“My dog Henry had a great time with Katie & Mia and settled in really well, Katie send lots of updates and photos of Henry,we had never used a sitter before so I was really nervous but there was no need to be as Katie was amazing with Henry, Mia and Henry became friends really quickly, Henry is already booked in for his next visit next month.”
“We cannot recommend Lisa enough. We have never left our much loved German shepherd Daisy before, so we decided to use Lisa for doggy daycare before boarding. By the second visit Daisy was pulling to Lisa’s door and was happy to stay when we left. Both during daycare and boarding Lisa sent us many photos and detailed updates about Daisy which was really comforting to us. We will be taking Daisy back to Lisa for all our daycare / boarding needs in the future. In fact we will plan our days out / vacations around her availability!”

“Alex is an excellent petsitter and we’ve been really pleased with how she has looked after our two cats whilst we’ve been on holiday. Following an initial visit to meet us and the cats, Alex kept in regular touch and we were grateful of the updates and photos she provided. Overall, I would not hesitate in recommending Alex.”
“First time working with Daisy and she was brilliant looking after my anxious cat - she clearly calmed her down, and took lots of photos for me whilst we were away. Will definitely be coming back to her! Thanks so much 🙏”
“Couldn't be happier! Katie cared for our two girls with differing food / meds needs and gave wonderful updates with lots of photos each time, we could see that both cats were relaxed and happy. Katie obviously spent a good amount of time with them each visit and even did laundry after a couple of accidents to keep them in clean bedding. Happy cats!”
“Annie did a great job looking after our Maine Coon. She was also kind enough to meet him before we went on our trip and Kermit instantly took a liking to her, which like almost any cat, is not common for him. Report cards were thorough and always had more than one picture attached.”
“Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

Your cats safety and happiness are my top priorities, just like they were for my grandma’s furry family members!

“Lisa is an amazing dog sitter! You can tell that she loves dogs and is very experienced in their care. Leia had such a lovely time with Lisa, playing with the toys, exploring the garden and having cuddles, she didn’t even want to leave when I arrived to pick her up, which is a good sign of just how happy she was with Lisa. On another note, Lisa was very patient and accommodating when my plans changed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa and will be getting Leia booked in for a return visit soon.”

“Anthony looked after my husky while I was away for the day. He was very flexible with timings when I was late which was very helpful! I received updates throughout the day so I knew she was happy :) thanks again!”
About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 24 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 3&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly.

Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life so have lots of love and experience with them. As soon as I was old enough I started walking dogs for my neighbours and since then have expanded out. I have lots of experience working with adolescent dogs (especially collies) and have handled many different sized breads including Irish wolf hounds. I’ve learnt how to handle them safely on and off lead in many different environments. I studied at Hartpury College for my A-Levels doing an animal management course. I’ve also worked at the RSPCA rescue centre for a couple of years. I love going for long walks and having the company of a four legged friend is an extra bonus! I always want to create a safe and happy environment where your dog can thrive. Flexible working hours. Mainly work week days but can work weekends if needed. I am happy to work around your schedule and help out whenever I can. I have a private field at the back of the house for your dogs to have lots of outside time, with an agility course set up if that's how your doggos like to spend there time! I’m fully insured, dbs checked and canine first aid trained.
About: We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me. I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM. Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.
“Naomi was incredible with our nervous little dachshund. She took the time to calm and get to know her and clearly has a good affinity with dogs. Naomi also had really clear good communication! She was brilliant, we’d book her again instantly.”

About: With years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members somewhere they’ll feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet boarding service is more than just a place to stay — it’s a home away from home. I provide personalised care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra playtime, medication, special diets, or just lots of cuddles. Having worked with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals, I’m confident in handling pets with different temperaments and routines. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family — because they are. 🐾 Because I work from home, pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I’m around throughout the day to give pets regular attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and snuggles — not just at set times. This allows me to keep a close eye on their well-being, follow their usual routines, and give them the comfort of companionship rather than long stretches alone. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s feeding times, walk schedule, or special needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or quiet evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels cared for and included in my daily routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I care for them right in their own home — surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they already love. I do my best to keep things as normal as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and snuggles, so they feel secure while you’re away. Since I work from home, I get to spend lots of time with your pets during the day, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to handle any special needs, like medication, special diets, or just extra cuddle breaks. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect, so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone!) is well cared for until you’re back. 🐾

“Joe is a great choice for your dog walk! He's been helping us out with Paco's walks, our 4 year old dog, and Paco loves Joe! Joe is friendly and professional. He ensured Paco gets good exercise and good company, understanding his own personality and needs. A plus is a very data-driven approach to the job which data nerds or people obsessed with their pets may certainly enjoy!”

“Liz took real time to get to know my dogs, came prepared with questions that were very thorough, and really engaged with me and my dogs.

