good and calm with him. Dex loves seeing Dillon and getting plenty of cuddles, lazing around on his sofa. There's never been any doubt that Dillon is amazing with him”

Lauren W.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing while watching my dog, Luna! She was so caring and attentive—I could instantly tell she’s a true animal lover. Luna was so well looked after, and I had complete peace of mind the whole time. The communication was excellent; I always felt informed and reassured. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you, Lauren!”


helena m.
“Helena is a beautiful, kind hearted soul who puts everything into caring for others. All animals included. She has an abundance of patience and understanding and lots of love and care to give. Any pet lucky enough to be in Helena’s care really has struck gold! She will ensure that any and all care given is appropriate and of a very high standard. Empathy is something she has in abundance, this can’t be taught, you either have it or you do not. She definitely has it. I can highly recommend her as a care giver in any setting. But she has a love of small dogs in particular. Making her the ideal caregiver for them.”


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 😊”

Rachael Elizabeth J.
“Great dog walker and pet sitter! Rachael loves all animals, and is really knowledgeable about pet care. She has experience caring for different breeds of dogs, as well as dogs with different health/behavioural needs. She is very reliable, and trustworthy. Would recommend if you need someone to look after your dog”


Gemma C.
“Our little Shih Tzu, Daisy, can be a bit particular about who she warms up to, but Gemma was amazing from the very first meeting. She was so patient and gentle, and Daisy instantly felt comfortable. Gemma sent regular updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her — Daisy can’t wait to visit again.”

Jamie L.
“Jamie offers to a great support to those who want to provide their fluffy family members a safe, fun and loving time. His experience is evident (from previously being a dog owner, but also how has been with my dog). I own a high energy Staffordshire Bull cross, who can sometimes exhibit reactivity in new situations, but Jamie was made sure he was well-looked after and supported him with a calm and confident manner on walks. I also think it’s really important to note that he helped maintain my dog’s training cues/routine. Whilst I don’t suspect every dog needs such a prescriptive routine, it was so valuable to have behavioural reminders reinforced with a new person/situation. Jamie is very responsive to our messaging and is highly reliable. He has provided us with dog walking and dog sitting services whenever we have required. I think it is great that Jamie is available whenever we have plans to travel or even when the pup has needed someone to check-in and give him a walk. Our dog is always so happy to see him! It is clear Jamie has such a huge heart when it comes to dogs, I would highly recommend him.”
