“Marcus and Mia gave my dogs such a loving and safe time when they went to stay. I received up to date information, including a video, that the dogs were happy and enjoying their stay. I'm so appreciative I found such a lovely place for my dogs to stay, where I didn't have to worry about them. I'd 100% recommend Marcus and Mia to look after your dogs if you're looking for somewhere for them to stay. Thank you x”
“Sorting out a time was easy and Rachel was very accommodating. My dog stayed with them for 5 nights and had a fantastic time and was well taken care of. I think we've found our new regular place to take care of Biscuit. Thanks!”
“Highly recommend Mark and Helen for their fantastic care of my pesky little dogs for ten days. Pre visit was a great idea, they strolled in pre holiday with no qualms!”
“I was worried about how my dog would be in a new place because hes not good with strangers but he really took to Georgie and her family. i got multiple photos and updates every day. i truly couldn't be happier with their service with my tucker. 1000/10 reccomend we will be using her again in the future.”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Halley and Eddie were great - from the moment I dropped Trevor off I knew he was going to be well-looked after for the weekend. Halley was brilliant at communicating from the initial enquiry and throughout Trevor's stay, sending updates with pictures too which were really appreciated. Trevor loved his walks over at Cox's Meadow and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Halley and Eddie.”
“Piper had a good 3 week stay with Daniel. We received updates throughout, which really put our minds at ease, and by all accounts she was very well looked after. When she was collected happy and content we’d definitely recommend Daniel and would happily book again!”
“Sarah and her wonderful family looked after Luna for a few days. She was very well looked after and I would highly recommend Sarah as a great option to look after your dog.”
“Claire was super responsive and was really professional and welcoming to us which was great as it was our first time leaving Rufus with her. He definitely had fun and not sure he wanted to come home!”
“Heather is a natural dog mummy! We were nervous leaving Briar with her as she had never been left with anyone other than family before. Heather and her family were relaxed and welcoming, their home was perfect for our little dog. We had multiple updates, photos and videos that were reassuring and made our experience so positive. I would highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would definitely leave my furry princess with her again in the future. Our little dog had a fabulous time.”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“Sarah was brilliant with our playful pup Chester, he has lots of energy. When we picked him up he was so happy and relaxed. and smiling. I knew he had been in good hands as he just chilled when he got home and wasn’t anxious. We would definitely use Sarah again.”
About: Hi, I’m Karolina! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were my own, I’d love to help. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned both a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Miniature Pinscher mix, so I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a gentle giant, a little bundle of personality, or somewhere in between. I also worked in an animal shelter, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role included walking, feeding and transporting animals, caring for dogs recovering from surgery, helping new arrivals settle in and providing day-to-day care. Some dogs were full of confidence, while others were nervous, reactive or very high-energy and needed more patience, space and understanding. That experience taught me how important it is to adapt to each animal rather than expecting every dog to behave in the same way. I’m comfortable caring for reactive and high-energy dogs and understand that certain situations — such as meeting other dogs, runners, cyclists or being somewhere busy — can be challenging for them. I’m happy to follow the routines, boundaries and training methods you already use, and I’ll always work at your dog’s pace rather than putting them into situations they’re uncomfortable with. Alongside this, I’ve looked after dogs through BorrowMyDoggy and spent three years living with and helping care for a Cocker Spaniel and a Westie. Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll take the time to learn their routine, get to know their personality and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Whether they need long walks and lots of activity, a little extra patience, or simply someone to curl up with on the sofa, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how they’re getting on. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or want to tell me a little about your pet and their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 I currently work in hospitality, so my schedule varies and often gives me extra flexibility throughout the week. In my free time, I love being outdoors and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve been on both sides. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, following their usual routine, respecting your instructions and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well looked after.
“Thank you James for taking great care of Maisie over the weekend! I highly recommend James if you want somebody who actually cares about dogs and understands their needs he is the man to trust with your four legged family member. He sends pictures and updates too!”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have always jumped at the opportunity to pet sit! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each dog happiest. Whether your pup needs lots of walks, playtime, and adventures or would rather spend the day snuggling on the sofa, I’m happy to match their vibe and routine. With clear instructions from you, I’ll make sure your dog gets all the care, attention, and love they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog, and I’d love to be that reliable, safe, and caring person for you and your pup. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home! 🐾💕 I'm a self-employed yoga instructor with lots of free time throughout the day and evenings to give lots of love and support to your pup! My availability is very open during the week and Sunday but with Saturday mornings being busy for me from 7am to noon. I live in a flat on the 2nd level of an apartment building. I have access to a large unfenced garden and dog-friendly park just outside. I do not own a crate, but am more than happy to assemble yours in my home if needed! I offer walks and overnight pet sitting services done in your own home as well if that is more convenient with you. With plenty of experience in fostering dogs, I feel more than comfortable around all doggy personalities and abilities.

