“Jonathan was an absolutely amazing sitter! We contacted him quite last min to look after our gorgeous big lad whilst we went to get wed and he was just so helpful and really coordinated spending loads of time with our Drax around his schedule! He kept us updated with pictures and messages whilst we were away and we have come home to a very happy dog! Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be booking Jonathan again for when we need a pet sitter ☺️”

About: I have been taking care of pets since 8 years now. Along with my husband, I moved countries, leaving our pets ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) behind with our loving family who currently take care of them! Making use of all this built up love and longing for our fur babies till we meet them again! x I am currently on mat leave and husband works 4 days which gives us plenty of time to board according to our availability and your needs. We have a fenced garden outside but the cats will be mostly inside our house which is secure and with me at home at all times, safety isn’t a problem.

About: I have a lot of practice in training and caring for puppies, rescues, fosters and older dogs. I will make any adjustments necessary for your pet to thrive I am currently in university, my course is very flexible and I have a lot of free time to help your furry animals. I’m free all weekends and most evenings/mornings I will follow any requirements you feel suit and I will walk and care for them at your pace and make sure they are comfortable no matter what

“Sid has his first overnight stay last weekend and had a great time and was spoilt rotten. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mick for any dog care, we will definitely be using Mick again in the near future.”


About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) almost all of my life, and became a veterinary nurse straight after leaving college. I just love animals! My vet experience means that I am happy to care for any pets who may have additional medical or care needs, and that I am pet first aid trained. I currently work part-time (3 days a week) and on my days off I spend most of my time at home or dog walking, so pets will have someone with them most of the time. We have a large fenced garden to play in, with grass and paved areas, so plenty of space for games and cuddles. I love dog walks on my days off in many of the local parks.

About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x


“Debbie was absolutely brilliant with our FIVE, yes FIVE dogs ! A mother dachshund and four five week old puppies for the day. She came in advance to meet us all and sent me updates through the day. I knew straightaway that she was an experienced animal lover. I would recommend Debbie 100% and will definitely ask for her again if I need more help over the coming weeks.”


About: Since I was 8 years old, we have always had dogs in the family. I bought my own house a couple of years ago and whilst I currently work from home all the time, there is a chance I may be back in the office or need to travel for work in the future. Due to these circumstances, I have been unable to commit to having my own pet. I miss having a dog and it would bring me a lot of joy to help you look after your pet temporarily. I work from home every day and have flexible working hours which give me the opportunity to go walking whenever. This gives me the time to provide your pet with the care and attention they deserve. I have a private fenced off rear garden which has a mixture of patio, grass and decking. I also live close to several walks which I can adapt the length to meet the needs of your pet(s). I'm happy to let your pet(s) on the furniture or/and the bed. I will also update you with pictures of how your pet is doing whilst in my care.

“Jennifer was absolutely outstanding. Happy to work around our busy schedule and looked after our little angel to perfection. Regular updates and photos during the visit made it extremely reassuring and felt like a breeze leaving her in very capable hands. Would highly recommend!!”


About: Had pets in the family for all my life. All breeds of dogs from Jack Russell’s, cockapoos, greyhounds and Rottweilers. Many of them rehomes meaning I’m confident in handling dogs that may need more attention, nurturing and support. I primarily work from home as a technology consultant, meaning I’m flexible around getting your pooch out and about for exercise and play. I’m an early bird, so no problem around wake up calls for the furry pal wanting to get out. We have a fenced garden with half an acre and f fresh grass areas. We have a super friendly and submissive cockapoo, he wants to be everyone’s friend, is old enough to understand when others aren’t in a playful mood. Routine is early morning walk, mid morning play, lunchtime stroll and an evening hike. Timings can be flexible and amount of physical exercise can be adapted.

About: I have always had a dog since I was very small, I’ve grown up around them and have always had a passion for animals.. most of all dogs! They make such great company and they really are a girls best friend! I am trained in canine obedience, canine first responders and have a diploma is dog grooming. If dogs are staying with me they will have the freedom of running around the back garden and coming inside as they please. I ensure the dogs I’m looking after can have lots of excercise and attention. I have a secure & spacious back garden with a dog friendly park within walking distance. I am an early riser so your dog will be seen to each morning bright and early starting the day with a nice long walk once their breakfast has gone down.
