“Catherine is fabulous! I couldn't recommend her enough. She kept me frequently updated with pictures throughout the day and made my pooch feel welcomed and at home. Someone you can absolutely rely on to care for your animal :) thank you x”
“Very caring towards my senior dog. Excellent communication whilst on walks and sleeps. They really took extra care as Picasso has his additional needs and I am very grateful. Thank you I would highly recommend”
“Absolutely lovely couple who took amazing care of Max. The weather was really hot when Max was with them and they found really novel ways and games to keep him mentally stimulated when it was too hot to walk. Max lived his time with them and will be using again in the future”
“We were so pleased to find Zak, and him and Theo really seemed to get on right from the initial meeting. The consistent photos and messages we received from Zak while we were away really put us at ease, knowing that Theo was enjoying himself - spending most of his time snoozing from the sounds of it! We'll definitely be booking Theo in to stay with Zak again soon :)”
“Robert and his family provided a home from home for Archie, helping him to settle in, and providing company through out the days of his stay, giving him regular walks and exercise and putting up with his quirks. We will be happy for Archie to holiday in their family home again.”
“Magnus had a fantastic time staying with Annalie - we got frequent photo updates showing a very happy Staffy snuggled on the couch, playing, basking in the garden, and going on walks. Magnus would definitely stay with them again!”
About: i’ve been around animals all my life and have a huge passion for caring for them. i have qualified a level 3 diploma in animal care with a triple distinction and completed over 300 hours of animal care/dog grooming work experience, significantly growing my confidence within the industry. This led to me starting my own dog walking business in September 2025. i have looked after many different breeds and ages of dogs since 2021, and have ample experience surrounding their care and needs. My FaceBook is Em’s Wandering Woofs, feel free to message me there or on here for enquiries🐶🩷 i am currently working part time as a waitress, typically only on weekends, and work early mornings as a cleaner in a local shop, so am available and willing to work from 10am-5pm (can sometimes do later/earlier) Monday-Friday with some weekend exceptions I am able and willing to adapt to any pet owners home and the needs of their pet. I will always follow the rules and preferences of the pet owners and their home and will closely adhere to any routines/specific needs in place. i am calm and happy and will provide a peaceful but bright environment for your pet!
“Really happy that we booked with Joanna. This was the first time we had left our dog with someone who wasn't family so I was a bit nervous when looking for someone, but as soon as I met Joanna I felt at ease. She is lovely and obviously really cares for Dogs. We had regular updates with photos whilst we were away which was nice and reassuring. Really great, would definitely recommend! Thank you :)”
About: My first pet was a cat when i was 7 and it lived 21 years. I have always loved pets and now have a 6 year old Tibetan Terrier who is great around other dogs. I work from home so am able to give your pet company and attention. My garden is completely walled in so your dog is able to go in and out as they please. I work from home and there is always someone in to keep your pet company. I walk my dog every lunchtime and evening down the strawberry line or in the fields so they are well exercised. I have a fairly large house with a walled garden and wooden floors downstairs. I also have a friendly 4yr Tibetan terrier for company. There are dog beds and a sofa with blankets on.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always had a genuine love for animals. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbours, and I also volunteered at a local animal shelter where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and basic grooming such as bathing and brushing. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, so I always aim to give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions your dog is used to. Whether it’s a long walk, keeping them company during the day, or helping them burn off some energy, I’ll make sure they’re well looked after and happy. I work from home a lot and have a lot of weekends spare so have plenty of time to give attention to dogs! I have lots of patience and years of experience with family dogs! I have a fully fenced garden and live on a quiet estate, which provides a safe and calm environment for dogs. Your dog will have plenty of secure space to play, explore, and relax without any safety concerns. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable so owners can feel confident their dogs are in a safe and caring environment.
“Jasmine and Harry are absolute gems! Teddy had a wonderful time with them and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have him again. He was well cared for and I was kept updated with photos too. Thank you both so much xx”

“Louise was absolutely brilliant while we were away. She knew exactly how best to look after our cats so they were comfortable, and put us at ease with regular updates and photos. Our cats were clearly relaxed and cared for.”
“What an absolute diamond! I cannot thank Gillian enough for looking after our girls. The updates and photos were so cute and welcoming and made me so happy to look at after my surgery. I left a notepad with instructions and Gillian followed them to a T - no fuss! Re-booked again as she gives me peace of mind. Thanks again Gillain! 😊”
“Katie is amazing! She was very trustworthy when looking after our kitten overnight. The house was left clean and tidy. She also provided us with plenty of updates! Would definitely book Katie again for overnight sitting!”
