About: Lifelong dog owner with 40+ years of experience - skilled in handling all breeds, providing loving care, and as much exercise tailored to individual dogs. I’m at home during the day including weekends and able to give full attention to your furry friend and reassurance to you as an owner. The house and garden are safe and secure with lawned area and fenced all the way round. Ample walks to choose from on my doorstep.

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, I bring reliability, love, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I understand that pets are family. I’m well-versed in handling pets of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra care and patience. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while ensuring their furry friends are happy, safe, and cared for in their own routine. Let me help keep tails wagging! Dog walking is a big part of my daily life, not only because I have my own large breed, gentle Giants to care for, I run a small, personal dog-walking business. I love giving one-to-one care to all kinds of dogs, no matter their breed, age, or needs. My days are spent getting to know each dog’s personality, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, taking things slow with an older dog, or making sure a nervous pup feels comfortable and happy. I love knowing I’m helping dogs stay healthy and their owners feel at ease! I try to create a calm, comfortable, and secure environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel happy and relaxed. I follow any specific instructions from owners—like feeding times, walking schedules, and favorite toys—to keep everything familiar for the pet. I also keep a close eye on their safety, whether that’s using secure leads on walks, using a tracker, checking play areas for hazards, or making sure they’re never left unattended. My goal is to give pets the care and attention they deserve.

About: I don't have any pets of my own but I have grown up in a family dog boarding business so I have been surrounded by different types of dogs from a young age. I am currently working part time at a kennels from where I have been since October 2024. I studied a 2 year course at Kingston Maurward College completing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, where I also completed 440 hours worth of experience at a vets.

When looking after your animals I want to make sure that they have the same routine with little disruption to ensure that they are still happy and comfortable while you are away! When booking please provide all instructions and schedules so that this routine can stay the same as much as possible.

“Danielle is a lovely person to have sit your pet. She’s very personable, attentive and great with communication. Our Spaniel, Bella, is not the most social and sometimes nervous but seems at home with Danielle so she’ll definitely become our go to sitter. I can highly recommend her 👍”

About: Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I have been looking after dogs for over 25 years. I have owned 7 dogs in my life and had my own dog boarding business that offered a home to home setting for dogs for 10 years whilst living abroad in France. Now being back in the UK, I want to continue offering my services for any dog owner that’s in need. I have always believed that a dog should be cared for equally to the rest of the family and therefore should be treated exactly that way. Dogs are what I know best and love the most so I’m very happy to take care of them. I am also a passionate walker and having a companion is always a great pleasure. I do not work so I am able to offer full time care and attention to your pets. I have the time to care for dogs who are needing specific attention or have specific needs. I have an enclosed garden so I can always let them out as frequently as needed. I have lots of fields and forests nearby so I can offer lovely walks when needed. This is my full time job so I am able to ensure your dog gets the best care. I offer a home to home feeling for your dog. I believe it is important that your dog feels relaxed and at home when they come to stay. Every dog has his/her own needs so in order to make sure they feel settled, I am happy to go through anything they might need to feel more secure.

About: Hi - we are Helen and Alan and we have 2 dogs of our own (Poppy and Daisy) - both super friendly and both love making new friends. We live opposite a park and also have lots of lovely walking areas nearby so your dogs will be spoilt for choice! We provide regular walks, lots of love and we aim just to treat your pet as part of the family while they’re with us. We are always more than happy to take your dogs out on walks with us or if you need us to drop round and say hello while you’re out this is also a service we are happy to provide. If you have any questions or need any more information please just let us know. We really look forward to hearing from you I work form home and I have a flexible job so I can generally fit in time for dog walking around you and your schedule We have a secure garden with plenty of space for your pet to run around and we have a big park just over the road for walks. We are also lucky to have a choice of nice long walks really close to us.

About: I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’ve got plenty of hands-on experience thanks to my own dog, Bailey, a 5-year-old Cavapoo who’s playful, great with other dogs but loves a cuddle on the sofa! Whether it’s bouncy puppies who need structure and fun, or older dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC, I’m confident handling it all. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always focused on making your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home. And don’t worry — I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages! I work shifts at Starbucks, so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I make plenty of time each day for walks, cuddles, playtime, and all the care your pet needs. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I can usually find a time that works for both of us. Bailey also loves the company, so it’s a great routine for both of us! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe garden, comfy space to relax, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love (plus a friendly Cavapoo, Bailey, to keep them company). I keep routines as close to home as possible — whether that’s meal times or sleeping arrangements. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I make sure to respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and completely comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had a great love for animals, especially dogs. I’ve had family dogs growing up and adore the family dog that we currently have. I lived abroad in Canada for over a year and had the pleasure of working in a dog day care. I learned a great deal more about dogs and how each dog has different needs. I’ve always had the general knowledge for looking after pets, but working at the day care in Canada gave me a huge insight into much more. I have also completed an veterinary assistant online course, where I learned how to perform CPR on a dog and spotting signs for when they may need help or attention. I’m also very active and love going for walks, which is why I’d be happy to take other’s dogs for walks.

About: In-your-home or at-my-home pet sitting. Neighbours, friends, family and local pet owners have relied on me to feed, walk, brush, play with and cuddle their beloved pets for many years. I've grown up around dogs, cats, a horse, fish and small animals and feel confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I have a large garden and quiet walks straight from the house. This is my full time job so they will have my company and full attention. We have a cat and 2 old border collies at home which we can keep at separate ends of the house if required. I also have a garden office which can be solely for your dogs too. I can give them as many bathroom breaks as required and playtime. Let me know how much walking they need and other requirements. I am used to both old and energetic pets so will accommodate to their needs and ensure they're happy. I'd need wifi connection so I can update you with photos. I'll stay in your home or mine and feed, brush, let in and out, play, walk, unlimited cuddles... Doggy day care: unlimited cuddles, downtime, play time, feeding etc. I have a huge garden and walks straight from the house. Dogs will be walked on lead unless we've agreed otherwise and their recall is reliable. I do not accept aggressive dogs.

Graham H.
“Graham is not only ‘great’ with our dogs, he is also very organised and ‘client friendly’. He has looked after our dogs for many years … From simply taking them on walks in our local woodlands through to ‘overnight stays’ and weekend/holiday cover. I highly recommend Graham as a very responsible and kind pet ‘caregiver’. As a dog owner himself he knows ‘what’s expected’ !”


Rachel S.
“Rachel has been brilliant with our pup. When we first got our puppy we booked Rachel in to do afternoon visits to make sure he was okay when left at home. When he was old enough to go out for walks, Rachel worked closely with us to ensure that he wasn’t over doing it. Rachel has been a key part in his training as well. She has worked with us on recall, off lead walking as well as training inside the home. What’s great is that Rachel doesn’t just take him for a walk round near the house, she takes him to places such as Montacute and Ham Hill which is amazing and I know he enjoys it thoroughly. Our dog always gets left with a treat which is just a lovely added touch. We get sent regular photos and videos so we can see what they get up to which really does brighten our day when we’re at work. Throughout the puppy stage Rachel has helped us in suggesting things that we can do/buy to stop him destroying the house and keeping him safe when he’s at home alone. I’ve always recommended Rachel to other dog owners and will continue to do so. Our dog absolutely loves Rachel and she is definitely a highlight to his day. We love you and so does Ted 🐾”