About: Hi, I’m Karolina! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your cat as if they were part of my own family, I’d love to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Although most of my experience has been with dogs, I’ve always loved cats too. We had our own family cat, and these days I’ve somehow become friends with three of my neighbours’ cats—they’re usually waiting to say hello before I’ve even made it through the front door after work! I also worked in an animal shelter, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role included feeding, transporting animals, helping with recoveries after surgery, welcoming new arrivals and providing day-to-day care. Every animal was different, and that experience taught me to be patient, gentle and to always adapt to their individual personality and needs. I understand that cats like things done on their terms. Whether your cat is playful and curious or prefers a quiet nap and their own space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well looked after while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your cat is in caring hands. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or special requests. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend! 🐾
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and more so now as an adult. I have a miniature dachshund of my own & spend a lot of time with my mum’s 5 year old dog too. I have often spent spare time previously dog walking & visiting animals of friends & family whilst they were away. I can’t wait to meet you & your lovely pet!😊 I work full time but from home. So I am able to take care of your pet anytime of the day. Whether this is popping in throughout the day to check on them, walking them in the mornings, evenings and on my lunch. I can also house sit any day of the week as I am able to work from anywhere!😊 I am able to work with all breeds and types of animals. If your pet needs some extra care or has any additional needs please let me know, I am more than happy to help!
“I had complete confidence in Gemma who dropped in to feed my cats while I was away. She sent photos each day which was reassuring as they are outdoor cats. I can recommend Gemma and would use her again”
“I can't say enough good things about Tatiana. She was literally the best and our 2 cats loved her! One of my cats is really shy and Chunky warmed up to her right away. She sent pics every day and I even got pics of Chunky cuddling with her and it made my heart melt. I recommend Tatiana for anything you need - she was so sweet and wonderful and got along so well with the kitties. We can't wait to have Tatiana watch our kitties again!”
About: I’ve always had a family dog since I was born - two weinmaranas. This encouraged me to walk both neighbours and family members dogs from a young age of 10. Therefore, animals have always been a passion of mine leading to me committing to a zoology degree at university. It has taught me how important animals are for our ecosystems as well as for our own health. Apart from university, I have no other commitments meaning I am only available on weekdays: Monday/Tuesday- 12:40-4:30, Thursday/Friday- 9:15-12:30. I am fully available over the weekend. I will follow all the owners instructions of the routines and/or equipment they would like me to use appropriately to ensure the best care for their pet.
“Highly recomend Emily, it was our first time leaving cats with carer and Emily was very understanding we felt that she knows what she is doing, well organised,honest and reliable! She was comunicating through out our whole holiday couldnt recomend Emily more ! Cats was very happy when we arrived ! Thank You and see You soon for sure!”
About: I’ve looked after friends’ cats while they’ve been away, including feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning litter trays, spending time playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of company and affection (if they want it!). I know every cat has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.
About: Cat's deserve a specific type of care, full of patience, respect for personal space and observing body language. Having grown up in a household with multiple cats at any time, including both indoor and outdoor cats, alongside dogs, I understand cat behaviour very well. I respect that every cat has its own unique personality, whether they are outgoing and cuddly (just like my late ginger cat, Treacle) or prefer to watch from a safe distance (like my late tortoiseshell cat, Tinkerbelle). Because pet sitting is a huge passion for me, I offer flexible drop-in schedules to keep your cat's feeding and toilet routine and sleep and play habits consistent while you are away, proving them with the type of love and company they prefer. Reading cat body language: I let cats set the pace. I am patient with shy or anxious cats and know how to build trust slowly without forcing close interaction. Kitten and Senior care: I am familiar with the gentle care required for older cats, managing slow-paced routines and adequate nutrition. Aswel as this, I am experienced in interactive play sessions to keep younger cats mentally enriched and away from scratching the furniture. Environment upkeep: I am committed to keeping litter boxes clean (if used), water and food stations fresh and maintaining a calm space in your home so that your cat feels safe and relaxed.
About: Experienced in pet and house sitting, always receiving positive feedback from owners. Treating each animal with the respect they deserve, and importantly ensuring every owners mind is at ease whilst away from their very important companions! I am also a pet and equine photographer.

About: I’ve looked after so many different breeds of dog for family, friends and neighbours, including my own pug and frenchie. I’m confident in applying topics medication, grooming and bathing I work flexibly full time, working from home 4 days a week. I go on daily hour long lunchtime walks anyway, as well as being free most evenings and weekends I’m comfortable in crating and grooming pets, as well as giving them peace or cuddles when they need or want it.

