“Ruby has helped us out loads for the 2 days we have booked with her, she’s helped us look after our 10 week old puppy while me and my partner had to work at the same time. Has sent us updates and photos while she was with him at our house and has just been great overall. I would recommend anyone to book with her if they needed a sitter.”


About: I can't remember a time where I wasn't obsessed with animals. Growing up I had rabbits, hamsters and ferrets and we always had family dogs (usually 2 at a time!) which were normally spaniels or Labradors. I have owned my own French Bulldog, Clover, for 5 years now and, whilst she is my whole world and I love her with every part of me, she isn't quite as keen for walks as she once was! I genuinely love being outside walking in all weathers and I am therefore hoping to walk other peoples dogs/care for them to fill the dog walking obsession that Clover isn't always capable of fulfilling! I have worked on Livery Yards, volunteered at the Blue Cross Animal Sanctuary and I have also volunteered at a Dog Hydrotherapy Centre. My parents used to own their own dog walking/dog daycare/dog grooming business for many years so I've plenty of experience being around other peoples dogs. My parents have also had litters from a couple of their spaniels over the years so I also have experience with puppies. I work full time as a property lawyer but I often work from home and I am available for walks early mornings (Clover won't get up before noon!), evenings and weekends. I can also do drop in visits on the days I work from home and I can housesit over weekends. I am happy to go out walking in all weathers! I am DBS checked. I won't have any animals stay at my house as Clover might get cross. However, I am more than comfortable creating a safe environment in another pet owner's home.

“We are so lucky to have found Georgina and Sam. They were brilliant looking after Gertie so well. We came back to a tidy house (tidier than we left it!) and a very happy puppy. They were the perfect blend of calm and laid back alongside understanding exactly what Gertie needed and knowing how best to manage her. Definitely would recommend Georgina to anyone looking for someone special to look after their own four-footed friends.”


“I am so happy with the service Tammi provided. I went away for the weekend and came back to two very happy and relaxed dogs. My dogs are disabled so I was worried how a dogsitter might cope, but she handled it all like the pro she is! House was also immaculately left. If I could give more than 5 stars to Tammi then I would. Thank you Tammi :)”


About: Qualified small animal veterinary surgeon with 5+ years in practice. Growing up around animals on a small holding, pet case has always been a part of my life. I offer pet care services to all animals of different life stages, from young puppies to our beautiful senior companions to make sure they are comfortable with everything they need. I also offer specialist services with medicine administration or any other care that might be needed to give owners that peace of mind that whilst they are away, your pet is in the best possible care. During the week I work from home 3 weeks (on average) per month and have a degree of flexibility within my day to accommodate your preferences on times that you need help. I care for your pets in your home as you prefer, to keep consistency for your animals and make sure their comfort comes first. Unfortunately I’m unable to offer care for pets in my own home as I own a cat who prefers to be the sole pet!

“Jessica is one of the loveliest people, and it’s just a joy to have met her and have her look after my two dogs. She came to stay at our house and I trusted her as soon as I met her. She was such a caring, friendly presence, and an excellent communicator. I’d recommend her without hesitation. The dogs loved her. I can’t thank her enough x x x”


“Recently I’ve had the pleasure of having Nyah take care of my husky and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My dog was very happy and well taken care of during the day with her. Nyah was very attentive, caring and professional, ensuring my dog had everything he needed. I can highly recommend!”


“Vicky was great from start to finish. She took time at the meet and greet to get to know our dogs and their needs and asked lots of questions. During her stay Vicky kept us updated and included photos. Not only did Vicky do an excellent job of looking after our dogs she took great care of our house including watering our many plants! I wouldn't hesitate in booking Vicky again and highly recommend.”


About: I've helped with pets since I was a child but actively cared for dogs and cats for the last 10 years. Used to dealing with animals with prescription and lifestyle requirements, happy to discuss your pets individualities and adhere to their schedules where possible. I work from home so can be there for them when needed. HR professional working hybrid. I work in the office on Thursdays so cannot look after pets that day between 7am and 7pm but otherwise working from home throughout the week so I can be flexible all day around my video and telephone call meetings. For drop in visits, it will likely be early morning and evening with possibly an additional visit at lunch time depending on the location. I have one dog and 2 cats at home. Used to helping with medication, walking (dog only!), vet visits and feeding schedules. I understand all pets are different and look at each opportunity to meet your pets individually. I understand routine can be very important and would look to keep this for you pet (especially in your absence), if possible.

About: I have looked after blind and deaf dogs, senior dogs and puppies, so have experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I am also a volunteer at my local dog rescue, walking rescue dogs. Having grown up caring for my family dogs, I then cared for my sister's two dogs from adolescence, and have dogsat for friends and neighbours. I have boundless energy to play with dogs, but also give them plenty of cuddles :) As petsitting is my full-time job, I am available at nearly all times, and my days are flexible; this also means I can provide constant company for your pet :) When I dogsit in the owner's house, I keep to the dog's regular routine, including walking routes/times and feeding times. Depending on the garden, I spend plenty of time playing with the dog(s) :)

“Karna is a fantastic sitter! Our dog Ciccio loved her company while we were away. She took great care of him, played with him and go for a long walk. We will definitely call her again to look after Ciccio!”


