“Lydia kept me informed throughout the day. Ralph obviously likes her and seems to respond very well to her. Lydia made sure Ralph had food and water and she left the house very tidy. Thank you, I would definitely book Lydia every time. 🤗”

“Jodie was fantastic with Bertie for our long weekend away. She tailored her care to his needs which we appreciated so much. She left our place immaculate as well! Would 100% recommend Jodie!”

“Sherry stayed at our home for 5 days and took great care of our dog and three cats. She’s a true animal lover and looked after them really well. Communication was very good, and we felt at ease the whole time. We’ll definitely ask her to pet sit for us again and strongly recommend her to others.”


About: I have had dogs all my life, I have fed them, walked them, played with them and looked after them while my parents have been away, I would take good care of any type of dogs and I’m understanding of different types of behaviours I am currently working full time but work from home 3 days a week so I am mostly flexible. I am free every evening during the week and most weekends and would love to help out where I can. I have a fenced nice sized garden and a friendly golden retriever that can play all day long! I love spoiling her with treats and toys for her to play and eat!
“Ian did an excellent job of looking after Troye in my home. He gave me regular updates and pictures so I knew how Troye was. Ian did exactly as I asked, took a lot of care- and Troye loved him! I would definitely recommend Ian. Reliable, trustworthy and a real animal lover, thanks Ian! 🐶🥰”


About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals, starting with the two cats, two bearded dragons and many rabbits I grew up with. For the past five years, my girlfriend and I have shared our home with a Golden Retriever and a British Shorthair, so I’m well-versed in both maximum energy and maximum sass. I understand that every pet has a different personality. I’m comfortable going for a long, active walk with a Golden and giving a cat the space it needs while making sure it’s fed and happy. I’m reliable, I actually enjoy the company of animals, and I’m happy to stick to whatever specific routine or quirks your pets might have while you're away. I work a field-based role Monday through Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. Unlike a typical office job, I have the ability to adjust my whereabouts and check in on your pets when they actually need it, rather than just before or after a 9-to-5. I’m also fully available on weekends for longer walks or boarding. I only offer care in the pet owner's home, as I find animals are much more relaxed in their own environment. I’m extremely respectful of your space and mindful of security. Having a Golden Retriever and a British Shorthair of my own, I know how important it is to keep their existing routine; feeding, exercise, and meds exactly as they expect it. I’m happy to send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away.
“Alex is brilliant and we loved how she looked after out Benji our Bernese Mountain Dog. We were kept informed about him and the routine that was maintained. We received daily updates as well as photos of him. We are at ease whilst we were away. We would most definitely recommend Alex to anybody who is looking for a dog sitter. And we are already looking to do our next booking with Alex.”

“So pleased Alex was available for our repeat booking- she’s SO great at sending us updates and Bertie loves her. Was sleeping belly-up less than 30 mins after we left!”

About: Over the years, I’ve been extremely lucky to be trusted to care for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re at work, away for weekends, or on holiday. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Shiba Inus, and mixed breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Some dogs are happiest relaxing quietly, others love long walks, some enjoy hours of belly rubs, and others just want to play and cuddle. I take the time to really listen to owners and learn about each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which helps me provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This individual approach is what has led to trusted, ongoing dog-sitting relationships. I truly believe no two dogs are ever the same, and I care for each one as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for local walks or drop-ins during my lunch breaks. With notice, I’m also available from Friday evening through to Sunday evening, to help care for your pets. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine. I had my cat Gizzy for 8 years in our 3-bedroom home, where she was free to roam and enjoy our large, fully fenced garden. She loved spending hours basking in the sun on our decking during the spring and summer months. Inside, she had full access to furniture and especially loved relaxing on the sofa. When caring for friends’ or neighbours’ pets, I follow their instructions carefully and respect their home and routines. I’m often entrusted with a key and any special requirements their pets may have. I prioritise safety, comfort, and creating a loving environment so every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while in my care.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even the occasional rescue. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always been the first person friends and family trusted to look after their pets whenever they travelled or needed help. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and consistency that some pets need to feel safe and comfortable. This experience helps me connect quickly with nervous, shy, or sensitive animals. I’m DBS‑checked and pet first aid certified, and I take pride in offering calm, reliable, and loving care. Whether it’s drop‑in visits, feeding, companionship, or longer overnight stays, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, routine, and genuine affection. I’m available throughout the week, so I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I don’t currently offer standalone dog walking, but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of an overnight stay or longer pet‑sitting booking. Having a flexible schedule means I can give pets plenty of attention, keep to their routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible such as feeding times, walks (if part of a pet‑sitting stay), playtime, and any little habits that help them feel relaxed. For drop‑in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get some company and playtime, and I always send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. During overnight or longer pet‑sitting stays, I stay in the home to keep pets in their familiar environment. I keep the house tidy, maintain their routine, and give them plenty of attention and reassurance. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, and I don’t provide standalone dog walking but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of a pet‑sitting booking.

