“Haiqing was amazing visiting our cat while we were away, feeding her, giving her attention and clearing the litter tray. Haiqing is totally reliable and it made us enormously happy, see photographs and knowing that Bluebell was in safe hands. Highly recommended!”


About: I have grown up with there always being animals in my household. I currently have an active cocker spaniel and look after my friends and families pets when they go away. I enjoy going for walks and spending time looking after animals. I am currently working part time, meaning I am available after 2pm for longer walks - Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday And then all day Thursday/saturday/sunday. I am also able to fit in short visits or walks before 9.30am on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday I have a good size garden and just behind my house is a large open space that is a hang out for all the local dogs. I also live very close to a large park, which is great for walks. I have one small/medium size dog that is extremely friendly to other animals and humans.

“Would be lost without Amanda! I have a nervous young dog who doesn’t like strangers coming to the house, so wasn’t sure how I’d manage when I had to go back into the office. Was so lucky to find Amanda as she was so patient and went so slowly to build up a relationship with her, and now my dog looks forward to her visits each week! Thank you Amanda :)”

About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs since I was little. Having first had a Scottish terrier growing up, I was able look after him at every stage of his life with increasing responsibility ensuring he was walked, clean, socialised and loved so that he enjoyed his life to the fullest. I’ve since re-homed two mixed terrier breeds with my family - Jackson and Yoda - so have experience working with anxious, reserved dogs since they needed significant help and patient reassurance adjusting to a completely new environment. I am accustomed to washing, exercising and feeding dogs as well as administering some medications and finding new ways to enrich their time. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new dogs! I am currently a maths undergraduate at the University of Bath so have plenty of flexibility outside of the academic terms as well as during quieter periods to entertain and look after any dogs - whether they are perfect angels or more on the furry gremlin side of pets! I enjoy long walks myself so am happy to exercise your dog outside for as much time as they need. I am also available for drop in visits to check on and play with your dog most mornings and afternoons subject to occasional other commitments. I live near multiple parks, a golf course and some woodland areas – plenty of places for your dog to explore! I can easily adjust any walks to the capabilities of your dog.

About: Hi, I’m Tom, a 27 year old with a real love for dogs. I moved away from my family home (and dog) from the south coast and I’ve been missing the dog interaction ever since. I’ve had dogs since the age of 5, so I see myself as experienced in caring for and interacting with these amazing animals. I’d love to be able to spend more time giving my love to dogs while helping people out along the way. I work full-time, Monday-Friday, 9-5. However, some of that time is spent working from home and this is often flexible which means I’m able to free up some time over lunch, after work or before work. Ideally I’d like to walk a dog on a regular schedule, but also don’t mind the one off if needed! They tend to get spoiled a bit and take authority over other people in the house… But when it comes to other dogs, I always make sure I abide by the owners’ rules and wishes.

About: I really enjoy caring for family pets, so they feel calm and reassured when I visit. As a pet owner myself, I know what it takes to leave my pet with other people, and will care for your pet like my own. I’m currently working part time so will have plenty of time to play either your pets. I will work around your requirements and send feedback from every visit. I have a fenced garden so a very secure environment for your pet to explore and exercise in. Lots of pet friendly toys too. Great entertainment

About: I go the extra mile to make sure every dog feels at home, even when they’re not. I have experience with puppies, helping with basic training, as well as senior dogs who need extra care and a slower pace. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because at the moment I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quiet company, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. I have a puppy at home, so my space is already pet-friendly and set up for safety, play, and comfort. At my home, pets have plenty of room to roam, play, and relax, with toys, cozy spots, and a consistent routine.

About: I grew up with dogs as part of the family, so now that I live away from home and can’t have one of my own, I really miss having them around. That’s why I love helping care for other people’s pups. Based in St Albans, I fit in dog walks, house sitting and check-ins around my full-time job. It gives me my much-needed dog fix and a bit of extra coffee money, all while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Currently, I am available every day of the week apart from Tuesday and Thursdays. My calendar will always be up-to-date as I would also have occasional weekend days available. Although in a flat, I have a communal garden where a dog would be happy to run. I am also next to a lovely park where many dogs go to be walked. Long walks are available.

About: I've had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always loved the company of furry friends. Until recently I had a very energetic terrier of my own but love dogs and cats of all types and sizes! I want to give your pets the care they deserve. I usually work from home most of the week, going in once or twice. I'd really like to make my days more fun by having the company of a furry friend! I don't have any pets right now so yours would have complete freedom in my home. I have access to a fenced garden and am near nice places to walk.