About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe! I’ve been qualified as a vet now for 2 years so I am very comfortable with a wide range of animals! I grew up going to a child minders who had a pet sitting business as well, so have cared for cats since I was little and threw myself into learning as much about them as I could. As a vet, I’m happy to care for cats of all ages and demeanours, and can also administer medications, which older cats often need.
“Christine helped us out a lot in June with our dog and she was amazing with Annie! She always seemed super content when we got home and all the little reports we got were so sweet, we could tell Annie was loving it! Thanks so much for being so fab and accomodating too. Highly recommend!”
“Amber followed my instructions to care for my cat. She sent photos and a short update every day which left me feeling reassured. When I got home Clover seemed happy and relaxed.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received. She was incredibly communicative and I absolutely loved how she kept me updated during every visit. She was always thoughtful, kind, and very attentive. What I appreciated the most is that she truly understands the worries of cat owners when we are away and missing our cats. Her updates were reassuring and made me feel completely at ease while travelling. Highly recommended”
About: I guess all I have is a lot of experience handling animals. I graduated as a qualified veterinary nurse in 2023 and now I am actually studying on the veterinary AGEP course at the University of Bristol. A friend told me about this app and I thought it'd be a good idea to relax and de-stress, especially as my dog is sadly no longer with us. Ideally I would be working any time friday, saturday or sunday. I will occasionally be availible during the day throughout the week but never during the evening (apart from friday). In a pet owners home, I would take the pet(s) out at 8am with breakfast at home. After a break to do some work (+/- cuddle time), some brief playtime if appropriate followed by lunch and back to work in the afternoon. In the evening, I prefer to have playtime followed by diner and then an evening walk an hour later. This is all incredibly variable with regards to your pets normal schedule.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and have regularly cared for cats belonging to friends and family. I understand that every cat is different and I’m happy to provide companionship, playtime, feeding, litter tray cleaning and plenty of fuss on their terms.
“We knew as soon as we met Carrie she was the right fit for looking after our moggie. Pixel was still very nervous after a recent house move and Carrie was so patient and gave us lots of reassurance and updates while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to use Carrie again.”
About: I had my Reggie from the age of 12 weeks old until he was 15+ years old. He loved attention from people but did not like the company of other cats. He had been through several surgeries in his lifetime so I am experienced in post-surgery care and administering medication orally. He was very much a lap cat and slept on our bed most nights. He tolerated most dogs we boarded and kept himself to himself.
About: I did dog behaviour in college and university. I worked with dogs for over 4 years and fixed an issues owners may have! I work with a positive reward system as dogs progress well with pleasing us. Treats and toys are my thing for dogs I never use tools that could cause potential harm if used incorrectly, I have an assistance dog of my own who is very well behaved and definitely rubs off on other dogs, she’s also a great play friend on long walks! I love to make walks enjoyable and different, including lots of mental and physical stimulation so they go home feeling tired and happy! I do work a part time job but I’m looking else where for something I enjoy a little more at the moment, I’m happy to be pretty flexible happy to take last minute bookings! I care very much about dogs and during dog sitting or walking there safety is my priority, it’s very rare I would leave them in the house on there own unless absolutely necessary but 99% of the time I’m sure even if I have to go out they can come! I always plan ahead so I know what’s going to happen and when, feeding times and routine for a dog is important so I’m happy to stick to any routine to make them feel safe and comfortable
About: I have never not had multiple cats since birth. I love my furry baby’s so much! I have a sassy mainecoon and a naughty oriental cat. I know cats inside and out 🐱 very happy to play with ur cats all afternoon, or just chill with them cuddled up! Wouldn’t even feel like a job 🤩
“Once again I was extremely happy with Anne's care of our elderly cat, Maisie. I was kept updated with information and received a photo each day, even a 'purring' video, which was reassuring to an anxious pet owner.... 😊”
About: I understand how stressful and nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog with a stranger, from my own personal experience. Your dog is a family member, and that's why I make sure that every dog I look after is given the best care. I will send daily updates and photos to put your mind at ease so you can see your dog having fun. I have 20 years of experience caring for not just for dogs but, cats, small animals, sheep and horses and would love to welcome your pet into our home! I am currently retraining to be a vet at Bristol university so on the days I am out of the house your dog will never be alone more than 3/4 hours as my partners works from home as an accountant. Along with my own Springer spaniel, yours will get a walk of at least 45mins twice a day or less (dependent on your dogs needs). We go out for our morning walkies at 7am on the beach and then for a lunch time stroll along the promenade at midday after some afternoon enrichment toys at home we then head off out for an evening stroll. It really is a holiday for your pups too! In winter please bring a towel for muddy days and let me know if your pup hates the bath! Let me know if they have any special requirements, if they dislike certain dogs, children etc and how they typically behave when interacting in public. We cannot accept dogs that cannot be left alone without barking or who have a tendency to bark in general in the house. If you are unsure how your dog behaves in other peoples houses or this is your first time leaving them we would prefer to have a trial afternoon with them. We will to stick to your pups home time schedule as best as possible and as there is always someone at home we can accommodate medication times. We usually walk in more secluded quieter areas during first stays while we all get accustomed to each other and learn the behaviour of the dogs. We will always use a lead and exercise common sense when dealing with other off lead dogs. I have experience with reactive/nervous dogs so have an understanding of their needs and extra attention that needs to be paid on walks.

