About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and now own a wonderful rescue dog of my own. I’ve taken care of various dogs for friends and family and have volunteered at a shelter in the past. I know the importance of trusting that your dog is in safe hands and I pride myself on the highest quality of care for your lovely dogs. I work freelance from home so I am in charge of my own work schedule and am very flexible to work around this to suit your needs. I am a true believer in routine being imperative for dogs feeling secure and will always follow and trust your guidance on how to best take care of your pets.
About: Hi, I’m Mayara! 🐾 Pets have been a huge part of my life. Currently, I have two very spoiled cats, but I’m just as happy out on a walk or playing with dogs, which I look after regularly. I know how much your pets mean to you, so my goal is to give you total peace of mind. I’m not here to just "watch" them, instead I’m here to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. You can travel knowing your precious friends are in the hands of a lifelong animal lover who maintains meticulous attention to detail and treats every pet with the same affection I give my own. I'll provide food, water, clean the litter box, entertain them with toys, and walk them, following their normal routine. I can also send daily photos and videos so you can relax, knowing they are well cared for. I have experience giving pets oral medication (though not injectable). I'm happy to offer a free meet & greet so you can get to know me, and also give you a chance to share your pet's routine with me, ensuring I take care of them in the best way possible. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for looking after your pet whenever you need, either for a trip away or for daycare. I live in a flat, with a fence backyard. I live near a park which I love to take dogs for walks. I have 2 cats, which most of the time will be sleeping.
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: 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: From the day i was born there has always been a dog (or other furry friends) waiting for me at home. From my first little childhood dogs Pepsi (a yorkie) and Ruby (a jack russell) to my two current fur babies Axel and Nova (a rottweiller and american bull dog) i have cared for and loved, both my big and small dogs, their whole life. I adore taking them to the beach, playing fetch (even if im usually the one fetching) and the occasional pup cup of course. Ive somehow managed to train both axel and nova to do basic training such as sitting, waiting, giving paw, high fives and other cool tricks i love them to show off. Ive cared for mothering dogs and even nursed the odd few poorly pups into healthy little troublemakers. You can put your trust in me to care for your pooches like they’re my own! I currently work part time (3 days a week) and im free on weekends which means im available most of the week to help your pooches stretch their legs whilst also getting to enjoy the company myself! I am unable to board dogs in my own home as i have two dogs myself however im a very clean person and very respectful of other people’s homes and im also a very wary dog walker from keeping an eye out for other dogs to checking the road is clear and safe if we were needing to cross a road
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

Every owner has their own way of caring for their pet and I am careful to recognise this by replicating your routines and do exactly what you wish me to do to provide consistency for your pet as I know how important this is when helping your pet feel happy in your absence.
