“Charlotte was amazing at looking after Lucy. We received plenty of photos and updates on how she was doing and how at home she made herself! Would not hesitate to book up with Charlotte again. Thank you!”
“Natalie was absolutely lovely and we had total confidence in her from the outset. She came to meet Ted a few days before he stayed with her and took the trouble to get to know him She was always quick to respond, and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. Ted clearly had a lovely time with her and even came home with some new toys! We highly recommend her.”
“Linda was an IDEAL sitter and I'm so grateful to her for the care she gave to my girl, Trixie!! Trixie is an older dog with some special needs (including meds, weak legs, and a very small bladder). I was worried about leaving her with a sitter under these circumstances, but Linda instantly put me (and Trixie) at ease! She was thoughtful about all of Trixie's needs, made special accommodations for her to be comfortable throughout her stay, and kept me regularly updated with photos. I highly recommend Linda and hope Trixie can stay with her again!”
“Kylo had a great time at Maria’s. She really know how to take care of our dog and this is very reassuring and she send regular pictures and updates. I really recommend her and Kylo will definitely go back. Thank you so much for looking after Kylo so well.”
“Liz looked after our young dog Bonnie whilst we were away for a weekend. She did an amazing job of entertaining Bonnie and getting her on some cooler morning walks, as it was super hot! She gave us regular updates on how Bonnie was doing and sent some lovely photos too. Would definitely recommend Liz!”
“Deborah was amazing with Jessie. She really put my mind at ease whilst I was out of the country knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Simba had a great time with Hannah! I really appreciate how well Hannah took care of him—Simba came home happy and completely relaxed. I’ve already booked Simba's future boarding with Hannah, and I fully recommend.”
“Josh is very experienced with looking after dogs, great at keeping you in the loop and updating you. He had my Border Collie for a week and handled her brilliantly even with her sometimes moody attitude.”
“Farley had an excellent time with Jackie and family and seemed to settle in really quicky. Jackie took lots of effort to find out all about Farley's needs and we felt that she was really well looked after- she came back a happy pup!”
“Kate and her family were absolutely wonderful with Poppy! Since Kate works from home, Poppy had constant company, and she loved being spoiled by Kate's partner and teenage kids. Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
“Mac loved his stay here, with Kylie, her lovely family, and their dog Remus. He ran in when we arrived, and Kylie updated me throughout with photos of the two dogs loving playing together! Perfect!”
“This was our first time leaving our two (very energetic!) spaniels with Aleksandra and we could not be happier! Meg and Moss were clearly well looked after, walked well and very happy when we picked them up. Aleksandra kept me updated lots throughout the day which I really appreciated and was super flexible with picking up and dropping off. We will definitely be back!”
“Nina was fantastic, very attentive and adapted to our dogs individual needs. Leaving two young dogs with anyone is always nervy, but Nina did a great job, putting me at ease with photo and video updates and even gave some great advice for us going forward. Will certainly use again!”
“Bowie was so well looked after! Tanya kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. He was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time when we picked him up. Thanks so much for taking such amazing care of our beagle. We’ll definitely be booking again! Nat, Pat & Bowie xx”
“I was apprehensive about leaving my nervous chihuahua/cross with anyone for 24 hours but Synolda was perfect for him. She is so relaxed and has a natural empathy with dogs which my dog responded to immediately (this is very unusual!). It also helped that there were two other small dogs there to help him settle in and to play with in the Bark Park :) Synolda sent me regular updates and made the experience so much less stressful for us so we were able to enjoy our family event. I highly recommend Synolda and would take my dog to her again without hesitation.”

“We left our very energetic 1 year old choc lab with Eamon for visits during a day, we could not have been more reassured during the day with great communication and photos ! When we got back Sid is so chilled and happy , the house is immaculate and a lovely note from Eamon , superb care, so will be booking again ! Thanks so much Eamon !”