“Ryan and Rebecca looked after my dog on fairly short notice, found the time to do a meeting and greet before hand and were both extremely friendly and easy to deal with. Arguably more importantly, they were excellent with the dog, showed a real interest and care and sent me multiple photos of her throughout the day. Throughly recommend and would absolutely use again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs through family pets for many years, and for the past three years I’ve been the proud owner of two dogs, Teddy and Aya. They’re both energetic, loving, and very social dogs who keep me active and on my toes every day. Caring for Teddy and Aya has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in my care. They love being around other dogs and especially enjoy playtime, so your pup will always have friendly company. While my experience hasn’t been professional, I truly love dogs of all breeds and sizes and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care and make sure your dog feels happy and at home while you’re away. I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and messages while you’re away so you can see how your dog is doing and feel at ease. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every dog with the same care and love I give my own. I currently work part-time from home, which allows me plenty of time to give your puppy lots of attention, care, and play throughout the day. I’m available Monday through Saturday and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front porch as well as a garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, dogs are welcome to relax freely and be included in daily activities. At night, I usually allow dogs to sleep in the bed with me for comfort and companionship, but I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is used to or if you prefer. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions regarding routines, sleeping arrangements, feeding, and care to ensure your pet feels at home and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Catharine, a Lancashire lass now living in Weston-super-Mare with my partner, Tom. We’re both huge animal lovers and would love to look after your pet 🐾 We live in a detached house with a secure, fully fenced garden, and because we both work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. We don’t currently have pets (or children!) of our own as we’re still settling into our first home after recently moving. We’d love a pet of our own one day, but for now we’re more than happy being the people friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. We genuinely love having animals around the house. I’ve been animal mad for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats, but my soul dog, Sandie, was extra special. He lived to the amazing age of 19 and was a huge part of my family. We had an especially close bond in his senior years when he became less mobile and relied on me a lot for comfort. Caring for him taught me so much about patience, empathy, and understanding an animal’s individual needs. I’ve done obedience training and even dog dancing with one of my previous dogs, so I’m comfortable with all sorts of personalities, routines, and energy levels. Our home is very peaceful, and we do our best to make every pet feel relaxed and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the garden, or snoozing on the sofa after a busy day, they’ll get plenty of love and attention while they’re with us. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for them as if they were my own and to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after from the moment they arrive. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have questions :) I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.
About: Have always had a dog either within the family or as my own companion. I am now retired and looking for flexible work doing what I enjoy and so walking with a dog or two seems like a good place to start a new chapter. Especially when you can hand it back to the owner when tired (Like grandchildren). I'm retired and so available 7 days a week from early morning to late evening as required. Unless if I have something else booked. When walking your dog they will be kept on the lead and walked at their pace. I will need to discuss their needs and habits with you to stop me being dragged in to local sausage sellers shop.
About: I have been working with animals since I have been 17 and I just love the way every dog is different and I enjoy going out with walks and feeding them every morning my own dogs have their own set routine in the morning I am currently not working at the moment so I have seven days a week to look after any other animals and any sort of animals I have worked in kennels before and had to stay there overnight to make sure all the animals were safe and fastened into that tense
“Great service, Anne was very welcoming and Buddy really enjoyed his time with Anne having access to the garden and enjoying plenty of exercise during walks. Highly recommend”
“Rob looked after my dog extremely well, he and his family were incredible with my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others :) She actually didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Rob and Family!”