“Can't recommend Claire enough, really helped us out incredibly last minute, and Ayce came home after day care incredibly chilled out and happy, he obviously had a great day!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with four schnauzers and a cocker spaniel. I also had my own schnauzer, Teo, back in Colombia, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I run my own freelance interior design business from my home studio, which gives me the flexibility to organise my schedule around my clients’ and their pets’ needs. This means I can offer home visits throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends where possible, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I’m also happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit for both you and your pet. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority. I currently offer home visits and dog walking, as I believe many pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. At the moment, I don’t offer pet boarding at my own home as I don’t have a garden. However, it’s something I’d love to offer in the future when I have the right outdoor space. Until then, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring visits in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.
“Absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend Toby enough. Excellent communication. Very flexible. Calm. Our dogs loved him and have come home utterly shattered and happy! Toby was also completely unphased by our rescue who has a few quirks!”
“Kim helped with pick-up and drop-off when we requested, which we really appreciated. The care was good overall, but communication was quite slow. Thank you for taking care if Lara for the day.”
“Sophie was once again an absolute star with Joey! As he was unfamiliar with being in new surroundings, he unfortunately left his "mark" in multiple places in Sophie's house shortly after we arrived. Sophie was very understanding and forgiving :-) Joey has a great day exploring and giving and receiving cuddles, and Sophie was kind enough to brave the storm to drop him at home quite late at night. Fab experience again and I will have no hesitation in continuing to use Sophie's services and recommend her to others.”
About: My name is Annabelle and I live in Cheltenham. I have owned dogs as family pets for the last 12 years and grew up around dogs. As a teenager I would walk family and friends dogs daily but unfortunatley couldn't own them due to my parents work schedules!! My children have grown up around dogs (and cats) and show so much affection towards them. I enjoy walks in the woods in our local area as well as travelling further afield to take advantage of longer walks. I have set my availiability calendar to the days that I work from home. I am more than happy to visit your dog daily, I can either walk them alone or with Buddy. Or they can come and play with Buddy whilst I am home. I work with the door open so your dog can be inside and outside as much as they like. I have a fenced garden and the back door is open at all times whilst I am here. Buddy, my dog, will be in the house too so they will have a friend to play with. I have a medium and large crate available should you require your dog crating at anytime.

About: I learnt the responsibilities of caring for dogs early on in my childhood. I have grew up with dogs since I was a baby, and have always had a deep love for animals. I took this passion and love of animals and wanted to pursue it as a career. I studied animal management at college where I gained 3 years work experience in a boarding kennel. I then wanted to expand my knowledge further and continued my studies at Hartpury University in Canine Training and Performance, where I graduated with a 2.1 (upper second-class honours). Through this time I have gained a lot of experience on caring for a wide range of animals. Including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and even pigs! I volunteered at a pig rescue in Ireland where I learnt a lot about these spectacular animals, who are a lot like dogs! I've learnt to deal with animals of all kinds of temperaments and how to pick up on body language to adapt my approaches quickly to ensure safety for all parties involved. This also helps to ensure that the animals are as stress free as can be. I do work full time however, I am typically available Mondays and Tuesdays, and most evenings. However this can change due to my work schedule. I have a fenced of garden to ensure security during their stay. I am also very knowledgeable about canine behaviours and training so am easily able to pick up on signs of distress when out on a walk to adapt and change to the environment
“Lisa has been completely brilliant, accommodating Her Ladyship and I very last minute. Marcie has really engaged well with Lisa and is always delighted to see her. Thank you Lisa, you’re a star.”

About: I am new to the pet setting world, however I've grown up and owned dogs all my life (including collies, spaniels, jack russels and labs). I've looked after friends dogs and spent time walking dogs on borrow my doggy. I'm patient and comfortable with many animals, including cats, guinea pigs, rabbits etc. I am not currently in a position to have pets where I live.

About: Having grown up in a multi-pet household in Manchester my entire life with three dogs and three cats, caring for and loving furry friends isn't just a hobby for me, it's second nature.