We really appreciate the regular updates and photos they send and keeps us relaxed knowing the cat is safe and happy! We 100% recommend McKenzie!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and have looked after friends and neighbours pets when they’ve been away. I have a Burmese cat called Mimi who is an elderly lady of 18 now. I totally understand that for you to be happy when you’re at work or away you need to know kitty is happy at home. I will feed them, play with them and cuddle them if they like that. Happy to do two visits per day and stay for a while to keep them company. I am experienced at giving medication if necessary and realise that the method of doing that depends on your individual pet. I’m also a yoga teacher and work for the NHS so nurturing is part of my every day life!
“Desiree stepped in to look after our cats at very short notice. She was so easy to communicate with and super reliable, would 100% recommend. It’s just our cats are so unsociable! Thank you Desiree.”
About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey I’ve always had such a soft spot for cats. When I was younger I had two of my own – they were so gentle and loving, and I still miss them dearly to this day. That time with them taught me just how much love and patience cats deserve, and how important it is to respect their little personalities too. I’m happy to pop in for home visits: feeding them, keeping their space clean, giving them fuss and strokes if they want it, or just sitting quietly keeping them company if they prefer their own space. I’ll stick exactly to their usual routine, whether that’s favourite snacks, playtime or sleepy spots, so they stay calm and happy while you’re away. I know how much you care about them, so I’ll send you photos and little updates whenever I’m there, so you know they’re doing just fine.
About: Over 20 years dog and cat experience, I'm reliable, loving and fit. Nurturing and playful with lots of time and attention to give to your dog. I'm a writer so have plenty of time to walk and care for pets. I find they curl up under my desk or on my lap while I work. In the summer they garden with me. I have a big home close to the coastal path with secure gates and CCTV. I provide a safe, loving, home from home stay. Dogs that I walk tend to want to stay with me! I only look after dogs exclusively from one family so the environment is peaceful and calm.
About: I’m a highly experienced cat sitter with a background as an exotic animal and behaviour specialist, trained in reward-based (R+) methods. I’m very comfortable reading feline body language and adapting care to each cat’s individual needs. I currently have cats of my own and understand how important routine, trust, and low-stress handling are. Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, high-energy, or needs behavioural awareness, I provide calm, attentive, and knowledgeable care tailored to them.
About: I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for several years now, and have loved meeting and looking after so many peoples precious animals! I’ve cared for dogs and cats young and old, am happy dealing with their little quirks and pet peeves, and any additional needs they have too :) I currently work from home and am happy to be available in the early morning, lunch time, or after work or dinner, and will spend the day with your animal - they can and often do join me for meetings via Zoom! I pet sit from (your) home and am more than happy to provide endless attention throughout the day, and walks whenever they’re needed! Photos can be provided whenever requested too, so everyone feels connected.
“My first ever cat sitting experience and George was excellent. Met him before the booking and knew I could trust him to watch Yukino. He gave updates and sent me picture when he was there. She was happy when I returned and all glowing.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Julie’s dog-sitting services! She took care of our two dogs for six consecutive days, dropping in to feed them, let them out for bathroom breaks, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Every day, she sent us wonderful updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. Reliable, professional, and kind—Julie is fantastic, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾😊”
About: Hello, thank you for viewing my profile. I have recently joined Cat in a flat to offer care to your lovely furry family member. I have always grown up with cats and still have one at my parents home. I live in Portishead with my 2 dogs. I currently do not work due to redundancy so have got plenty of time to look after your gorgeous pet or pets! Happy to discuss any further requirements which you may need!
“Jessica did a fantastic job of looking after my two cats this weekend. She arranged a proper handover before we left and kept us updated throughout our trip - it was so nice to receive pictures and videos of our cats looking happy. This was my first time using a cat sitter and I really feel Jessica went above and beyond; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and we have already booked again for our next trip.”
About: I have a wealth of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have always had dogs and cats in the family, and I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with yours! I currently work full time, three days from home (a two-storey flat with a generously sized walled garden). I am very into my runs and general fitness, so would be a good fit for any high energy animals. I am very attentive and considerate of the needs of any pet that comes into my home; from the moment they come into my care I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable, stress free and we’ll exercised!