About: Had family pets throughout my life and have cared for and walked my friend’s and family’s dogs when needed. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! 🐾 I’m currently working shifts so have plenty of time to care for your doggo! I’m an early bird, who loves being outdoors. I’m usually out running on the mendips or down the strawberry line. I have a large dog-proof garden with plenty of room to run and play. There are no dogs living at my home so can cater for reactive or nervous dogs too!

“Tilly was absolutely wonderful- I felt completely at ease leaving my puppy with her. She gave frequent updates and her home was lovely. Pup came home very happy and relaxed. I know she’d love to go back!”
“We needed to make a last minute trip to a place where dogs weren’t allowed. Looking at everyone on Rover, Jasmine stood out to us because of her experience with dogs especially as she works at the vets! We messaged very early and she replied very quickly, more than happy to help us out! Dropped her off and had pictures sent to show she was happy and even the pick up was good, we had Rosie back very happy! We will defiantly use Jasmine again if we are back in the area 10/10”

“Gillian was so good with Ob dog, she was happy to walk him or when it got too warm just play with him in the shade. She was a very efficient communicator answering any messages straight away and leaving us nice photos every day. Obs is going to miss her and we'll definitely be booking again 😊”
“Stan loved Natalie as soon as she came for his trial walk, which reassured me he was in good hands. I received lots of photos of Stan on his walk and when Natalie left him to go stan wanted to go with her! I feel very happy leaving him in Natalie's care when I go away.”
“Christine was so lovely to me and Ted, I felt that conversation came super easy and naturally. I was kept updated and everything was logged perfectly. I believe she was the perfect match for Ted as he can be a little difficult- he looked so happy ☺️. I will 100% recommend Christine and will be booking again 🫶”
“Seb was superb and we really struck gold finding him to walk our dog over the holiday period while we were away. He has vet experience which was great as he was able to also tend to Charlie’s ear issues (above and beyond). We had a pre meet which was great. We got daily updates and I’m told Charlie got so excited looking out window awaiting him each day. Thank you so much Seb - would highly recommend.”
About: Hi, I'm Rebecca and I live in Weston-super-Mare with my partner, Ryan. We are both lifelong animal lovers and have shared our lives with dogs since childhood. Over the years, I have cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments and individual needs, giving me the experience and confidence to provide personalised care for every dog that stays with us. I have a particular soft spot for Pugs. My own Pug, Pug, passed away a few years ago, and he is one of the reasons I am so passionate about providing the kind of care I would want for my own pet. We both work from home, with dedicated home offices, so your dog will enjoy plenty of company, supervision and interaction throughout most of the day. As with most working households, there may occasionally be times when we need to pop out, meaning your dog could be left for up to a couple of hours, but this is kept to a minimum and we will always discuss this with you before confirming a booking. Every dog is different, so we take the time to understand their individual routine, preferences and personality. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing fetch, joining us for a trip to a dog-friendly café, or relaxing on the sofa for cuddles, we will make sure they feel happy, comfortable and completely at home. We understand that leaving your dog with someone else takes a great deal of trust, whether it's for one night or a longer stay. That's why we provide regular updates, photos and messages throughout their visit, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and enjoying themselves. Every dog in our care is treated with the same kindness, patience and affection we would give our own. Before each stay, we take the time to learn about your dog's personality, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, sleeping arrangements and any medical or special care they may need. We are also happy to follow any specific instructions, including medication, dietary requirements and established routines, to help your dog settle in as comfortably as possible. To provide the highest level of care and attention, we intentionally keep our boarding numbers low, welcoming a maximum of just two dogs at any one time. This allows us to give each dog plenty of one to one attention in a calm and relaxed environment. We live in a comfortable, secure home just a few minutes' walk from the beach, as well as beautiful woodland walks, parks and gardens, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for exercise, exploration and fun. Before every first booking, we arrange a meet and greet. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your dog's individual needs, answer any questions you may have and help your dog become familiar with us before their stay. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and caring for them as if they were our own. