About: I genuinely love spending time with cats and understand that every one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious, shy and independent, or simply loves a quiet cuddle, I’ll always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, my family had a much-loved cat called Fluffy, who was part of our family for many years. Since then, I’ve looked after cats for friends and clients, including house sitting for Luna and caring for my friend’s cat, Arlo. These experiences have taught me how important it is to stick to each cat’s routine and respect their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime (if they enjoy it) and lots of affection on their terms. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is happy, safe, and in caring hands.
About: Is what all my friends call me, they’re convinced I will be alone with 50+ cats in the future. I can’t blame them, I prefer animals to humans. (Sorry not sorry). I have had Siamese cats, moggys and I now have a 13 y/o Burmese cat called Boom. I am obsessed with Sphinx cats, so bonus points for them, I will sit for free!
About: I'm a passionate animal lover with a special affinity for cats. Having rescued three cats from difficult situations, I understand the importance of patience, love, and care in helping them thrive. I'm experienced in providing a clean and comfortable environment, encouraging exercise and playtime, and offering plenty of cuddles.
“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”
“Maria is a lovely lady and took really good care of my cat Touchy whilst we were away. She sent loads of videos and photos every day which was very reassuring. I would highly recommend Maria and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future. Thank you so much for looking after my little girl ????xx”
“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”

“Thank you so much to Aljona for looking after Ram today so that we could visit Monkey World. He ran straight in and settled immediately and was very happy when I picked him up.

About: Since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. Growing up with dogs, cats and other pets taught me to understand their needs and emotions. I know how to make them feel safe, cared for and happy I currently work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of time for walks and playtime with your furry friend. My children absolutely love dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them, helping with play and gentle care, which creates a warm and friendly environment for any pet. I have two spacious gardens where pets can safely run, play or relax, as well there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away — perfect for longer adventures.
About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.
About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.
About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.
“Sophie was brilliant with my Cockapoo Bertie:) Bertie walked away tail high and wagging , as she put him at ease straightaway. Bertie was immediately happy and relaxed with Sophies positive energy! When we picked him up, he had eaten, been to the beach for a lovely walk and was very relaxed and happy. I couldn't be more pleased with Sophie's service and would definitely use her again if in her area. 100% plus recommend”

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.

Really great communication as well. I can’t recommend enough!”

About: Dogs have been my whole life. I grew up in a house with 4, spent most of my life volunteering at various dog rescues, and ran my own dog boarding from 2016-2020. These days I've got 2 of my own - both super friendly and great with visitors - so any dog staying with me lands straight into a relaxed, sociable pack. With 8+ years of boarding experience and a lifetime around dogs, I know how to read body language, prevent issues before they start, and keep every dog calm, comfortable, and safe. Overnight stays are what I do best. Here's what makes my setup a bit different: I work from a dog-friendly office with a dedicated 'dog only' pen area, which means your pup comes along with me and is never stuck home alone for hours. Their day is full - plenty of walks, lots of play and engagement activities, safe spaces to run around, and comfy couches and beds to flop on when it's time to wind down. They get exercise, company, and proper rest - all in a safe environment at home and in the office. You'll never be left wondering how they're doing either. I send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay. I'm also always happy to set up a FaceTime so you can check in and say hello while you're away. Whether your dog is a bundle of energy or more of a couch cuddle-bug, I'll make sure they're happy, looked after, and treated like one of my own while you're away. Drop me a message - I'd love to hear about them! Dog care is woven into my whole day. I'm in a dog-friendly office, so your pup comes with me to a dedicated 'dog only' pen area rather than being left home alone. We head out for an extended bathroom potty-break walk at lunchtime, then home in the evening to a fenced garden for plenty of exploring. We do minimum 1 proper walk a day, with 3 parks all within walking distance from our house to choose from. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are full of play, engagement, and downtime on the couch. Overnight boarding - your dog's home away from home: Overnight stays are what I do best. My husband and I travel a fair bit ourselves, so we know exactly how it feels to leave your dog behind - and how much it matters to have someone you and your dog(s) genuinely trust. When your pup stays with us, they're treated like one of our own: full days of walks, play, and company, comfy couches and beds to relax on, and a secure home with a fully fenced garden. You'll never be left wondering how they're doing either. I send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay and I'm always happy to set up a FaceTime so you can check in and say hello while you're away. I also offer doggy daycare, but overnight boarding is my heart and focus. Your dog will be in a secure, dog savvy home with a fully fenced garden (1.2-2m all the way around) for safe exploring - though they're never out unsupervised. It's a calm household, just me and my husband, no cats or kids, with two friendly resident dogs for easy, sociable company (both of our dogs have a relaxed temperament and very friendly to fit with any personality - Brody is 6 and Kira is 2). During a stay with us, your dog will never be shut away alone. With 8+ years of boarding experience and a lifetime around dogs, I know how to read body language, prevent issues before they start, and keep every dog calm, comfortable, and safe.
“We left our old dog, Cassie, with Scott and his family for nearly three weeks. Cassie bonded well with them and we received updates at regular intervals. We felt very reassured as we were apprehensive about leaving her, as she had not been away before. We would thoroughly recommend Scott and his family as perfect dog sitters.”
“Sam looked after our bulldog Bruno for two nights and he was great with keeping in contact, as well sending photos of him settled. Will be booking again in the future when we need a sitter! Thank you ☺️”
“Perfect sitter for our little candela! Extremely professional and keeps your mind at rest with frequent updates upon request. Will be back again at some point soon. Thank you”
“Couldn’t have asked for more from Abbey. Our dog was welcomed into their home and looked after brilliantly. I picked up a content and well excised dog who I honestly believe would have been happy to stay if I’d just left again. We will be asking Abbey to look after Watson again. Thank You.”
“Ben was great- such a lovely person. My dog loved him and his Dad. I had no problems with Milo’s stay and the drop off and pick up went smoothly. I will book Ben again without a doubt!”
“My wife and I were very pleased with the way that Tracy and Neil looked after Harvey. They clearly have lots of experience with dogs and we can't recommend them highly enough. Our dog, Harvey, a Bavarian Mountain Hound, needs plenty of exercise and attention, which he received. Tracy was also in daily contact letting us know how he was doing. Everything you might expect from top class dog sitters. We won't hesitate to use them again.”
