About: Hi there, i am a fully qualified dog trainer DTC-CDT. DBS checked. Fully insured, which also covers me to walk, train the XL Bully type. I have been around dogs most of my life, love dogs, love all animals. I grew up with German Shepherds and have owned and bred Rottweilers for many years. I now own a Pug cross who is about 14 yrs, a cockapoo that will be 3 very soon, and an XL Bully who is 2yrs old. When walking dogs, i like to play games with them, not just ball or tug, things like scent games, having a good sniff helps to tire them out. Also if i walk them more than once a week i like to take them to different places never the same place twice in a week. I generally do pop ins after morning dog walks, lunch times and mid afternoon, depends what my clients prefer and the needs of the dog. I respect the owner's home. I allow the dogs into the garden, toilet time, play time, pick up any mess and dispose of it appropriately.

Unfortunately there was a problem with our keys (entirely our fault) and Scott wasn't able to look after our cats. He contacted me immediately and went back later to try again, so I'm grateful that he was so conscientious and responsible, and would have no hesitation in booking him again.

About: Hi, I’m Danny Aller I’ve been around animals my whole life — my grandma ran a kennel business, so from a young age, I was helping care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’d help her groom, feed, and love on every pup that came through her doors. Over the years, I’ve had pets of my own too — dogs, cats, and even a couple of raccoons! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ve got it covered with care and experience you can trust. I work full time 8am/3pm so after work I have plenty of time to care/walk dog/cats/any pet I’m honest reliable passionate for all animals alike. To make sure your pets get the best care I will provide them with my undivided attention at all times meaning any of my personal pets will stay at home. While walking I’ll make sure the safety of your pet is my first and only priority. Meaning keep other animals away making sure I’m in a close walking distance at all time. Like stated before safe/secure/comfortable is my biggest concern for the owner also the pet.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I've also looked after friends' dogs while they were away, giving them peace of mind knowing their pets were in loving hands. I'm reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I currently work full-time, but my schedule is quite flexible. I usually have 3 to 4 days off per week, which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs. I’m available for boarding as well, but I do ask for advance notice so I can adjust my schedule accordingly and ensure I have enough time to provide quality care and attention. I make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable by keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also strictly follow any instructions provided by the owner. I am able to provide regular updates (photos and messages) so you feel at ease. At my home, I have a small patio where dogs can easily go in and out, hazard free environment and I can provide crate space if needed.

About: I love pets more than anything and I would really love to have my own but unfortunately my working schedule wouldn’t allow me to, that’s why I am happy to help out other people here instead :) I am currently working full-time Mon-Fri 7.30am to 3pm and I have some weekends off. I am happy to do house sitting for a few days during the week as long as your pet can stay unsupervised while I’m at work. I live in a flat building but I have a lovely front garden where we can play. I also live very close to common park where I usually go for walks in my free time.

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

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: Hi there 👋🏻 My name is Emmily. I have had cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and dogs in my life growing up. I joined here looking for a cat sitter for my extremely fussy Bombay Burmese - I had no idea such a great service existed! Then I realised- I wonder if I can help people too? I work for the NHS so I have a fully enhanced DBS certificate, and I often visit patients homes as part of my job, so I understand the importance of respecting someone’s home and security. I work full time so availability will mainly be evenings and weekends. So if you fancy a weekend away and don’t want to take your best friends to a cattery- get in touch! 🙋‍♀️As your cat sitter I will: 💖Arrange a free Meet & Greet to get to know you and your cats 💖Provide fresh food and water for your cat daily 💖Clean the cat bowls and litter trays 💖Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles 💖Send daily photos and updates as required 💖Water plants, tidy up post and open/close curtains/switch on lights as needed. I work full time. I can offer evenings, weekends, and mornings if needed. I can discuss your pets routines with you and find a way to keep to this as much as possible to keep them settled. I have enhanced DBS checks. I ensure properties are checked and locked. I make sure pets are in a safe area with good warmth, ventilation and nutrition.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has allowed me to develop a deep love and understanding for them. My family had a Labrador named Laisa, who was much more than a pet; she became a therapeutic companion for a family member dealing with mental health challenges. Her presence not only supported their recovery but also brought ease and joy to our daily lives, leaving an indelible mark on us all. I have also always been available to care for friends’ pets when they go on holiday, either by welcoming them into my home or visiting their homes to ensure they are fed and well looked after. Additionally, I have a modest background in animal therapy, which has further enriched my understanding of the profound positive impact animals can have on our lives. Before I began travelling and exploring the world, I had a wonderful horse named “Mortadelo.” Together, we enjoyed therapeutic rides and created a unique bond that taught me the true meaning of human-animal connection. All these experiences have instilled in me the importance of patience, care, and unconditional love for animals—values I bring to every opportunity I have to care for a pet. I am available to offer my help on weekends and all day on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I am available after 8:00 PM. On Fridays, I am available after 4:00 PM. I understand how important your pet is to you and assure you they will be in caring and experienced hands with me. I've grown up with dogs, cared for a family Labrador, worked as a guide dog trainer in Spain, and frequently looked after friends' pets. I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's specific needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing them with the best possible care. You can trust that I will treat your pet with love and attention, ensuring their comfort and security.

