About: Hi, we’re Arno and Sarah! Having grown up surrounded by animals, caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. Between us, we’ve had experience with a wide variety of animals over the years. We grew up with dogs, as well as cockatiels, ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, a chinchilla and even a pony. As adults, we’ve continued our love of animals and have been proud fur parents to a Cocker Spaniel, several cats and even a hamster. We work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is with people who are around to keep them happy, settled and treated as part of the family. We’re an active family and absolutely love being outdoors. We regularly head out to woodlands, beaches, parks and countryside footpaths, so your dog can expect plenty of walks, fresh air and adventure if that’s what they enjoy. Equally, we’re happy to adapt to dogs who prefer shorter strolls, slower-paced walks or simply lots of fuss and company at home. We are a busy but loving household made up of two adults, three teenagers and a four-year-old, all of whom have grown up around animals and are confident and respectful with them. One of our teenagers even works in a cattery, so animals are very much part of our everyday life. Our home has both a secure, fully enclosed garden and a separate enclosed yard, providing plenty of safe outdoor space for your dog to explore, play and relax. We also have a very friendly Cocker Spaniel who enjoys the company of other dogs, and our cat is well accustomed to canine visitors and happily keeps out of the way when he chooses. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we’d ideally like to welcome dogs that are comfortable around cats and aren’t inclined to chase them. We know that every pet has its own personality, routine and quirks, and we’ll always take the time to follow your instructions so your dog feels as settled, safe and loved as possible while you’re away. We’ll happily send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, having fun and being cared for as if they were one of our own. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet, we look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! We work from home, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. Our schedules are very flexible, and when we do need to pop out, we can ensure we are away for no more than around three hours at a time. This means your dog can enjoy a calm, settled environment with lots of companionship, attention and reassurance while you’re away. We have both a secure, fully enclosed garden and a separate enclosed courtyard, providing plenty of safe outdoor space for your dog to explore, play and relax.

“Craig and Suzanne were great dog sitters for my furbaby Freddie. Chester their dog was gorgeous and has a lovely temperament. They were very relaxed and are clearly very experienced dog sitters. Highly recommended as Freddie had a great time!”

“Pedro was great with my dog Tuna. His home is ideally set up with an enclosed garden in a quiet area and Tuna settled there quickly and easily. He communicated well with me and was very accommodating when I needed to collect Tuna later than I originally thought. I would definitely book Pedro again if I was ever in Northampton in the future.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have owned dogs throughout my life, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for different breeds, personalities, ages, and needs. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets. I regularly volunteer with local animal shelters and have fostered numerous Basset Hounds through rescue centres, helping them transition from rescue life into loving forever homes. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, including nervous, senior, rescue, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. They're never left alone for long periods and can enjoy a relaxed family environment. Our home is filled with animal lovers. I have two kind and respectful children who adore dogs and enjoy helping to give plenty of love and attention to our furry visitors. I also have chickens, ducks, a bunny, and a cat, making our home a place where animals are truly part of the family. I have a fenced yard. The yard is very large, loads of room to run around and to explore with my two golden retriever girls.

“Bertie had a great time with Greg, who was also very helpful and accommodating , we would not hesitate to use him again when we need doggy daycare”

About: I’ve loved all kinds of animals since I was a kid. I have two family dogs, but as i’ve just moved out my family home I miss having dogs around🐕! I have taken care of dogs my whole life one being a Frenchie and one being a Labrador- so I am comfortable walking all sizes. I have just started a dog walking business on Facebook: Hound Hour. I am currently based in 📍Northampton. I am dedicating all my time to dog walking and eventually pet sitting, to create a patient and caring environment for the animals🐾 ⭐️I also have private insurance for dog walking and pet sitting ⭐️I am currently doing a online canine first aid webinar ⭐️Looking to start a Level 5 in canine behavior and management ⭐️This is my full time job I’m currently unemployed, looking for part time work so I will be taking on dog walking for the time being to keep me busy and around animals (which i love) in the day! Preferably, Drop your furry friend off to me and let them have an enriching adventure across acres of farmland!🌾 I am currently living with no pets of my own, and missing having them around! I believe pets are really part of the family, and will care for yours that way. This means yours will have my full attention, and won’t be agitated by other dogs/ cats if they’re at mine for the day❤️ Please message me everything I need to know about your pet before booking! I would appreciate knowing if they are reactive, have any specific routine, commands they are confident with and favorite treats🍬

“As always James is great, gives me peace of my mind that my dog will be well looked after. Took her out 3 times during the day and sent photos of her snoozing and playing out and about, shes runs to go in and isn't so keen on leaving!”

About: Hi everyone, My name is Maddy and I have furry babies of my own. I’ve always been good with cats and dogs, looking after and caring for them. Out of my three cats, two are rescues and I love them equally. They’re very needy. I have over ten years of experience and I’d love to provide the same level of care for your furry friends as I do for my own.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Growing up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals and at least 2/3 dogs minimum. Most recently we had our own rescue dog who had a variety of health and behavioural needs. But we managed to train him up, build his confidence and he led a happy life. Unfortunately he has now passed away and we made the decision with two young kids not to tie ourselves down to having a dog full time; so this seemed like a perfect solution. I love the idea of my kids growing up around dogs and animals; they are already used to all my extended families dogs, including two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so they are used to big dogs. Rest assured there will be plenty of cuddles and attention for any dogs that stay with us. I work from home full time and we have plenty of space in the house and the garden. I work full time at home and am off work every Friday. Weekends tend to be orientated around getting the kids outside; which generally includes going out on their bikes, round the woods and on walks. I have a fenced in garden and am happy to accommodate to any rules/ boundaries you prefer to set. We are a fairly relaxed and flexible family and our main priority is making sure both kids and dogs alike are safe, looked after and happy.

