About: I’ve had the privilege of having and taking care of animals my whole life. As a kid/teenager I’d always take out the family dog (Shih Tzu) for fun walks! I’ve also grown up with cats which means I’m very educated on both cats and dogs, understanding their needs and how to keep them happy and healthy. Over the summer in 2025, me and my partner fostered a senior German Shepherd named Gibs as his owner had unfortunately passed away so we gave him a loving, attentive place to live until we found his forever home. Gibs would of course be taken on regular walks and we made it our duty to provide fun and exciting walks that catered to his old age. I now own 3 lovely cats with my partner who are thriving, one of which being a stray who was living in unfortunate circumstances, I rescued her and nursed her back to health and now she’s a very happy little cat who gets spoilt rotten! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have plenty of time to take care of pooches and kitties! I like to fill my time as much as possible and I can’t think of a better way to do it than to take care of animals. It would be my preference to care for pets in the pet owner’s home as opposed to mine, this is because I own 3 cats and don’t like to disrupt their environment with an unknown animal. That being said, I am very flexible and am more than happy to cater to you and your pet as much as possible in your home, making sure the animal feels comfortable and gets all of the care they need whilst building trust with the owner.

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 offer reliable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide updates and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and safe. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not something I squeeze in. My daily routine is built around walks, feeding times, play, rest, and check-ins, so pets get consistent attention and calm, reliable care. I plan my day to match each pet’s schedule — whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines — making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as if they were my own. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. Staying in their familiar environment helps pets feel calm, secure, and stress-free. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, grew up with all kinds of dogs from Alaskan Malamutes to Pugs. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I have a very friendly and excitable Puggle called Queenie and my whole world revolves around her. My previous dog was a Tibetan Terrior who in his older years become rather poorly. He was blind and had diabetes, I had to test his urine (used to run around the garden with a Tupperware box trying to catch it every morning 🤣) and inject his insulin everyday so complex needs are no problem. Please just send me a message for a no obligation chat. Very excited to meet all your fur babies ❤️ I’m available Monday through to Sunday at the moment between the hours of 08:00 and 21:00 for walks and drop ins. From the 1st September I’ll be available for walks and drops ins weekday evenings and most weekends. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly little pug to keep your fur babies company! I can crate your dog if necessary while in my care. I can do drop in visits to let your dog out in your own garden, feeding etc. I can walk your dog somewhere you would prefer, where your dog is comfortable or I can take them on adventures. I can do puppy drop ins multiple times a day if also needed. Happy to bring my dog along to any walks/drop ins for socialisation if requested.

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

About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem. I have a fenced big garden so your puppy will be very safe here with a big place to play. They are allowed to go to my bed if they feel safer in that way.

About: With a love for dogs, my main goal is to make sure every dog is happy. After growing up with and always owning dogs I have years of experience both caring for, walking and training our 4 legged companions. Including puppy and rescue dog training, senior care and dealing with anxious dogs. I have also completed a recognised dog training diploma to further build on my knowledge and am currently studying a dog first aid diploma to expand on skills and ensure further safety. After completing the dog training diploma, I've decided to fully commit my time to dog care services and ensuring dogs are fully understood and happy. I am fully available for any dog services required. With a spacious house and fully enclosed garden, there is plenty space for dogs to enjoy. With an understanding of how important mental stimulation is to dogs as well as physical stimulation, treat balls, snuffle matts, puzzle toys as well as general obedience tricks can be used, up to what the owner would be happy with/ which treats the dogs can have. Plenty of dog napping spaces are available including on sofas (if parents allow this at home) as well as 2 large dog crates for dogs who are crate trained and more comfortable in there, the doors to crates can also just be left open. My beautiful saluki cross girl is super friendly and loves making new friends. However, there is also plenty space for her to be kept completely separate if your dog would prefer to be alone. For house sitting in the dogs home, any parent rules and instructions would be followed and plenty dog cuddles given.
