“Michelle is very good with our dog and he is very calm when we come home. She is very knowlegable and observant, if she notices anything about him she lets us know. Bruno enjoys the games she plays with him in the garden.”

About: I love all animals really but especially cats, as I grew up around them - we had 2 Burmese cats, one of which lived to be 17yo. Our current cat, Bolly, emigrated with us from the U.K. to Australia and back again! I have also had a hamster and fish. As a teenager, and as an adult, I've often helped friends and neighbours out when they're away by looking after their pets - cats usually but I have also looked after dogs, Guinea pigs, chickens, birds, fish and rabbits too. 

I'm calm and patient - I very much let them come to me when they're ready to. I make sure your pet has been given attention and affection (if they want some), as well as fed, watered, and had litter cleaned etc. I'm happy to play and pet them, or just sit and be around for a while, depending on what they like. I send updates and pictures daily so you can relax and enjoy your time away. 
I'm a fan of Jackson Galaxy and his work on cat behaviour, which has helped me to gain a better understand of cats, and I use a lot of his techniques with Bolly, as well as the cats I look after. This has meant I've been able to befriend many nervous, shy cats using those skills. 

I've also got some experience with raw food as I've transitioned Bolly to a raw food diet so I'm happy to handle raw meat if needed. 
 Whilst in Australia, pet sitting was my paid work and I’m keen to do that again here as I loved meeting so many different pets, and being able to have a little time away from home. I’m a stay at home parent to a 5yo and that means I’m flexible with my hours and availability. Often I am available before my husband goes to work, and then again from 5pm when he’s finished. On days he’s working from home, I can also do visits during the day. If your pet is ok with kids, my son loves to help too and that means I can come anytime. Weekends are easy as my husband isn’t n working. For house visits, I usually greet your pet first by letting them come to me, or checking any known hiding spots. Once I’ve said hello, I usually play with them, then feed them, and then I clean any litter trays whilst they eat. After that, I often sit on the floor or chair and hang out or play depending on their needs. I’m also happy to check post, water plants and put bins out. For pet walks, I greet them first, then get them ready with their leash and collect doggy bags for any dog poo. After the walk, I’ll check on your pet, give any treats/food/water as required before I leave.

About: Recent graduate currently doing remote work so pretty flexible. I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I have always loved playing with and hanging out with dogs. I was very excited during the summers when I knew we gonna look after the dogs of family and friends. Sometimes even upto 5-6 at a time. Basically, I am a massive fan of dogs and have always adored them and looked for ways to form a connection with them. I believe it is important to build a bond and trust between people and dogs to have a truly amazing and honest experience with them. I have 2 yorkshire terriers Harcos, and Will. Both trained by me. We had lots of different types of dogs in the extended family. Both big and small breeds. I have fed them, walked them played with them and even trained them. I have also actively managed their health with vet appointments making sure they take their medicine and that they had all their vaccines up to date. I also did amateur mantrailing with Will for a few years. I miss him so much(he is home with my family thankfully still with us) I am available for morning, lunchtime and evening walks around 1 hour each. Monday-Sunday. I work flexibly so I can walk almost any time as long as it is planned beforehand I always believe in creating a safe environment for all pets to make sure they feel this is their space too. I often spend time together with them whether its on the couch cuddling and watching a movie or just lying on the ground and enjoying some soft petting and belly rubs. However I also respect the different owner's preferences so can adjust based on the specific rules if required

“Joey was brilliant with Gunner. He's been very nervous recently and has occasionally been refusing walks, but she helped me get him out of the end of our road, which is further than he has walked out of our house in a few weeks. We will be booking her again for sure.”

About: It all started in the south west of France where (at about 6 years of age for me and 2 for my first sister) we homed a puppy (weimaraner) we were to look after for someone else for just over a month. About two years on I joined my local horse riding club. I quickly got comfortable with those big mammals, and there were always the few dogs owned by the manager and some of the affiliated families roaming around free. Many years on whilst we were studying with Solent on a placement year in Spain (06-07), my friend, classmate and housemate got a puppy I participated in raising and training. Luna reminded me how I had always loved and appreciated animals in life, and revived in me the will to have a dog of my own. Looking after and interacting every day with her for the best part of a year made me realise about my interests in training and behavioral psychology also. Three years on I got an opportunity to have my own at a time when I knew I would have time to attend to a pupy's needs. That was in 2010 and it is the best thing in my life so far, after having been brought up in a nice area with my siblings. I am rather family orientated , so my pet was early in time introduced to kids and has always been socialised with dogs of all ages and breeds.

About: I'm an American who just moved over from the states. I have house and pet sat for 8 years on and off, both for family, friends, and a local dog sitting service. I am super friendly and flexible when it comes to the needs of your pets. I currently am only working part time, so I can give all the love and time in the world to your pets. I am open to working early hours as well. I first take the owners wants and needs for their pets first and apply them. For example if they have a fenced in yard and only want their pets to be let out there, then I follow that. I ask what the dog is comfortable with so that I never put them in a situation of stress and uncertainty.

About: I live with two dogs, they are twin brothers and have completely different personalities. Feeding, walking and washing our dogs has been in my routine since I was 12 and I have enjoyed every minute! I love ensuring our dogs are loved by giving them lots of attention and fuss and making sure they are happy. I am currently unemployed and so my weeks are fairly flexible, I am looking to walk or do drop in visits as I enjoy taking care of pets and it is something I am passionate about as I love working with animals. I would love to do this whilst earning a bit of money to help save money for my gap year where I plan to volunteer I am great at communicating and would ensure a full understanding of the do’s and dont’s for every owner with their specific pets or homes. I am respectful of every decision made. I have taken my dog on many walks around many areas so know the local area allowing me to plan routes and safe journeys where the dog can happily go off the lead in safe areas. I love making the walk as enjoyable as possible for every dog however safety is always my priority. I am always happy for questions and to sit down to talk to communicate about what I will be doing.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets - including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots and even a turtle! Having previously owned and bonded closely with animals of all kinds, I understand the unique personalities and needs of each pet. I’m active, attentive, and committed to providing personalised care based on your animal’s temperament, energy level, and preferences. Whether your pet loves playtime, calm companionship, or structured routines, I adapt to make them feel safe and loved. I’d be honored to care for your beloved pet and promise to treat them like family with kindness, patience, and lots of love! I work from home and am self-employed, which allows me to offer fully flexible, all-day care for your pet. I’m happy to welcome them into my home, where they’ll receive constant attention, companionship, and plenty of love. If you have a dog, I’ll take them for regular walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening to keep them happy and active. Whether you’re working, away, or just need extra support, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, engaged, and well cared for from start to finish. Every pet is treated like family- with love, patience, and genuine care. I prioritise their comfort and safety, ensuring a secure and pet-friendly environment. Please note, while I absolutely love caring for dogs, I prefer not to have them sleep in the bed-unless they’re very small (under 7kg). As I live in a flat, I also need to be mindful of neighbours; occasional barking is totally fine, but I’m unable to accept very vocal dogs.

About: I have always had dogs growing up, my parents had a fleet of Pomeranians and in more recent years I have lived with Staffys and an XL bully so I am used to taking care of the larger dogs as well :) all are welcome 🤘🏼 I am 28 years old and very active. If your dog requires long walks that is completely fine with me. I do also go on bike rides so if your dog is athletic he/she can run beside me, but this is totally up to you. I do live in a top floor flat however, this space is very open and instead of a garden we have the whole park just seconds from our door! Bathroom breaks are quick and easy!