“I highly recommend Maria as a caretaker for your furry friend. She shows genuine care and love towards my French bulldog Spud and always goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy and comfortable. Spud always comes home exhausted from a day of play and with a big smile on his face. Maria is truly a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter and I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.”

“We do not normally leave our dog with anyone, so the thought of arranging for a stranger to have him for the day, was quite daunting initially. But we shouldn’t have worried, we arranged to meet Beatriz before the day and the actual day went without any stress. I would recommend Beatriz and would have no problem of using Rover again.”
About: 📍 Currently actively booking for mid August to mid September 2026 with very flexible availability 📍 Hey there, my name is Rebecca! I'm a 27 year old vet student and pet sitter. I have lots of great experience with a variety of species through my vet training and life in general! I have been involved in both the cattery and dog shelter of the Galway SPCA. I also worked closely with small mammals, and rescued my colleagues from a loose ferret once! I discovered a love of sighthounds in particular and always really enjoy working with them. I have been casually pet sitting for the past five years, until last year when I began using another app that was popular in my area. I had several regular dog visit/ walk clients - new puppies to the more mature. I am happy to do on and off-lead walking, where appropriate and safe. I will follow instructions on whatever training you are working on with your pet. I am confident administering medication. Unfortunately, I cannot accept very strong or difficult to handle dogs due to chronic back pain. I would be keen to build a trusting relationship with any pet I care for and strive for respectful and honest communication with pet owners. I give pets my full attention and aim to leave them tuckered out but happy! I send a detailed update after my visit including some photos. I'm always careful to include any concerns. ✅ Please Note: House Sitting: I am not currently staying overnight in client’s houses. This option is suitable if you would like to have me sit with your pet during the day/evening, while at work or socialising. Please get in touch to discuss! 😊 Boarding/Day Care: I live in an apartment which has a small balcony and unfenced patio space - suitable for quick potty breaks. There are lots of easily accessible nice walks in the area for longer exercise. Walks: Available to pick up/drop off and supervise visits to local secure dog paddocks. My Uni schedule varies each week but I will aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. I am keen to build a base of regular/semi-regular clients, having recently moved back to North Somerset. There are times when I am required on-campus 9am-5pm but I do my best to be flexible. Do get in touch if there's anything you'd like to discuss - I'm more than happy to answer any queries 😁 I am always careful entering and exiting the house to prevent any escapes. I diligently use any equipment or restraint advised by owners to keep everyone safe. I always do my best to read an animals behaviour so as not to cross their boundaries and ensure everyone is as safe and happy as possible during the visit. I welcome owner advice about individual pets as they usually know their animal best!
“Tara and her partner were the perfect sitters for my puppy. They kept me regularly updated and ensured that honey was happy all day. I really can’t recommend them enough and will only be using them as our sitters moving forward! Thank you so much! ☺️”
“Saffi had a great time with Hannah and was well cared for. Fab comms and a really responsible sitter who prioritises dogs' welfare. We'll definitely be visiting again :)”
“Thanks again so much Kylie and family. It’s so reassuring to know Dolly is having a great day with Remus and is being well cared for and in safe hands. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kylie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and knowledgeable dog sitter. Thank you Kylie and see you again in a couple of weeks.”
“My little dog loved her day with Linda! We were delighted that she was happy to take her for the day at very short notice. Linda was patient and loving with my dog and instantly put her at ease. I got updates and photos and felt totally lucky to have found her so I could work without any worry. I’ll definitely ask Linda to have my dog again.”
“Charlotte has been repeatedly sitting for both of my dogs. She is particularly fantastic with Major while caring for him in our home - she has a natural warmth and genuine love for dogs. Major was relaxed, happy, and thoroughly spoilt with attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was safe, loved, and in such capable hands – I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Anna was fantastic with our dog Benji, she kept us updated with how he was throughout the day and also any walks they went on. Benji was extremely happy when we went to collect him and left tired which is signs of a good day! Will definitely recommend Anna and will be re booking.”