“Eva is a fantastic sitter. From the very start, our miniature dachshund seemed completely at ease - I have never seen him so calm and quiet when I’ve left him with a sitter he’s never met before. She kept us updated with photographs throughout the day and we had absolutely no concerns about how he was doing. Eva was also so accommodating in terms of pick-up time - nothing seemed a problem. We would definitely be happy for Ziggy to stay with Eva again.”

About: I have lived with a dog in the house my whole life and we have taken care of other's dogs in the past. I have always wanted to work with animals doing this doesn't even seem like work to me. I am very flexible and always happy to work around my clients time. No matter the day or time, I am more than willing to give your furry friends a safe place to stay. I have a fenced in garden and a park right outside the front door. I also have a dog who has ruled this house for eight years, ever since we got him.

About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a dog-loving family taught me the ins and outs of canine care early on—from basic routine and feeding to understanding body language and giving plenty of belly rubs. ​Today, our family includes Pepper, our sweet 2.5-year-old Cockapoo. She is incredibly gentle, friendly, and fantastic around young children. Having Pepper means our home is fully set up for a happy, safe, and engaging doggy environment. Your pup won't just be staying over; they'll have an instant playmate and a warm family atmosphere where they can feel right at home. ​Our Home & Neighborhood ​Outdoor Space: We have a good-sized garden, which is a secure space where dogs can stretch their legs, play fetch, or relax safely throughout the day. ​Walks & Exercise: We are lucky to be surrounded by plenty of great walking routes and open green areas, perfect for everything from energetic long walks to casual strolls. ​Environment: A lively, loving family household where your dog will receive constant attention, care, and supervision. I haven't previously been a dodgy sitter. However I am constantly around my own dog and my mum's three dogs on her farm which include two Vislas and one Collie :) Whilst your pet is in my care it will be only myself taking care of your pet at all times. Because I have a very flexible schedule, pet care is a natural part of my day-to-day life rather than something fitted around work. My daily routine revolves around structured meal times, regular garden potty breaks, and mid-day exercise. Your dog will have constant companionship, frequent check-ins, and standard potty opportunities every 2–3 hours throughout the day. Whether hosting a dog in our home or visiting yours, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and predictable environment tailored to your pet's needs. ​In My Home: Guests join our regular daily rhythm—enjoying our secure garden, playing with our friendly Cockapoo Pepper, going on local trail walks, and relaxing in a warm family environment. ​In Your Home: I strictly follow your pet’s existing routine, maintaining regular feeding, walk routes, and medication schedules while ensuring your home remains safe, secure, and tidy. ​Communication: For all services, I send frequent photo and text updates so you always know your dog is happy, well-exercised, and cared for.

About: I have had dogs throughout my life and have many years of experience caring for them. For 11 years, I regularly looked after Harvey, including caring for him when he developed diabetes and following his specific routine and care needs. I also regularly cared for my son’s dog, Hugo. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe and settled in their usual routine. I’m a patient, caring and responsible person and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of the dog in my care. I enjoy being at home and am happy to give dogs plenty of companionship, attention, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also happy to fit in walks and maintain their usual feeding and daily routine as closely as possible. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to discuss their individual needs and routine with their owner beforehand. Your dog's safety and well being will always be my priority. I have a secure, enclosed backyard with solid brick walls, making it safe and escape-proof for dogs to enjoy some outdoor time. I will always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine, and I’ll make sure they are supervised, comfortable and treated with patience and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care.

About: Having owned my own dogs since childhood and cats in the last 20 years I am well versed in caring for them. I have owned a mini menagerie of animals with my own children as well as offering support to my local community to take care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, birds and the odd rescued creature. I am a part time student (mature) and so am at home most days during the week and weekends are certainly negotiable. I am able to base myself at another home if that suits both parties better. I love having dogs and animals in my orbit as I go for walks, enjoy snuggles and "chats" and pootling around with them - in between essay writing! I have a fenced garden and it is secure. I recently lost my labradoodle to old age sadly but I still have a cat, rats and am currently overwintering a hedgehog. I am equally happy to discuss staying at a clients home if that suits both our needs better.

“Franklin had a great time with Veja and her dogs for the day, we felt we were leaving him in very capable hands. Veja is so lovely and has excellent communication - quick with replying and sending updates. Also flexible/accommodating with timings. Would highly recommend 🥰”

About: Distinguished by a personalised approach, I go beyond happy walks – I create tail-thrilling adventures, connecting with your pet and ensuring your furry companion's joy with every step. I am currently quite busy during the weekdays, so the best days for me to provide care services are Fridays and Weekends or some evenings. I care for pets and dogs at my home as if they were my own providing personal care at all times, I love it so much.