About: I adore dogs and I am unfortunately unable to have one in my rental flat, so I thought offering to walk others' dogs might fill the void! I regularly puppy sit for my sister's 4 year old whippet and my sister in law's cockapoo. I was also extremely lucky to always have a dog in my childhood home. Our first family dog was a scrappy, collie-cross called Baldrick with the cheekiest soul and, as he got older, the stinkiest breath. Then when I was 10 we got a rescue mongrel we called Dobby, who was the gentlest, best natured dog a family could wish for. Both Dobby and Baldrick lived until they were 18!!! I am used to being gentle with anxious dogs and ensuring boundaries are in place to make everyone feel safer and have the best walk possible! My partner and I both wish we could have a dog but unfortunately our current jobs and flat won't allow for pets! Therefore walking your dog would mean the world to me just to get some doggy love into my life! I work full time Mon-Friday, however I am available Mon-Wed from 5:30pm, Thursdays from 4:30pm and Fridays from 4pm. I am also available on the weekends. I'd be happy to walk your dog as a regular commitment or as a one off! I will always make sure I speak with you about your dog's personality and preferences before going for a walk (e.g. Whether they are comfortable around other dogs, if they are allowed off lead etc.). I will only take them to parks where there is space for them to explore on or off lead, and I prefer to only take them off lead if they know and recognise me (preferably after 3 or so walks). If a dog displays signs of anxiety or distress I am comfortable taking them away to a calm space and soothing them with a gentle tone.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover! I grew up with numerous pups through my life and love getting to spend as much time with them as possible! I have walked professionally previously which was lots of fun. Now I have a pup of my own who is a crazy ball of fun and sass. I love getting to spend my time with her and with all her pup friends! I am currently focusing on my health away from my career so I am free to dog walk through the week and have a very flexible schedule. Mostly I am just looking to bring some joy to pups lives! I care for all dogs as if they were my own. I take all precautions possible and will ensure to have full conversations with each owner to ensure their dogs needs are taken care of.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was like 10 years old. My previous dog died of old age when he was 15 and 7 years later I decided to adopt another one, he’s name is Rocky and he’s been with us for more than 3 years. He gets along with all dogs and because of that we are looking to help other dog owners in our area. I’m free most of the weekends but if you contact me in advance I’d be happy to organise my calendar according to what you need. I live with my partner and he’s also happy to help We have a small patio at the back of our ground floor flat which we’re the only ones with access to it. We have no carpets in the flat, so nothing to worry about when they come back from muddy walks :)

About: My love for cats (and dogs) started when I was 13. We finally had our very first cat, after many tortoises, fish, rabbits and birds. I have been taking care of Caramellina (my cat in Italy) on a daily basis before going to uni. I am used to feed animals at a certain time (making sure they follow their routine), I know how to clean and sanitise litter trays and, of course, ensuring the cats get their deserved play and chill time. I am a cat owner as well! I am a teacher and I am on holidays for the whole month of August. I am free any time in the day. I can reach your house to take care of your cat(s) by bus, tube or train. If the way you clean your cat litter tray is different from mine, I will adapt really easily: just give me clear instructions and what you tell me will be done. I do not want to change your routine, and most importantly, not your cat’s.

About: I’m a friendly, caring, and welcoming pet sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the past few years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends, family, and local neighbors, building wonderful relationships along the way. What started as helping out those close to me has grown into caring for many local pups, and I’ve found so much joy and fulfillment in every wagging tail and happy face. I currently work from home a few days a week which allows me look after others pets while they may be at work or away. I spend most of my time at home working during the day and get out for a walk a couple of times a day. I live in a one bedroom flat with plenty of room to allows your pup to have room to play. With access to outside spaces.

About: I have grown up with dogs (of all sizes!) from birth and have taken care of neighbours, family members and friends’ dogs since a teenager. I’ve also looked after dogs on BorrowMyDoggy when I lived in London. I’m a confident carers of all dog breeds and sizes! I work from home part of the week so have plenty of time to play with and walk dogs/ puppies. I’m available for boarding from Friday through to Monday - I spend most my weekends walking into town, in the garden, or going to parks so your dog will be well stretched and looked after. I have a fenced garden, a bigger shared garden behind my fence, and Clarence Park is on my doorstep. I have a good sized front living room, long hallway and doors that open out into the garden from the end room so your dog will have lots of space to roam around as they please.

About: I am a 33 year old female with a 2 year old cocker spaniel, who is the real love of my life! I have also been so lucky to have grown up around family dogs my whole life and therefore whole heartedly understand how precious our pets are and how best to take care of them. I work from home on Fridays and Tuesdays and can look after another dog at home on these days. On these days your dog will also have a friend with my dog also being at home. My dog is very happy around other dogs and can adapt to their preferred friend, be it giving space if the dog is elderly or playing gently if the dog is younger. My dog is not neutered and hence any dog which stays with us can’t be aggressive towards non-neutered dogs. I own a detached house with its own secured and walled garden. Your dog will have : -frequent access to our garden throughout the day for toilet breaks. -Access to 2 bowls of water at all times. -3 Walks a day (depending on collection /drop off times). I will do 2 hours of walking a day with my dog and hence the dog I’m sitting will also attend these walks. This will include a morning, lunch and evening walk. I will speak to mum / dad to ensure the length we walk is suitable and to check preference regarding on or off lead walking. -I will provide you regular photo updates throughout your dogs stay. -I absolutely love cuddles and your dog will be allowed on the couch for regular cuddles with me!

Rosa P.
“We asked Rosa to look after our cat Sylvester over Easter while we were away for 10 days, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Sylvester is a very anxious and nervous house cat who usually hides away from visitors, so we were naturally quite concerned about leaving him. Rosa went above and beyond, making extra visits to meet with us and Sylvester, before we went on vacation, to gradually gain Sylvester's trust. To our surprise, she was able to gently coax him out from behind the sofa — something we never expected! It was clear from the updates and photos she sent that Sylvester quickly warmed to her, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was comfortable and in safe hands while we were away. We were genuinely amazed at how quickly Sylvester came around to welcome Rosa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thoroughly recommend Rosa — she’s kind, patient, and clearly has a wonderful way with animals.”


Marion S.
“Marion is a patient and caring sitter. She is able to earn the trust of pets easily, while also having them listen when required. She can be there for play or training alike and is appreciated by both humans and animals.

I'd definitely recommend her and I'm looking forward to have her supporting Otis and I again 🙌 thank you!”

Jason O.
“I've known Jason for years, and I can't recommend him enough. He's been around dogs his whole life -growing up with them taught him how to read their behaviour and understand what they need. When he had a family dog in his previous relationship, I saw first hand how dedicated and caring he was taking lots of extra time to teach her many many tricks. He's the kind of person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs and treats them like family. Jason is incredibly reliable and responsible and understands that your dog is not just a pet but part of your family. So you can trust him to keep your furry friend safe and happy.”