“Nat has been looking after Henry for day care and occasional boarding for over 1 year and half now. She is always so amazing with Henry and great with communicating with us. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Maple. Communication was prompt and easy and everything went very well, Maple came home a very happy pup! Would definitely recommend and contact again.”

About: I had a dog (Kelly) when I was a child and now own a big grey cat called Luna. I occasionally pet sitted dogs and cats at friend’s houses. I am working a 8-4 job. I am working in the office Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am working from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. I could work from your home if you want me to stay the whole day (on Wednesdays and Fridays) or come right before and/or after work and even spend the night there if you want. I can feed your pets, take them out for walks, cuddle them (obviously) and wash them or anything else you want me to do :) I can spend the night over too.
“Sol is lovely, flexible, and very helpful. Jack has a great time on his walks - we can clearly see hoe much fun he is having from the videos and pictures during the walks. He greeted Sol like an old friend on the 2nd time of meeting her, and is more than happy to leave us! :)”
About: Since a young age both Fra and myself have cared for animals. We both had cats and dogs in our homes since birth and have looked after them with utmost care and attention. In our adult years we have taken house sitting seriously and have cared for several homes and a variety of pets. From dogs and cats, to lizards, frogs and guineapigs, we've cared for them all. Pet care takes priority when it comes to our weekly routines. We have various jobs and hobbies, yet we are very flexible and can usually cater to the needs of the animals are the requests of the pet owner. We always take the pets care requirements into consideration. Most pets will require different attention and we make sure to provide what is required. Whether it's walking, feeding, washing or general health care, we have the experience and understanding to provide great pet care.
About: Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m an experienced and passionate dog carer with a strong background in animal welfare. I’ve volunteered as a dog boarder for Guide Dogs UK, cared for rescue dogs as a walker with a local dog charity, and walked pups through BorrowMyDoggy. I also have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals at an animal rescue charity. As I have grown up with a dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or company, your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me! -NO LONGER ACCEPTING BOARDING IN MY OWN HOUSE FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT- -BOOKING IS ONLY CONFIRMED ONCE CONFIRMED IN THE APP- I am a part-time remote online student so I am fully available throughout the week and able to give my full attention to your pet. I have a non-smoking, no children, and no pet household so it is safe for reactive dogs. There are also plenty of walks around my house to take your pet on if you wish.
About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around pets, have owned both dogs and cats over the years, and now I have my own border collie. My partner and I are both massive animal lovers, and we’ll look after yours exactly how we’d want our own looked after. I offer dog walks – plenty of time for sniffing, playing or taking it steady, whatever they like best. I also do home visits for feeding, fuss and play, plus overnight sits. I’m happy with all ages, breeds and personalities, and just as comfortable caring for cats as I am dogs. I know how worrying it is leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates to keep you in the loop. I’ll always stick to their usual routine so they stay happy and settled. Looking after and playing with my puppy Guinness is a part of my and my partner's daily routine. On Weekends & Bank Holidays we often go out for especially long walks and would love to bring another dog along with us for a friend for our dog! We have vast experience of dog walking. I understand that every animal is unique and has different needs and will care for them in a way that is best for each and everyone of them. Caring pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner’s absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain in their home environments.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I enjoy caring for senior animals or animals with special needs that may need some extra care, but also have raised both puppies and kittens in my lifetime! I am a calm, gentle person and I know how to act around animals of any personality types & needs, for example if you have a skittish/nervy cat you can rest assured that I will approach your pet and your house with care and precision as to not startle them. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine as I have a very flexible schedule. I am available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and I’m more than happy to spend quality time with your cat rather than just popping in for a quick visit. I understand how important routine and companionship are, so I’ll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away :) I care for every cat as if they were my own. At home, and when cat sitting, I make sure the cats are always well fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays, and plenty of love and attention. I am more than happy to look after any cats of any ages and have experience with cats of all ages including kittens and senior cats. I love spending time playing with them, keeping them entertained, and giving them lots of cuddles whenever they’re in the mood for affection! When caring for a cat in an owner’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I will happily spend time keeping them company and giving them cuddles if they enjoy them. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, happy and cared for while their owner is away. Whether you have one kitty or 20, I will be more than happy to look after them.