I am happy to learn pet preferences, dog's favorite walking routes and anything else that may make you or your pet feel more comfortable using my services. I will ensure that I tailor the experience for your pet to exactly what you want and what they prefer.
“We had Ryan over to look after Whiskey for 2 days while we were away. He was responsible, caring and had a good understanding of Whiskey’s behaviour. Kept us constantly updated with how they were doing through messages and pictures. 🙂”

About: I’ve always had a natural love for dogs and feel completely at ease around them. Growing up, I had my own dog who was a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, care, and patience they need to feel happy and secure. Spending time with dogs comes naturally to me—I enjoy their personalities, energy, and companionship, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m attentive to their needs and committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and at weekends. This means I can fit visits in around a consistent routine and make sure your pet is checked on regularly. I’m reliable and organised, so I always plan visits carefully to suit your pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also happy to be flexible where possible and will communicate clearly with you about availability and timings. I provide a calm, safe and reliable environment for pets, whether I’m caring for them in their own home or visiting for drop-ins. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, litter cleaning, and any specific instructions from the owner. Having grown up with cats, I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable in their space. I’m patient and attentive, and I always take time to build trust at the pet’s pace. I keep the home clean, secure, and stress-free, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Krystal was brilliant with our young dog Marshall. She did everything we asked and more for him, taking great care of him on an extremely hot weekend. She kept us up to date with photos and videos. Would highly recommend!”


About: I provide loving, reliable home from home care backed by real handson experience with dogs of different temperaments and needs. Having two black Labradors of my own, including a blind reactive rescue I adopted three years ago, I’m especially confident with nervous, rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, offering calm, patient, and understanding care that helps them feel safe and settled. I currently work from home, which allows me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide regular walks, attention, and consistent companionship. At weekends, I have complete flexibility, meaning I can fully adapt to your dog’s schedule and ensure they receive attentive, personalised care. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, reassuring environment while their owner is away. This includes playtime, enrichment, and teaching new tricks to keep them engaged, as well as regular toilet breaks and walks around the neighbourhood if requested. I also ensure they are fed according to their usual schedule and that their water bowl is always kept clean and topped up. I make sure they receive plenty of companionship, affection, and cosy cuddle time so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in familiar surroundings.
About: Antonia and I are both dog lovers looking for extra company on walks and in the holidays. I have had 2 Border Collies growing up as a child, one of which my parents still have now called Lily. I helped to train her from a pup, and have confidence with helping other dogs recall. I was also on borrow my doggie looking after other people dogs which have varied in size, breed and one had a disability. This went well and kept me busy in the school holidays however it was only a voluntary role. I am a teacher therefore will be busy on most days from 7am to 4:30pm School holidays or weekends would be a great time to care for your dog I have a fenced garden which is secure. Opposite the house there is a large green and small forest perfect for walks. In the house the dogs will be cared for as you wish. We are happy to have the dogs on the sofa and upstairs or in a crate if you prefer We often look after my mums dog so there are treats and toys in the house already
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and keep their pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow routines exactly for meals, meds, crates, and house rules included. I always send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I’m available for morning and evening visits, and I can also do longer daytime stays when needed. I’m consistent, on time, and I’ll keep your pet’s routine the same. Safety is my top priority. I follow instructions exactly (leash rules, feeding amounts, meds, and house routines) and I keep doors and gates secure. I monitor your pet closely, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash situations unless you request it, and I send regular updates with photos.

Lucia took great care of our two dogs and was wonderful in adapting to their needs and personalities. Our little dachshund can be shy and a bit anxious and Lucia gave her space and was very gentle with her. Our rescue dog loved Lucia who gave her lots of attention and treats. Loved all the cute pics and updates during the stay as it put our mind at ease!

Bethany looked after our cat, Winnie, in our home for five days, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the start, we felt completely at ease leaving Winnie in her care. She looked after Winnie so well, making sure she was happy, fed, and getting plenty of attention. Kept us updated while we were away. On top of being great with Winnie, Bethany left the flat tidy and clean, which we deeply appreciated coming home to. She is reliable, respectful, and a true professional. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Thanks again to Lydia for looking after Eva on Friday. We had an important event to attend and we needed to arrive on time. Lydia arrived early to enable us to leave in good time. We were sent lots of pictures during the day and we could see that Eva was being well looked after. We hope to be in touch soon.
