“I used the pet sitter service for the first time during my short holiday. I highly recommend Shona. Great contact, daily information about the visit. I will definitely use it again!”


“Pauline popped in to feed our cats and give them some company for a couple of days while we were away, and she was absolutely brilliant. She’s so friendly and easy to talk to, and really put my mind at ease. She sent updates and photos, which made such a difference – I could tell the cats were totally relaxed and well looked after. It was great knowing they were in safe hands. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

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 walked dogs for over 5+ years from friends to neighbours dogs. No dog is the same, message me to discuss your dogs needs today! I work from home and I am available in the area on the weekends too. Message me for availability and I can see what I can do for you. I’ve a 6ft fence around my property. I always walk dogs on their leads, and short lead in busy and crowded areas. I have experience in teaching dogs how to walk properly. I walk the dog - the dog doesn’t walk me!

“Mollie-Mae looked after our cat for about a month while we were away and we couldn't be happier with her care. She made sure to send me updates and photos during each visit and was very patient with all my questions and concerns. Planning vacations will be a lot easier knowing Mollie will be checking in :)”


About: I have always grown up with animals from rabbits, birds, dogs etc. I currently watch family friends dogs and my old neighbours if needed. I also take care of friends pets such as a rabbit and bird 🥰✨ I currently work part time but I will have plenty of time to check in on your pups or better yet have them over 😁, I have a 2 year old who has grown up round about dogs and other animals who also loves playing fetch with the pups I have a spacious back garden that the dogs can have some fun in and I also have birds that are caged so they will enjoy having a nosey at them too 🦜

About: Hi! 👋🏼 I'm Dionne! - Your dogs new best friend! Dogs have been at the centre of my world for years, and now caring for them is what I do full-time.🐶💖 I'm a very friendly, loving and caring person. I love to uplift people who are around me, as it makes me happy seeing others happy and seeing the passion that comes out of people when you support them in doing what they love. - I love animals too, Especially dogs! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, they are such wonderfully social creatures, and I adore getting to know all their unique personalities. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving experience where your pup feels supported, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether it’s walks, play, or just being a calm, reassuring presence, I’m dedicated to making your dog’s time with me as happy as possible. I don't have a dog of my own, but I'd absolutely be honoured to take your dog out on one of my walking adventures or have them stay over, for as long as you'd like. Just let me know which service you'd like, and I'll most likely be available to help you. -------------------------------------- 💖 A personal note: On my profile, you’ll see photos of two very special boys — Star (The whippet) and McCoy (The Lhasa apso) — Who both hold a permanent place in my heart. 🌟 Star was a very happy whippet and my very first Rover booking. We became best friends instantly, and I was lucky enough to see him regularly. Always asking for sausages (even after I’d already given him two!), he brought so much joy to our walks, occasional playful moments, and cuddle sessions. Star didn’t play much, being an older boy, but every moment with him was special — from him running up the stairs to greet me, to his sweet little whippet face. He passed away on 03/08/23 at 5:00 pm, and although my heart broke hearing the news, I’m forever grateful for the bond we shared. Star will always be a cherished part of my Rover journey. 🐾 McCoy was one of my first regular bookings and quickly became my wee best pal. A quiet soul, he’d come for affection on his own terms, sometimes joining me on the couch before toddling off to curl up in his bed like the cosiest wee boy. He had his playful moments too, especially after a good walk, and I’ll always remember his gentle, comforting presence. Both Star and McCoy left paw prints on my heart that will never fade. Though they’re no longer here, the love and memories we shared will live on forever. 🌈❤️ -------------------------------------- Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s my daily routine and my full-time passion. 🐾 I'll try to go out of my way as much as possible to help you with whichever dates you'd prefer ✌🏻❤️ Your pup will be treated like family here: ✨ A safe, loving home where they can feel comfortable ✨ Plenty of walks, play, and cuddles tailored to their personality ✨ Regular photo & video updates so you always feel connected I enjoy making you happy, allowing you to comfortably leave your best friend in my hands, where you'll receive regular video and photo updates as much as you'd like and being able to show you that your best friend is being loved and cared for as if they were my own. I appreciate each and every one of my clients, and I especially appreciate my regular clients who allow me to regularly have fun with their but now, also my best friend, due to their regular bookings. I'm happy to now be your full time Fairy Dogmother, Haha! 🌸 Why pet parents choose me: Because I go beyond basic care. I take the time to get to know your dog — their quirks, comforts, and even anxieties. If your pup has special needs, I’ll work with you to make sure they’re supported every step of the way. Every booking is personal to me, and many of my clients have become like extended family — their dogs are just as excited to see me as I am to see them. That bond means everything. 💖 📸 A little extra: I studied photography in college, so capturing your dog’s personality is one of my favourite parts of the job. Clients often tell me how much they love the photos I take — some have even framed them for their walls! Knowing those memories mean so much to you makes my heart so happy. I love sharing the joy these pups bring into my life, and I’d love for you to be part of it too. 💖 Search "Dionne’s Dogs" on Facebook and follow along for updates, sweet photos, and plenty of wagging tails. 🐾📸 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I provide a secure, fenced home where I live with my mum that has plenty of space for play and rest. And because I don’t have a dog of my own, your pup gets my undivided love and attention. There are a few grassy areas near me where I like to take dogs and let them have a good run around. I also make sure to learn about each dog’s individual needs — whether it’s special care, anxieties, or just their favourite daily routine — so they feel at home and fully supported.

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 😊”


Sarah M.

“Sarah did a wonderful job of looking after my 2 cats providing daily health updates & photos to put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend Sarah & home visits.”


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.”