About: I have experience with many different types of pets and am keen to learn more about pet breeds and their natures. I am an avid walker too, so dog walks would be a therapeutic time outside. I have grown up in a pet busy household. Since I was a baby, I have always lived with dogs and Cats. I have had 2 boxers and a Shih Tzu, and have had 3 cats. I have also had; 2 rabbits, 2 Tortoises, and the classic hamsters. In my present life I have 1 of the boxers as stated above, who loves to go on our trampoline (it may as well just be hers), she is very bouncy and loves people and children. When she goes for a walk, she's not fussed about treats as long as she has her 2 balls!! I also own a crested gecko. My neighbours have 2 horses who live in the field opposite me, and although they are not my own, I try to see them every day. I have always been drawn to animals and would love to make more animal friends and spend some time with them and looking after them when you need someone to. My work hours are currently part time/ad hoc. I am flexible with dog walking times which could be discussed. I have a car with a larger boot so I can take the doggies on different adventures. Furthermore, house and pet sitting can be easily accessible with a car, as I am able to drive within a reasonable distance to your house. My work hours can vary each week. Currently these are my set days; Friday: 3pm-6:30pm Saturday 9am - 11:15am With having another job that is ad-hoc. If I am sitting at your house, I will need to leave for a couple of hours for my jobs. I am free most week mornings for dog walking times. I am around in the evenings for feeding too, and/or staying over. When house/pet sitting, I would be able to spend quality time with your pets. Giving them as much love and attention as they need. Feeding, watering and toilet duties as instructed by owners. In the case of dog walking, I will only be offering dog walks on leads to minimise risks. And only 1 dog per walk. I have looked after and owned dogs and other pets my whole life, so am a trust worthy person with a gentle personality. I have been around nervous dogs before and have been complimented by the owners with how well the dogs have taken to me. I seem to draw a calm environment to them and try to not make them feel intimidated or scared. My own dog is can be quite sensitive around other dogs, other than dogs she knows. So I have an understanding of the difficulties of walking dogs in these circumstances too.

“Betina was great! We felt our very happy puppy and our house were in safe hands! She sent us photos throughout and clearly loves and genuinely cares for animals. Highly recommend!”


“Very grateful to Claudia for house sitting for the weekend and looking after our little cat Suki, accommodating our last minute request. The place was left in good hands and Suki seemed very happy to have had good company all weekend. Thanks.”


About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a mum who was a veterinary nurse, I was surrounded by all kinds of creatures and learned early on how to care for them with confidence and compassion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping with a dog rescue charity, supporting the rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs from Serbia—an experience that deepened my understanding of not only behavioural and lifestyle needs but emotional. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats wnd rodents and have built a solid, hands-on knowledge across many species. Whether your pet is big or small, fluffy or scaly, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own Following an accident, I took the opportunity to reassess my career and realised that working with animals brings me the greatest sense of purpose and fulfilment. I’ve now made pet care my full-time profession, combining years of hands-on experience with a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of every animal in my care. To further my knowledge and enhance the services I offer, I’m also undertaking additional training and courses focused on animal care and welfare. This means that—if I’m not already booked—I’m ready and waiting to help whenever you and your animals need me. I make sure every pet’s routine and needs are followed carefully, so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for them at home, you can expect a happy, relaxed pet and a home that’s left just as clean—or even cleaner—than when I arrived. If they’re staying with me, they’ll have plenty of space to roam and explore, with miles of open fields and a secure fenced area to keep them safe while they have fun.

About: I am canine first aid trained and will always put the safety of your pet first. I have a diploma in pet nutrition and currently working on my canine communication diploma. I work well with all ages and sized animals - happy to work with puppies or senior dogs I am currently building my dog walking business so this would be a great way to greaten my experience and hopefully put me in touch with more people with amazing pets. I have a fenced garden and many fields near me for us to go and run around. I will not take your dog off lead unless I feel comfortable doing so (and the owner has said this is okay) When pet sitting in an owners home I tend to follow in the pets footsteps with what they like to do to ensure a building of trust and reliability

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 focusing on looking after lovely dogs! I grew up around animals, and am very proficient in animal care. Walks in the countryside every morning and evening to suit dog's needs. We have great access to rivers, forests and beautiful hills. I have a very large wall garden (photographed) with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. Smaller dogs or dogs with different preferences can do less and have constant supervision. Over the past few years I have fostered dogs, had hound puppies in for summer training, cared for elderly and disabled dogs; as well as full time care of my lovely collie.

About: Hello I am Derrick. I have 7 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience. With dog walking I can also feed your pets. I also have experience in feeding chickens. Contact me on my mobile if you need any further information. Thank you. Lots of fuss for dogs and cats. I can fit your requirements into my schedule as I have time to do so. Thank you very much. I am dependable and trustworthy in looking after your pets. If you'd like, I can provide updates while you're away, ensuring you're always informed. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

Craig K.
“I have a 14 year old cat who requires pain and anti inflammatory drugs twice a day and feeding 3 times. Craig is always happy to give her food and medication when we can’t adhering to her strict dietary requirements, cares for her, checks her water and litter regularly as needed and my cat has now accepted that he’s not too bad (high praise indeed). She doesn’t like people and he understands that she isn’t going to want attention unless it’s on her terms and he doesn’t overwhelm her, scare her or make her angry with unwanted attention, just allows her to be herself. Would highly recommend Craig as he is such a caring and thoughtful man who will bend over backwards to help and care for your pets!”