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message. Pet care is part of our everyday life. As we both work from home, we are able to provide your dog with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. As with most working households, there may occasionally be times when we need to pop out, meaning your dog could be left for up to a couple of hours, but this is kept to a minimum and we will always discuss this with you before confirming a booking as we want to make sure our home is the right fit for every dog. Typically they have a walk in the morning, toilet break in the afternoon and another walk in the afternoon/evening followed by a toilet break before bed. This is filled out with playtime, cuddles (if wanted) and trips out. However, we can adapt this depending on your dogs needs and energy levels. We tailor each dog's day to suit their individual needs and preferences, whether that's an energetic walk, a trip to a dog friendly café, or relaxing with us at home. Because we only board a maximum of two dogs at a time, we are able to give each one the time, care and individual attention they need. Your dog's safety and comfort are our highest priorities. We provide a calm, clean and secure home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We only board a maximum of two dogs at any one time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of individual attention and ensuring a relaxed atmosphere. Before every first stay, we arrange a meet and greet so that we can discuss their routine and make sure we are the right fit. We follow each dog's usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any special requirements. Our home is safe and secure with easy access to nearby beaches, parks, gardens and woodland walks for enjoyable exercise and enrichment. We know how important your dog is to you, so we'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: My partner and I love walking and would love our own dog. But due to working commitments and being away a lot we can’t have our own doggie so would love to make friends with your doggies and take them out! We often have a foster dog with us but would only bring them along to meet if pre-arranged with you. I work from home during the week but we are free at the weekends to take your fur babies for walks when you are unable to yourself. We do often have our nephew’s poochon with us, but she is a very friendly girl. We’d be able to care for your doggie in our house short term, but happy to visit them in your home and pick them up/bring them back.
About: Hi there! I have taken care of animals all my life, growing up on a farm caring for various species, breeds, sizes and temperaments. Neighbors, friends and family members have all relied on me to care for their animals when away for various periods of time ranging from a simple check in and walk to full round the clock care for months. No matter what your pet needs, I will be able to accommodate! :) My current work schedule allows me to work month on/month off so when I am off work and home, I am fully available all day every day to look after your furry family member :) I live in a quiet area in a semi-detached home with a fenced and gated back garden and a big park around the corner for your pet to run around in! There is also the beach a shirt drive away for extra fun! Note: If your pet requires crating, this is perfectly fine but you will need to provide the crate!
About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe, I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon and starting a new role which means I’ll have some days off during the week and weekend. I grew up at a child minders who also had a pet sitting service, so from a young age have looked after anything from hamsters and tortoises to large-breed dogs. I have my own dog and tortoise who I adore! As a vet, I’m comfortable with giving medications at home and following your pet’s routine as closely as possible! I have an attention to detail and am more than happy to give you regular updates and photos. I’ve been working as a vet now for 2 years and starting a new role this summer! I have my own tortoise and dog who I adore. In my new role at work my shifts are constantly changing, which means available dates are not regular. But we can have a chat about what you and your pet need and work out a plan from there! On weekdays I can possibly do drop ins before and after work for cats, so just drop me a message to check dates that aren’t available on my calendar. I believe all pets are different in terms of what they need when their pet parents are away or busy. Sometimes this is a change of environment and other times it’s home stays. Unfortunately since I am in rented accommodation I cannot provide overnight stays, but I can walk dogs and do drop ins for a variety of pets. I can also house sit during the day. Due to my own pet responsibilities, overnight house sitting is not ideal.

Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have questions :) I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.
About: For the last thirty five years, I have cared for my own dogs. I have looked after them from a young puppy at eight weeks old through to our old timers, one of whom went blind and needed that extra love and time. I have a large, secure garden for our current two male dogs, a Labrador and a Springer Spaniel. Both are extremely friendly with everyone, including children. I'm at home every day which makes like easier, especially for any dog who may experience separation anxiety. I believe that dogs are precious beings and deserve care and attention when they go on their holidays as well 😊 Happy to host all age of dogs. I'm a retired so at home for good chunks of the day. Having got two dogs, we are well versed in dog needs and care. I have a large secure garden where the dogs can wander around in safety. My home is big enough to accommodate a couple of extra dogs.