About: My love for animals started at a young age, and I have spent my whole life caring for rescue dogs. Growing up with rescued pets taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for every animal. Looking after animals has always been a passion of mine, and turning that passion into a full-time career would be a dream come true. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Whether it's a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or extra care for puppies and senior pets, I am committed to ensuring your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. With Paws & Friends animal services, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. 🐾❤️ I work a rotating shift pattern, which allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week. 🐾 Week 1 (Morning Shift): I work from 5:30am to 2:00pm and am available from 2:30pm onwards for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and boarding. 🐾 Week 2 (Afternoon Shift): I work from 2:00pm to 11:00pm and am available in the mornings until 1:00pm. 📅 Please message me to discuss your pet's needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your preferred times." "Your pet's safety, happiness, and wellbeing are my top priorities. Having cared for rescue dogs and animals throughout my life, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I follow owners' routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication administration, and any special care instructions. I am committed to maintaining clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved at all times
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.
About: Had dogs since childhood, I’m now 35 and having been made redundant started my own dog walking/sitting business with a number of clients already. Love working with reactive dogs, all shapes and sizes. Available 7 days a week and able to work around a clients needs. Dog walking and sitting is my full time job and whatever the weather I’m happy to help. My own dog is very reactive but completely harmless, I treat all dogs with love and respect, while having a calming demeanour. Dogs are welcome both on and off the lead but I’m naturally more cautious with other peoples pets.
“Jess was a breath of fresh air, bursting with enthusiasm and common sense, reliable and clearly loves animals. I couldn’t recommend highly enough. We will definitely be using Jess again and again.. Thank you Jess!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities, I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide peace of mind. I specialise in puppy training, including basic obedience, crate comfort, and potty routines, as well as senior pet care, attending to special diets, medications, and mobility support. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. I don’t just watch pets—I engage with them, earning their trust and tailoring care to their individual needs. Whether it’s a high-energy dog needing long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I adapt my care style to suit them. I’m also trained in pet first aid, and I keep a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet like family—and that means attention to the little things that truly matter. I have experience with administering oral and topical medications, caring for senior pets with special routines, and helping anxious or shy animals feel safe and at ease. I genuinely enjoy the day-to-day responsibilities of pet care—yes, even the messy ones! From deep-cleaning litter trays to keeping food and water areas spotless, I take pride in creating a clean, comfortable space for your pet. Whether it's sticking to a precise feeding schedule, giving extra love to a recovering senior, or making sure your energetic pup gets a great walk and mental stimulation, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit 🐾 Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my daily life. I structure my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent, focused attention. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddles, I plan my schedule to give pets the time and care they deserve. I limit the number of clients I take on at once so I can give each pet personalized care without feeling rushed. Pet care isn’t a side job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and have made part of my everyday rhythm. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules exactly as instructed. I aim to be a calm, consistent presence—giving them the attention, affection, and structure they’re used to. I also make sure the home stays tidy and safe, cleaning up after pets, refreshing litter boxes or potty areas, and sending daily updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Whether it’s short visits or overnight stays, I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things familiar and comforting—following their usual routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I aim to be a calm, reliable presence, and I always treat your home with the utmost respect. It’s a great option for pets who prefer their own space or are sensitive to change. When pets stay in my home, they get a warm, safe, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention. I have a secure, fenced garden perfect for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. My space is clean, pet-friendly, and calm—ideal for dogs who enjoy company, fresh air, and a cozy home-away-from-home. I keep a structured routine and make sure every pet gets personal attention, cuddles, and mental stimulation. No matter the location, I prioritize safety, comfort, and treating your pet like part of the family.

“My dog Henry had a great time with Katie & Mia and settled in really well, Katie send lots of updates and photos of Henry,we had never used a sitter before so I was really nervous but there was no need to be as Katie was amazing with Henry, Mia and Henry became friends really quickly, Henry is already booked in for his next visit next month.”
“We cannot recommend Lisa enough. We have never left our much loved German shepherd Daisy before, so we decided to use Lisa for doggy daycare before boarding. By the second visit Daisy was pulling to Lisa’s door and was happy to stay when we left. Both during daycare and boarding Lisa sent us many photos and detailed updates about Daisy which was really comforting to us. We will be taking Daisy back to Lisa for all our daycare / boarding needs in the future. In fact we will plan our days out / vacations around her availability!”

“Thank you, once again, Lacey. Ebi had a wonderful few days with you. She was so happy to see you again so I could go away with complete peace of mind! Will be very happy for her to stay again! 😍”
“Susan and her family made our little Pip VERY happy! She clearly had a wonderful time with the family (including with Ozzy the dog), looked extremely settled, and returned home a very relaxed dog. Enormous thanks to you all.”
“James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.”
“With it being Ambers first time away from us she she joined our family, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful, warm, friendly and playful environment for her to stay. Beth, Dan and Darcy really did make it a home away from home for her. So much so she didn’t want to leave lol! Beth and Dan are so lovely and even met with us before booking to make sure it was a right match for us all. During our time away Beth kept us up to date with messages and pictures of Ambers stay 🥰 It was so reassuring in knowing our not so little pup was in great hands and paws while we were away 🥰”