About: I have a wealth of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have always had dogs and cats in the family, and I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with yours! I currently work full time, three days from home (a two-storey flat with a generously sized walled garden). I am very into my runs and general fitness, so would be a good fit for any high energy animals. I am very attentive and considerate of the needs of any pet that comes into my home; from the moment they come into my care I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable, stress free and we’ll exercised!

About: Animals have been a constant in my life since childhood. Growing up, I shared our family home with German Shepherds and various crossbreeds, so I'm very comfortable around larger, more energetic dogs as well as smaller companions. My wife and I recently spent time travelling across Canada and the USA, where we house-sat and cared for pets as a way of truly living in the places we visited. That experience gave us a real breadth of hands-on care: rescue dogs being rehomed from Mexico to Vancouver, high-energy Huskies, elderly dogs requiring regular medication, and cats of all temperaments... including very shy ones who needed patience and a gentle approach to come out of their shell. Until recently we also had our own cat Ollie, a Ragdoll we adored, so we know what it means to be on the other side of this relationship and how much trust you're placing in someone when you hand over the care of a beloved pet. I'm currently in a flexible period of work, which means I can genuinely accommodate most schedules and be present in the way pets need. We live in Westbury Park, just a short walk from Durdham Down. I think...one of Bristol's best open spaces! giving me plenty of room to walk dogs freely, as often as they need. No children at home, no other pets. I'm currently in a flexible period between roles, which means pet care genuinely sits at the centre of my day rather than being fitted around a 9-to-5. I don't have a rigid routine that animals need to work around — I can structure my days around their needs, whether that's regular medication times, multiple walks, or simply making sure a nervous pet isn't left alone longer than they're comfortable with. My wife and I are often both home, which means there's usually someone around. I have hands-on experience with pets that need a little more attention, including dogs on regular medication, rescue animals that may be anxious or have unknown histories, and shy cats that need space before they warm to someone new. Whatever the situation, I'll always keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I'll flag anything that seems off straight away. I'd rather over-communicate than leave someone worrying about their pet.
About: My background as a professional animal trainer with 10 years of hands-on experience, including working with a wide range of species means I have a deep understanding of animal behaviour and behaviour modification. This helps me read body language, prevent issues before they arise, and support pets who may be anxious, reactive, or who struggle adjusting to new environments. I place a strong emphasis on high welfare standards and kind, ethical handling. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable supporting young animals as they learn good habits, and providing thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra consideration and everything in between. Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind.
About: Friendly, reliable and experienced & based just outside of Bristol. I’m experienced and confident with a range of dogs and have walked and cared for a number of different breeds and ages. Having my own dog and struggling to find someone I’d comfortably trust her with, I empathise with owners when searching for a solution when you’re tied up with work or other commitments! I understand and can be flexible with your dog’s routine, whilst also striving to give them an exciting and stimulating walk. I’m currently working flexible hours and have a lot of free time to dedicate to walks/drop-ins and pet-sitting. Having recently started my own dog walking / dog sitting business, I have the experience and time to commit to caring for your much-loved pets. I often have more spare time in the week, but can usually accommodate weekends too if given enough time notice! I have a flat with a fenced-off decking area with access to lots of fields just over the road! I have a car so I’m able to travel to your home to care for your dog too. I’m happy to fit in with your dog’s routine and your expectations where I can.
“Martin has been fantastic! Always on time, has taken him out for the correct length of time and rain or shine! He’s great with communication, I can’t fault anything. Morris has loved all his walks with Martin and came back all tuckered out. Feel lucky to found such a great walker! Thank you!”
About: Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, I have had cats since I was 10 years old and always wanted dogs too. My boyfriend's side of the family have dogs and we love taking them out for day trips. I am currently working part-time in Marketing and work from home so your pets won’t feel lonely. I am very flexible and can adapt to your schedule. I am happy to look after your pet during the week and weekends. I currently live in a pet friendly flat in Clifton with my partner (35), right next to Victoria park and very close to Ashton Court (every pet’s paradise!) I do not own any pets and I would be able to look after a small dog or cat in my flat. I am also happy to look after any size pets at at your house or to take your dog for walks in the lovely parks around the area. I can look after a mixture of breeds and I am comfortable looking after puppies as well as dogs.