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.

I can’t recommend Danny highly enough as a dog walker. He’s responsible, punctual, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. From the moment he met my dog, it was obvious he knew how to build trust and handle dogs with both confidence and kindness. Danny goes above and beyond—making sure my dog gets not just exercise, but also attention, affection, and mental stimulation on every walk. He’s also great at communicating and always lets me know how the walk went. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable hands. Any pup would be lucky to have Danny as their walker!

I can’t recommend Claudia enough for pet sitting! She’s looked after my Jack Russell — and if you know the breed, you know that’s no small feat, she handles her energy and personality like a pro, with so much patience and care. My dog absolutely lights up when she sees her. Claudia is one of those people animals just naturally trust: she’s gentle, attentive, and full of love. I always feel totally at ease knowing my pup is in her hands. On top of that, she’s super reliable and thoughtful, always keeping me in the loop and making sure everything’s just right. She’s not just great with pets, also a genuinely kind and caring person.

About: Hi there 👋🏻 My name is Emmily. I have had cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and dogs in my life growing up. I joined here looking for a cat sitter for my extremely fussy Bombay Burmese - I had no idea such a great service existed! Then I realised- I wonder if I can help people too? I work for the NHS so I have a fully enhanced DBS certificate, and I often visit patients homes as part of my job, so I understand the importance of respecting someone’s home and security. I work full time so availability will mainly be evenings and weekends. So if you fancy a weekend away and don’t want to take your best friends to a cattery- get in touch! 🙋‍♀️As your cat sitter I will: 💖Arrange a free Meet & Greet to get to know you and your cats 💖Provide fresh food and water for your cat daily 💖Clean the cat bowls and litter trays 💖Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles 💖Send daily photos and updates as required 💖Water plants, tidy up post and open/close curtains/switch on lights as needed. I work full time. I can offer evenings, weekends, and mornings if needed. I can discuss your pets routines with you and find a way to keep to this as much as possible to keep them settled. I have enhanced DBS checks. I ensure properties are checked and locked. I make sure pets are in a safe area with good warmth, ventilation and nutrition.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has allowed me to develop a deep love and understanding for them. My family had a Labrador named Laisa, who was much more than a pet; she became a therapeutic companion for a family member dealing with mental health challenges. Her presence not only supported their recovery but also brought ease and joy to our daily lives, leaving an indelible mark on us all. I have also always been available to care for friends’ pets when they go on holiday, either by welcoming them into my home or visiting their homes to ensure they are fed and well looked after. Additionally, I have a modest background in animal therapy, which has further enriched my understanding of the profound positive impact animals can have on our lives. Before I began travelling and exploring the world, I had a wonderful horse named “Mortadelo.” Together, we enjoyed therapeutic rides and created a unique bond that taught me the true meaning of human-animal connection. All these experiences have instilled in me the importance of patience, care, and unconditional love for animals—values I bring to every opportunity I have to care for a pet. I am available to offer my help on weekends and all day on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I am available after 8:00 PM. On Fridays, I am available after 4:00 PM. I understand how important your pet is to you and assure you they will be in caring and experienced hands with me. I've grown up with dogs, cared for a family Labrador, worked as a guide dog trainer in Spain, and frequently looked after friends' pets. I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's specific needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing them with the best possible care. You can trust that I will treat your pet with love and attention, ensuring their comfort and security.

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.
