I have booked Oscar to watch my cat Napoleon twice now and both times he did a great job! He sent me plenty of pictures and videos while I was away and let me know if he was eating and drinking well. I would book him again any time.

We had a really positive experience with Alannah. She followed all the instructions carefully and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout. It was clear that she genuinely cared and took great care of our cat, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Overall, a fantastic sitter—we would definitely book with Alannah again and highly recommend her to others!

Amy was just what we needed. Our Paddy was at ease and the drop in time was great to get him in the garden and a bit of company. Amy was on time and great with communicating. Will be using again 🙂

I work from home so am around all day and can do up to 3 walks per day. I live near the coast so can provide great walks both long and short. My dog is active and loves making friends.DBS checked due to my job and happy to provide i work from home full time. I can adapt to whatever your dog needs in terms of attention, walks and toilet breaks. I take my dog Winnie out first thing in the morning around 8.30, again at lunchtime and after work at 5. i have shared custody of an 8 and 11 year old who are both confident around dogs and have enjoyed a number of dog sits with me. i have a fenced garden and can keep your dog close to me when i work in my office. my female dog Winnie is active and friendly, she loves to play but chills in the house. I can crate your dog if you provide and will implement rules but I’m happy to have dogs on furniture and beds.

We could not have asked for anyone more perfect to visit our cat during the Christmas period. We received lots of videos and photos; our cat, Myrun, sat on her lap, and Fiona brought toys and played with her. I highly recommend!

About: Hi, I’m Stephen – a reliable, and passionate dog walker who treats every dog like my own. With many years of being a responsible dog owner myself I have decided to take it one step further and become a dog walker/sitter. I go beyond just walks – I provide safe, engaging, and enriching experiences tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup or dog is high-energy, shy, or a senior needing a gentler pace, I’m confident in my ability to connect with them and make every outing a positive one. What sets me apart? Consistency, communication, and a genuine love for dogs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences. You’ll get updates every walk, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in capable, caring hands. As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around what matters most – caring for dogs. This means I’m available during the day for regular walks, last-minute bookings, or consistent routines that work for you and your dog. My flexible hours allow me to give each dog the time, attention, and energy they deserve, without being rushed or overbooked. Because I set my own schedule, you can count on me for dependable availability and responsive communication – whether it's daily walks, weekend outings, or midday check-ins. When your dog stays with me, they’re part of the family. I’ve made my home a cozy, dog-friendly space where dogs or pups can feel safe, relaxed, and totally at ease. Whether it’s a comfy spot to nap or a secure garden to explore, I’ve got everything set up with their comfort and safety in mind. I stick to their routines, keep a close eye on how they’re settling in, and always give updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. Trust means everything to me — and I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Available Monday to Sunday every week, I have two cats at home which get along with other animals and could be two potential new friends to your pet. I have a fenced backyard for your pet to play in, multiple animal beds and sofas for relaxation time and live next to plenty of open fields and nature trails for adventurous walks with your loved animal companion

About: I’ve always grew up around dogs and have a cockapoo of my own who is turning 6 this year. He is my pride and joy and have had him since he was a puppy. I should be available to mind your dog when my beloved boy is not in the house which is usually every other weekend as he goes to stay with other family. I work full time so would not be able to take your dog unless I was off work during the week. I am usually available on weekends , please feel free to message so I can check availability and in some cases re- arrange things. I would be available most evenings if required for dog walk or dog sit. My current work schedule is: Tuesday 8.30-6.30 Wednesday 8.30- 6 Thursday 8.30-6.30 Friday 8.30- 6.30 My partner finishes work at 2.30 on a Friday. Please message with any requests as unless I am working I can usually be quite flexible with my arrangements as my dog enjoys his sleep overs with other family. I have a high fenced back yard. I am happy to take any bedding/ blankets belonging to the pet to make them feel more comfortable within my own home. I also allow dogs on my furniture and bed as feel they should be treated like part of the family . The dog would never be left alone within my care where I go they go and if they don’t like social settings that’s fine, walks and chills on the sofa also work for me! For every dog I consider taking I would like to meet the dog and owners to understand the dog and make sure I can meet its needs. I am also happy to send owners updates of the dog when they are under my care as I know it’s Important to know your dog is having a good time!

About: Every dog and cat needs their own level of individualized care. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sitting—each animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I make sure those are respected and followed closely. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who may need extra patience, medication, or mobility support. For younger pets, I can reinforce basic training and good habits like leash manners, crate comfort, potty routines, and calm behavior. For seniors, I provide gentle care, close monitoring, and a calm environment so they feel safe and supported. I also pride myself on being reliable, observant, and communicative. I pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or health, keep pet parents updated with photos and notes, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to make sure they feel happy, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working full time as a dog walker and I absolutely love the job. It suits me perfectly and it keeps me and the dogs fit as well 😀 I care for pets like they’re part of the family—whether they’re in my home or yours 🐾💛. Here’s how I make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable in either setting: Respecting your routine I follow your instructions closely—feeding times, walking routes, training rules, and house guidelines. Comfort in familiar surroundings Keeping their normal environment, toys, and sleeping spots just the way they like. Daily care & enrichment Meals, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, meds if needed, and lots of affection.

Eve is a professional, caring person with the added advantage of her being a veterinary nurse and I will definitely use Eve again to look after Bella. She came to meet us prior to the booking, though Bella hid behind the sofa!!! Hopefully Bella will make friends with Eve next time (very nervous cat initially). Honestly contact Eve she is lovely and trustworthy. X

About: Owner of 2 gingers. One is now 20 and the other hitting 16yrs old. I'm well aware they rule the roost and I don't argue. Free to be available mornings and nights 7 days a week if required. Always flexible and not rushed, will stay around for cuddles if they are willing I'd come to your house. I feel this reduces the stress on the animal. Their smells, their furniture better for them to relax in your absence

About: When taking care of your pets I will ensure to stick to any schedules and provide great care of your pets. I will also play with and help train your dog(s) (I cannot train cat's or small animals). My dog wakes me up at 7 but I tend to only go for a short walk with him and go back to bed and fully wake up around 9am (can wake up earlier) and feed my dog around this time and also take him out for a potty break. I play with him and train him taking him on a few more walks. His last potty break is at 10:30pm and I will sleep at 12am I have two enclosed yards and I am crate training my own dog and can provide crate training if needed. I make sure to keep my home as clean as I can to ensure that there's nothing that my dog (or any other animal) can ingest that they shouldn't have

Alex, our nine-year-old cat Lacey had the best visits with you. We really appreciated all of the updates and pictures/ videos of you ladies getting to know each other and clearly having a lovely time. I'm an anxious Cat-Dad who always wants the best for Lacey, so these updates and coming home to her clearly having had a great time with you meant the world to us. You went above and beyond at every turn Alex, so we won't hesitate to invite you back to look after Lacey next time we're away. Thank you so very much! 🐈‍⬛

We couldn’t be happier with Eve as our pet sitter. Eve took wonderful care of our cat Mango while we were away, and we could tell immediately after returning that Mango was relaxed and happy. Eve sent us daily photos and detailed, professional updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, and Eve is not only very reliable but also an incredibly kind and warm person. We truly felt that Mango was in loving and caring hands. We highly recommend Eve to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