About: Dogs have always been like my best friends, and I’ve loved caring for them from a young age. I’ve been looking after all kinds of dogs since I was 12, and now, at 22, caring for dogs is something I genuinely love doing. There’s honestly nothing I adore more than dogs. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for. Whether they’re energetic and love a long walk, or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be difficult, which is why I take the responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience and attention I would give my own, while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and having a great time. My goal is simple: for every dog I look after to feel safe, loved and excited to see me again! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet care, and I can work around the individual needs and routines of each dog. I’m reliable with timings and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise and care. I’m also happy to provide regular weekday walks for owners who need ongoing support. The safety and happiness of every pet I care for is my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality and individual needs before looking after them. I keep dogs supervised, secure and comfortable, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and routines. During walks, I use appropriate leads and equipment and stay aware of traffic, other dogs and the surrounding environment. In my home or the owner’s home, I aim to create a calm, clean and welcoming environment where dogs can feel relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and I want owners to feel completely confident that their pet is in safe hands.

“This was our first time leaving our two (very energetic!) spaniels with Aleksandra and we could not be happier! Meg and Moss were clearly well looked after, walked well and very happy when we picked them up. Aleksandra kept me updated lots throughout the day which I really appreciated and was super flexible with picking up and dropping off. We will definitely be back!”
“Nina was fantastic, very attentive and adapted to our dogs individual needs. Leaving two young dogs with anyone is always nervy, but Nina did a great job, putting me at ease with photo and video updates and even gave some great advice for us going forward. Will certainly use again!”
“Bowie was so well looked after! Tanya kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. He was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time when we picked him up. Thanks so much for taking such amazing care of our beagle. We’ll definitely be booking again! Nat, Pat & Bowie xx”

“Leanne is a very personably young woman. She was cooperative in every way, i.e. with timings and communicating. Lollie was very content when she returned to me and Leanne said she'd been a good dog.”
“Elspeth looked after Loki for us and did an amazing job. It was his first time away from us and she made sure he was happy, comfortable and had lots of love! She kindly sent us updates and great photos which were much appreciated and meant that we could relax knowing he was in good hands. A huge thank you to Elspeth for taking such good care of him!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was very little. I've had rabbits, hamsters, chinchillas, dogs and cats. I have also walked my neibghors dogs since I was 12 and even joined them in the local park just so I can be around other dogs. I currently live with 2 lovely rescue dogs. The one on my profile picture is mine - his name is Eric. I currently work from home so I have a lot of flexibility and free time. I am available for walks or visits every day through the week including weekends. I live in a 2 bed house with a fenced garden with 2 friendly rescue dogs who would also love some company! They love running and playing with other dogs and exploring new places.
“Beatriz is a darling and I couldn’t have been happier leaving our pooch in her hands. She communicates well whilst you’re away, and it was a comfort to know our beloved and rather old dog was in safe hands. I’m so grateful to her - he’s had a lovely holiday too and has returned home happy and relaxed. Thank you Beatriz xxx”
“Anna has been wonderful again with our pup especially in this heat! Im happy he was comfortable enough at hers to settle in quickly at night, it is something he can struggle with at times to nap/sleep in new locations, but clearly Anna provided a wonderful environment for him to feel at ease ❤️”
“Cooper had a lovely long weekend with Katie. It was clear that he’d been very well looked after and he’d had lots of fun too! Katie kept in touch and sent me photos and videos which I really appreciated. We will absolutely be asking Katie to look after Cooper again 🙂 thanks so much!”
“Chloe was amazing with Bill! I love the photo updates and he looked so happy and really made himself at home! Chloe was lovely and asked lots of great questions so I knew Bill was in very safe hands! Thank you :)”
