“Rhiannon was great with Mocha, even though Mocha was very nervous at first, Rhiannon still managed to take her for some zoomies on the beach 😀 would definitely recommend her and will definitely be in touch again 😊”


“Sam has been great with Kiwi, she doesn’t take very well to anyone other than me so it can be a struggle to get dog walk assistance. But with Sam, she’s getting there, she is definitely enjoying her walks with him. Highly recommended.”


About: I've looked after friends dogs for years and am a huge dog lover looking to spoil your pet when you can't. Playing fetch and going for walks. Im retired, fit and looking for more time with my favourite animals. I'm pretty much available 7 days a week. With a big park right around the corner I'm also looking for a walking partner. I have a back yard and can crate your pet if needed. They are free to roam around the house as if it's their own home.

About: I've always been around animals. I've taken care of my dogs and cat since I was 14. I graduated from veterinary medicine but for now, I don't work as a vet. I have enhanced the DBS check. I currently work part-time as a care & support worker during school hours, and I'm flexible and will be happy to fit into your calendar. Ensuring safety, trust, and a nurturing environment is paramount. In your home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, follow your guidelines, and prioritize a secure, loving atmosphere for optimal care.

“Paddy had a great walk and Rebecca was very professional”


“Lynn walked my dog for nearly an hour even though I had only booked half hour! She sent me updates and photos and I felt very comfortable letting my fur baby go out with her. We spoke at length before she left and I felt reassured as I had never done this before! I would definitely use Lynn again. Thanks Lynn he has been asleep all afternoon x”


“Charlotte was excellent at keeping me updated and Max looked like he had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend Charlotte!”

About: Since I was a child, I've cared for my family dogs. We've owned a dachshund who recently passed away from old age, and my family cared for multiple stray dogs around our area by feeding them. I love taking pets on walks and playing with them. Apart from our family dogs, I've walked rescued stray dogs at their centre. I also love cats and I have experience in cat-sitting my friend's cat while she was on vacation. I currently don't own a pet because I'm a University student who came to the UK to study :). I'm a student currently on summer break, so I'm available anytime during the day. I can take care of your pets on the weekdays and weekends while you're not available! I don't offer any services in regards to caring for pets at my home since I live with a kid. In the pet owner's home, I will prioritize their safety by following the owner's instructions and make sure they're well fed, loved, and taken care of.

About: I have throughout youth and adult life had dogs as pets and looked after those of friends and relatives whilst they were away on holiday. I am self employed and always looking for new skills and experience in whatever field. Very flexible rota and can work long hours if needed. I work out with owners beforehand on the best ways towards keeping their pet safe and understanding their schedule for walks, eating and play time.

About: Since I was a child, I’ve always been surrounded by family and friends’ pets, taking care of them as if they’re my own. From that I gained a natural love of caring for all dogs/cats. I’ve looked after many dogs, from two adventurous Newfoundlands to dainty and humble Cockapoos. My young energy is paired well with playful pups, however I’ve always been complimented for my laid-back attitude which is suited for less spirited, older dogs. I have had 3 years of trained experience, but most of my life casually caring for pooches. My cousin suggested this app to me, as she believes I’m a top dog sitter and I have the skills/ability necessary for the role. My skills vary from training puppies, walking (young/old) dogs, keeping them healthy, cleaning, following owners instructions, sticking to a feeding schedule and nurturing them always. I currently work part-time, so I have a grand amount of free time to look after your dogs. I’m available weekdays and most weekends, with never too much getting in the way. Unfortunately my home isn’t somewhere that I would be able to care for your pets as I live in a top floor flat, with no outside area to cater for dogs/cats. Although, at your home I will always abide by the rules for keeping your pets safe and secure. Adjusting well to new environments, I will reassure your pets with keeping everything in your home the way it should be and sticking to their schedule of activities (their time outside, feeding and more).

About: I am a certified Pet Microchip Implanter; I've taken care of cats for as long as 10 years now - tending to their basic needs as well as getting to understand their behavioural traits. I have also dog sat for French bulldogs, Labradors and Pomeranians - once you've bonded with an animal it's the best feeling in the world. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have time on my hands to help take care of your pet and tend to walking and feeding duties. I have a fenced garden, 4 separate rooms, 3 bathrooms and a spacious hallway. I will keep the pet happy by providing them with quality time and a safe and comfortable place for down time.

About: Back in India, I have the joy of being a pet parent to two amazing dogs—a small, affectionate Shih Tzu and a large, gentle White Retriever. Having these two wonderful companions has taught me so much about the unique needs and personalities of different breeds, and I’ve become comfortable and skilled in caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand the peace of mind every pet parent seeks, especially when they need to be away from their beloved pets. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for them, and I want to offer that assurance to other pet parents. My goal is to make their experience worry-free, so they can feel at ease knowing their dogs are in safe, caring hands. Since moving to the UK, I’ve missed my dogs deeply, but my love for dogs remains as strong as ever. Spending time with dogs brings me a joy that’s hard to put into words. I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and respect, and I take pride in providing a safe, comforting experience for them. I’m dedicated to creating moments of happiness, whether it's through a relaxed walk, a playful fetch, or simply giving them time to explore and sniff. For me, dog care is about more than just tending to their needs—it's about building a connection, understanding their quirks, and making them feel loved and secure. I’m here to ensure that pet parents can travel or take a break with peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in good hands. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, bringing structure and joy to my days. I set aside dedicated time each day for walks, play, and bonding, ensuring every dog I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My weekly routine includes visits to local parks and dog-friendly spaces, making sure each pet has a balanced mix of activity and relaxation. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to a routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them settled and happy. In a pet owner's home, I follow their established routines closely to make the experience as familiar as possible for the pet, ensuring their needs are met with consistency and care. My focus is always on providing a loving, attentive, and stress-free experience, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“Janelle took care of my cat, Feifei, around Christmas time while I was abroad, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, always sent me daily updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. One especially sweet gesture was the adorable little crocheted Santa hat she made for Feifei. Janelle made sure Feifei was always clean, comfortable and happy.
