“Cora took care of the morning walks for our enthusiastic collie for a couple of weeks while we were recovering from covid, and was punctual, communicative and friendly; plus Rylan loved every minute of it. Recommended wholeheartedly.”


“I don’t understand why she marks everywhere outside, would have thought it’d stop after she was spayed but got worse. She’s not her full self at the minute but we are giving her leg another week on different painkillers and reviewing next Monday. Thanks Cluny!”


About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. My parents use to train hearing puppies for the blind and I grew up with two dogs, one who sadly passed away at 19 and one who is currently 14 (both border terriers). I work 9-5 during weekdays and have free weekends. I love looking after animals so I am happy to travel to look after your pet/pets! I work remotely so I am available most of the time (except Thursdays). I am more than happy to come and stay for a day, walk at any time or just pop in for a little bit. I look after my own dog and use to dog sit regularly.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have been looking after dogs since 2020. I can take them overnight, and the longest I had a dog was for 5 weeks when the owners had a family emergency outside the UK. It is now a very normal routine for me. I work from home 5 days a week, and have been looking after dogs since 2020, usually for friends and family. When I am out and about, I take them with me. I have a 2 bed house, and a fenced backyard, and I normally go out for walk, weather depending, 2 - 3 times a day. My daughter (18) loves to play ball and there is a huge park 1 min away from where I am, so that is handy. For pet owners home, I will follow as instructed.

About: Extensive and secure garden, full access to the house. Great countryside walks in all directions! I spend all day everyday caring for animals and believe in attention to detail and a lot of fun ☺️ Currently having the summer off from university and doing light studying. I take care of my horses for 2 hours during the day, my dog is on the farm with me, lots of space to play away from the horses in a supervised environment. I have a very large garden with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. I walk my border collie twice a day on long walks. Smaller or dogs with different preferences can do less and be supervised.

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, slobber and all - growing up dogs were such a big part of my life, treating them like one of the family! I’m currently working in the afternoon/evenings part time so have lots of free time during the day for dog walks and free time during the week for over night stays. I don’t have any dogs of my own, I have a good size gated garden which will keep the doggies safe while in my care.

About: I've looked after both dogs and cats for years but I have relatively more experience with dogs since I have had two. I love animals and consider it to be great joy to be around them, to look after them, and to make amazing memories. I live in a quiet and safe area, I'm both an avid walker and a runner and I currently have a lot of space for your dear ones in my life. My own dogs were very well trained, and I know that at the heart of caring for animals they need a lot of love and attention. I'm very reliable and consistent in the way in which I show up for both people and animals in my life, and I'd love to be the carer for your pets while you're away, and make their time slightly easier. I currently work part-time at home so I have a lot of space for your furry friends. While I'm working couple hours a day, they'd be staying with me in the same room. I'm also happy to come and stay at your home, and spend my day/night there! I make sure that the dogs are within my sight at all times both inside and outside. I never let a dog loose unless the owner has ensured that it's safe to do so.

About: Hi! I’m a happy-go-lucky South African with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up surrounded by both domestic and wild companions including dogs, cats, farm animals, and even a tame meerkat, wolf, and baboon! Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and the only thing I truly miss from home is the joy of spending time with them. Pet sitting allows me to fill that love gap while giving your furry (or feathered!) friends the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I currently work remotely so I can travel Nature walk companions will certainly help my daily step count . Also a trail running lover if there are any super fit dogs out there. I am completely sober living , have passions for well-being and pretty great with animals. (If I do say so myself) I would prefer to fit into the pets routine in their own home or bond over long walks. Happy to do toilet and tlc pop ins

“Eleana and Jack were great. Meg and Monty had a great time on their walks and we were kept well up to date on how they were getting on which was very reassuring. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals including donkeys! Happy pets, peace of mind! I love pets so much since I was young I am a second year student in university and I am home for summer, I’ll have plenty of time at home because I need to choose my final year project! There is a room in the house allocated to my pet that is spacious and it has a baby gate to ensure safety! Garden is gated as well

“A really fabulous experience and I cannot thank Alina enough for looking after our dog so well; Holly absolutely loved her walks and was taken such good care of, we felt so happy that she was in such great hands. Communication also excellent, thank you!”


About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.

About: I have had pets in the family since I was a child, and love being around all breeds of dogs. I have experience volunteering at the local Dogs Trust charity, have been involved in puppy training and looking after various pets of our family & friends. Myself & my husband rescued a mixed breed dog from Hungary in 2021 called Jennifer, after she was found in a park giving birth to 9 puppies. If boarding at our home, your dog will have Jenny as a playmate. However if you prefer, I can offer walks & drop ins solo. I’m currently working as a part-time flight attendant. This means that I won’t have regular availability during the week, however the dates I mark as available will be my rest days from travelling, so will be around for the entire day to care for your dog. We have a completely fenced garden with bi-fold doors which in summer can be left open for your dog to wander in and out of the garden as they choose/to take toilet breaks. Our recuse dog Jennifer will be great company for your dog, providing a play date at the same time as your dog being looked after. Our home routine is already based around dog life, so yours will fit right in!

About: My golden retriever and I enjoy exploring walking areas and playing in the house! I have always loved dogs and finally got to take care of my own for the last 4 years, and have loved every part of it. As a dog parent myself with a busy life, I understand the need for someone else to take care of your dog when you are busy, and so I am happy to be that person for you! My dog and I always go on a long walk everyday in the mornings and evenings and enjoy it. We’d love for your dog to join us! I can walk your dogs in a route of your choice if you preferred or I’m happy to take your dog along for an adventure! I can do both on lead and off lead walks if needed.

About: As a family, we have been pet/house sitting over the past years. Initially this was full-time, whilst travelling, and we now housesit for our own holidays, as we loved it so much! I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats (as well as having owned my own in the past), with many reviews on other sitting apps. I don't have pets of my own just now and absolutely love 'borrowing' other people's! I'm very active and enjoy long walks with the dogs and will be around for company if house sitting. I currently work part-time so have plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I generally only organise house-sits for days I'm not working, so I can be around as much as possible. I'm available for walks any time of day, and sitting most days of the week- just drop me a message and I'm sure I'll manage to fit your pets in ☺️ I only care for pets in their own home and am available for overnight stays and walking. I feel that caring for the pets in their own environment is the more enjoyable for everyone, as the dogs will be relaxed.

“I previously hired Jessica to take care of my dogs while I was away on vacation and I must say I was extremely impressed with the level of care and attention to detail provided by the sitter. From the moment Jessica arrived I could tell she was a genuine animal lover. She followed all of my instructions to the letter ensuring my dog's routine was not disrupted in any way and with them both eating two different types of foods, she was so good with them and making sure they ate separately. Jessica also sent me daily updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care services.”