I like to prioritise safety, trust and stress free environment through the following: In advance meeting: Before any booking, I am very willing to meet you and your pet in person to learn their personality, favourite sleeping spots and any dietary or house rules. Security: I ensure doors and gates are always double checked and keys are kept securely to maintain the security of your home. Emergencies: I am attentive to sudden mood, appetite or behaviour changes and any concerns will be expressed in my commitment to clear communication with you throughout my stay. Daily updates: You'll receive photo and video updates and a note after every visit so that you never have to worry how your furry friend is doing.
“Stef walks our dogs every week and they always have a great time! Stef is excellent with our labradors, incredibly patient and caring. One of our dogs is a puppy and Stef has been brilliant reinforcing the training and teaching Lana new skills.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with four schnauzers and a cocker spaniel. I also had my own schnauzer, Teo, back in Colombia, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I run my own freelance interior design business from my home studio, which gives me the flexibility to organise my schedule around my clients’ and their pets’ needs. This means I can offer home visits throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends where possible, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I’m also happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit for both you and your pet. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority. I currently offer home visits and dog walking, as I believe many pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. At the moment, I don’t offer pet boarding at my own home as I don’t have a garden. However, it’s something I’d love to offer in the future when I have the right outdoor space. Until then, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring visits in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.

“Marcus and Mia gave my dogs such a loving and safe time when they went to stay. I received up to date information, including a video, that the dogs were happy and enjoying their stay. I'm so appreciative I found such a lovely place for my dogs to stay, where I didn't have to worry about them. I'd 100% recommend Marcus and Mia to look after your dogs if you're looking for somewhere for them to stay. Thank you x”
“Sorting out a time was easy and Rachel was very accommodating. My dog stayed with them for 5 nights and had a fantastic time and was well taken care of. I think we've found our new regular place to take care of Biscuit. Thanks!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Halley and Eddie were great - from the moment I dropped Trevor off I knew he was going to be well-looked after for the weekend. Halley was brilliant at communicating from the initial enquiry and throughout Trevor's stay, sending updates with pictures too which were really appreciated. Trevor loved his walks over at Cox's Meadow and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Halley and Eddie.”
“Kristen was very patient with Treacle and made her feel welcome. I appreciated the daily updates and photos that showed she was having a good time. I have recommended Kristen to other dog walkers, and would have no hesitation leaving Treacle with her again.”
“Piper had a good 3 week stay with Daniel. We received updates throughout, which really put our minds at ease, and by all accounts she was very well looked after. When she was collected happy and content we’d definitely recommend Daniel and would happily book again!”
“Sarah and her wonderful family looked after Luna for a few days. She was very well looked after and I would highly recommend Sarah as a great option to look after your dog.”
“Claire was super responsive and was really professional and welcoming to us which was great as it was our first time leaving Rufus with her. He definitely had fun and not sure he wanted to come home!”
“Heather is a natural dog mummy! We were nervous leaving Briar with her as she had never been left with anyone other than family before. Heather and her family were relaxed and welcoming, their home was perfect for our little dog. We had multiple updates, photos and videos that were reassuring and made our experience so positive. I would highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would definitely leave my furry princess with her again in the future. Our little dog had a fabulous time.”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“Sarah was brilliant with our playful pup Chester, he has lots of energy. When we picked him up he was so happy and relaxed. and smiling. I knew he had been in good hands as he just chilled when he got home and wasn’t anxious. We would definitely use Sarah again.”
About: Hi, I’m Karolina! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were my own, I’d love to help. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned both a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Miniature Pinscher mix, so I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a gentle giant, a little bundle of personality, or somewhere in between. I also worked in an animal shelter, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role included walking, feeding and transporting animals, caring for dogs recovering from surgery, helping new arrivals settle in and providing day-to-day care. Some dogs were full of confidence, while others were nervous, reactive or very high-energy and needed more patience, space and understanding. That experience taught me how important it is to adapt to each animal rather than expecting every dog to behave in the same way. I’m comfortable caring for reactive and high-energy dogs and understand that certain situations — such as meeting other dogs, runners, cyclists or being somewhere busy — can be challenging for them. I’m happy to follow the routines, boundaries and training methods you already use, and I’ll always work at your dog’s pace rather than putting them into situations they’re uncomfortable with. Alongside this, I’ve looked after dogs through BorrowMyDoggy and spent three years living with and helping care for a Cocker Spaniel and a Westie. Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll take the time to learn their routine, get to know their personality and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Whether they need long walks and lots of activity, a little extra patience, or simply someone to curl up with on the sofa, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how they’re getting on. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or want to tell me a little about your pet and their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 I currently work in hospitality, so my schedule varies and often gives me extra flexibility throughout the week. In my free time, I love being outdoors and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve been on both sides. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, following their usual routine, respecting your instructions and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well looked after.
“Thank you James for taking great care of Maisie over the weekend! I highly recommend James if you want somebody who actually cares about dogs and understands their needs he is the man to trust with your four legged family member. He sends pictures and updates too!”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
“I highly rate Alix for looking after your little pet. Alix made me feel so comfortable straight away and the communication was the best. The rates you pay are so decent compared to everyone else. Alix also helped me out last minute I had been let down and It was sorted in 5 mins with Alix. Thank you so much again!!! We will be back 🩷”