About: I understand how stressful and nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog with a stranger, from my own personal experience. Your dog is a family member, and that's why I make sure that every dog I look after is given the best care. I will send daily updates and photos to put your mind at ease so you can see your dog having fun. I have 20 years of experience caring for not just for dogs but, cats, small animals, sheep and horses and would love to welcome your pet into our home! I am currently retraining to be a vet at Bristol university so on the days I am out of the house your dog will never be alone more than 3/4 hours as my partners works from home as an accountant. Along with my own Springer spaniel, yours will get a walk of at least 45mins twice a day or less (dependent on your dogs needs). We go out for our morning walkies at 7am on the beach and then for a lunch time stroll along the promenade at midday after some afternoon enrichment toys at home we then head off out for an evening stroll. It really is a holiday for your pups too! In winter please bring a towel for muddy days and let me know if your pup hates the bath! Let me know if they have any special requirements, if they dislike certain dogs, children etc and how they typically behave when interacting in public. We cannot accept dogs that cannot be left alone without barking or who have a tendency to bark in general in the house. If you are unsure how your dog behaves in other peoples houses or this is your first time leaving them we would prefer to have a trial afternoon with them. We will to stick to your pups home time schedule as best as possible and as there is always someone at home we can accommodate medication times. We usually walk in more secluded quieter areas during first stays while we all get accustomed to each other and learn the behaviour of the dogs. We will always use a lead and exercise common sense when dealing with other off lead dogs. I have experience with reactive/nervous dogs so have an understanding of their needs and extra attention that needs to be paid on walks.
About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience but will tailor each walk to each specific dog. I will never take more than two dogs at once and only with the owner’s permission or request otherwise it will be one on one. I am Very physically fit so can give your dog the level of exercise they require. No driving time - can walk straight from your house. Am fine with puppies, I have a seven month old Cockerdoor of my own. Can also offer overnight services either at your home or mine. I live next to the beach. I have recently downsized and moved to Somerset. I used to work as a headhunter but am only wanting to return to the odd freelance day so have full availability and flexibility. I have a fenced yard and a dog flap. I live with my husband and seven month old Cockerdoor in a village inn often East Somerset across the road to the beach. Also happy to stay away.
About: With 19 years of pet care experience, I’ve raised 4 dogs (including boxers a miniature poodle and a bichon frise) and now care for two cats (a Maine Coon and an Oriental). I regularly dog sit my neighbors’ rescue dogs and love working with all temperaments. I enjoy long walks and would love to have your dog join me! I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and nervous rescues, and I always treat pets like family. I only work part time at the moment so I’m flooded with free time and looking for a fulfilling way to fill my gaps! I normally only week Friday-Saturday closes and the odd weekday afternoon. So plenty of free time to keep ur little guys company! I listen to what you tell me about ur pets before hand and take it from there! Excited pets I will enrich and take on lovely walks, nervous pets I can build a bond with my understanding their boundaries and spoiling with treats! I will always provided a safe and happy environment!
About: I had a sprocker spaniel called Jasper for eight years, unfortunately he has passed due to cancer. I loved having him around but am no longer in a position to have a dog, so I do a lot of pet-sitting (as I always have done), as I love spending time in the outdoors and with animals. I have worked with many different dogs over the years and have learned so much about dog behaviour and their individual needs. Having owned a very energy rich spaniel I am really passionate about stimulating dogs and making sure they get lots of time in the outdoors to keep them happy and healthy. I also have had three cats in the family growing up and feel very comfortable and confident caring for them also. I really love to spend time with animals and it provides me with much needed down time from by busy degree working towards becoming a doctor. I am familiar walking with dogs that may have additional needs, such as if they are reactive or nervous, just let me know what works for them :) I am always free during the weekday evenings. I also am available on Wednesday afternoons. I often am around during the weekends also and can be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly, so don’t hesitate to ask! I love giving my animals a good fuss, and will always be there for tummy rubs and cuddles if they are! Also through having my own animals I know how to keep them safe at all times. As a medical student I can be trusted and am responsible.
About: I truly believe animals are your best friend for life and should be treated no differently than people. I’m hoping to meet new characters through this business! I used to own a bernese mountain dog who sadly passed who was the most gentlest, loving creature ever however I have 2 cats of my own both lead and harnessed trained, they are also trained to come back inside the house after we let them have some garden time on a call command. I’ve taught them to be gentle with new guests and children that sometimes visit our home. I will cater to your pets needs as each pet has a different routine and have different responses to motions. I promise to keep a smile on your little furry friends face whilst keeping them at ease and safe I am 19 I live with my family I have been devoted to animals ever since i was a little kid, they have been apart of my whole life and my only wish is to give back to the pets, as animals have saved my life! I am looking for full or part time work but even if I manage to be accepted into a job; caring for animals has always been my main dream since I was a kid. I am fully flexible with times and dates just let me know! :) I make sure my cats have the right toys to keep them stimulated rather than destroying our furniture. If I meeting a new pet I will always let them come to me first and figure me out. Trust is a slow building process but it’s always worth it!
About: I have always been around dogs my entire life, and have previous experience with a dog walking company and have since began my own. I am experience in dealing with anxious and reactive dogs, dogs with behavioural issues and bigger breeds. i have never found a dog that was to much and i have also fully trained dogs before including multiple of my own. I am currently doing pet care full time so am always around for any type of pet care just please reach out and see if i’m available! i’ll alsways be happy to help if im not already helping out some other furry friends. i have a fenced garden with 6 foot fencing. i do have my own cat so if your animal is coming to mine they just need to be ok with that and my cat (Boba) would be happy to make a new friend! I would be home majority if not all of the day with your pet, this would also include walks or any other care your pet may need during this time.
About: I did dog behaviour in college and university. I worked with dogs for over 4 years and fixed an issues owners may have! I work with a positive reward system as dogs progress well with pleasing us. Treats and toys are my thing for dogs I never use tools that could cause potential harm if used incorrectly, I have an assistance dog of my own who is very well behaved and definitely rubs off on other dogs, she’s also a great play friend on long walks! I love to make walks enjoyable and different, including lots of mental and physical stimulation so they go home feeling tired and happy! I do work a part time job but I’m looking else where for something I enjoy a little more at the moment, I’m happy to be pretty flexible happy to take last minute bookings! I care very much about dogs and during dog sitting or walking there safety is my priority, it’s very rare I would leave them in the house on there own unless absolutely necessary but 99% of the time I’m sure even if I have to go out they can come! I always plan ahead so I know what’s going to happen and when, feeding times and routine for a dog is important so I’m happy to stick to any routine to make them feel safe and comfortable

“Absolutely lovely couple who took amazing care of Max. The weather was really hot when Max was with them and they found really novel ways and games to keep him mentally stimulated when it was too hot to walk. Max lived his time with them and will be using again in the future”
“We were so pleased to find Zak, and him and Theo really seemed to get on right from the initial meeting. The consistent photos and messages we received from Zak while we were away really put us at ease, knowing that Theo was enjoying himself - spending most of his time snoozing from the sounds of it! We'll definitely be booking Theo in to stay with Zak again soon :)”
“Magnus had a fantastic time staying with Annalie - we got frequent photo updates showing a very happy Staffy snuggled on the couch, playing, basking in the garden, and going on walks. Magnus would definitely stay with them again!”
“Really happy that we booked with Joanna. This was the first time we had left our dog with someone who wasn't family so I was a bit nervous when looking for someone, but as soon as I met Joanna I felt at ease. She is lovely and obviously really cares for Dogs. We had regular updates with photos whilst we were away which was nice and reassuring. Really great, would definitely recommend! Thank you :)”
“Fraser and his wife were absolutely lovely and Magnus liked them from the first meeting. We felt confident we were leaving our beloved boy in good hands. We got multiple photo updates and Magnus seemed to be having a great time. When we picked him up we heard even more good stories about their time together. You couldn't find a nicer couple to entrust your dog or cat to.”

“Anna was awesome. I have never used a dog sitter before, so was quite apprehensive as he is twelve. But Bruce loved his time with her. She gave lots of regular updates with videos and pictures and had great communication before dropping him off too. And was happy to meet up a few weeks before he was booked in. I highly recommend her 😊”
“Macy took such good care of our little chap I think he misses her. The whole family were welcoming and some enjoyed walks and playtime too. This is obviously a dog loving household. Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”
“Andre has been absolutely amazing and so accommodating. Doug clearly had a fantastic time on his holiday and enjoyed playing with the other guests. Can't thank Andre enough who helped us out having been let down by someone else!”

Rupert communicated well with updates and pictures throughout the day. We now book in regularly as Siencyn loves his stay so much!!!”
“Mac has had a few overnight stays with Kayla now and I can honestly say - Kayla is a God send 🩷 Mac adores her and loves his time with her and Echo. I can leave him with her knowing he is happy and in the most capable hands 🩷”
