About: I grew up living in a house always filled with dogs, because of this I have always had a soft spot in my heart to love and care for them. Now I live with my partner, we have our own (currently 6 months old) Labrador, and he is the gift that keeps on giving! Training a puppy isn't easy, but I've loved every minute of it seeing the hard work paying off is a great reward. I currently work as a SEN support worker, working the same shifts weekly so I have plenty of time while I'm not working to dedicate to caring for your fury friends! I am animal first aid trained and fully insured, I am also insured with my car to transport your fury friends to anywhere they may want to wander!

“Kaidyss was great with my two girls, she was very proactive on learning and understanding their needs and kept me updated as to how they were getting on throughout the day with some great photos to show all the fun they were having, would definitely use Kaidyss services again”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including my lovely little Lhasa Apso, Marley Moo, who’s been part of our family for over 15 years! Having him has taught me everything about how to love, care for, and look after a dog through all stages of life. As he’s gotten older, Marley has sadly gone blind and partially deaf, which has definitely been an adjustment for us all but we’ve taken it in our stride and found new ways to keep him happy, playful, and full of life. It’s taught me a lot about patience and caring for dogs with extra needs. Marley now currently lives separately with my dad so I don’t have any pets at home! Aside from Marley, I’ve looked after lots of dogs for friends and family over the years and always jump at the chance when someone needs a sitter! I’ve cared for all sorts of breeds and ages, doing everything from dog walks and day care to overnight stays. No matter what, I always make sure they’re having fun, getting plenty of cuddles, and feeling right at home. Some have even refused to leave… but don’t worry, I promise you’ll always get your dog back 🥹 I currently work a very flexible shift pattern. My days will vary each week and given enough notice I can change/move around my schedule to fit your needs :) I live in a large spacious house and have no other pets or children so no need to worry if your dog doesn’t do well with either of these. I have access to a back yard and a few parks nearby. My home is super pet friendly and I’m more than happy to take on requirements/adjustments to suit your pet if needed!

About: I have always had dogs from being very young. I absolutely love all animals which I have lots of experience so I can ensure you they will be in the best care with myself. I am fully registered and fully insured. I currently work part time so I have a lot of free time to look after your furry babies and give them the best possible care. I will look after your dogs in the comfort of their own home so they feel at ease. I will also give them lots and lots of cuddles :)

About: I have been around dogs all my life, from big to small. I’ve looked after families dogs plenty of times, one which requires diabetic medication and care. In october 2024, I took on a dog that required extra care and attention due to anxiety and being abused as a pup. I work as a TA with flexible hours. Due to the nature of my job, I only work 1-3 days a week which means I can be readily available when needed. I have a large fenced garden with double doors that open onto it, and I am happy to leave the doors open for air flow and to allow the dog freedom of being inside or outside. I can crate if required.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have had my own as an adult for the past eight years. I am dog mum to an eight year old cocker spaniel and a 6 month old daxie - my pride and joy. I have experience with animals from as small as puppies to as large as Thoroughbred horses. I am kind, caring, loving and patient. I will treat your babies just how I treat my own, like royalty. I am available for; home visits and comfort calls. dog walks (30 mins/1 hour) on week days dog walks (full day location walks on weekends) I live in a three bedroom semi detached house overlooking a nature reserve where there are plenty of lovely walks. I have a fenced garden and two lovely dogs to keep your fur baby company. We’re a dogs on the bed/sofa type household!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals and giving them the attention they deserve. While I may not currently own a dog or cat, I absolutely love being around them and treat every furry guest as if they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and naturally attentive — the kind of person who notices when a dog or cat needs reassurance, a cuddle, or just a bit of quiet company. Your pet won’t be one of many; they’ll be the priority. I love being outdoors and spending my weekends exploring the Cleveland Hills, Yorkshire, and Northumbria, so your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, new scents, and relaxed, happy walks — always tailored to their energy and needs. At home, I offer a cosy, comfortable space where pets quickly feel settled, whether that’s pottering around the garden, curling up during a TV series, or simply enjoying a peaceful routine. If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog or cat time, affection, and a warm, home-from-home experience, I’d love to be that person. Monday to Wednesday, I’m out of the house during the day, but I’m very happy to offer evening drop-in visits and dog walks after 17:30 on Monday evenings. This works well for pets who need feeding, a toilet break, a walk, or some company and reassurance in the evening, without requiring overnight care. From occassional Thursdays and every Friday afternoon onwards, and throughout most weekends, I have much more flexibility and can offer longer stays, boarding, and unhurried care. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, quality time, and a relaxed routine. I’m always honest about availability and will only take on care that I know I can give properly, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, attentive hands. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs. I know how important familiarity is for both cats and dogs, so I take time to understand their feeding schedule, walking needs, play preferences, and any little habits that help them feel safe and settled. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always let the pet set the pace. For dogs, this means regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, balanced with rest and downtime. I enjoy being outdoors, so walks are never rushed and are tailored to each dog’s energy level. For cats, I focus on maintaining a peaceful environment, respecting their space, and offering affection on their terms — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or a comforting presence nearby. In both my home and the owner’s home, I keep things clean, secure, and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, gardens, and feeding routines, and I treat every home with respect. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates and reassurance while owners are away. Above all, I aim to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

About: With seven years of consistent pet ownership, including a German Shepherd cross and a cat, I offer practical, real-world experience beyond basic pet sitting. This hands-on background has equipped me with strong observational skills and a deep understanding of animal behavior, including managing high-energy dogs and caring for cats. While not formally certified in puppy training or senior care, my experience has provided exposure to the needs of various life stages, making me a reliable and attentive caregiver. With my part-time work, pet care would be a flexible and central part of my day. I'd dedicate ample time for playtime, walks, consistent feeding, and companionship, easily adapting my schedule to your animals individual needs for attentive and fun care. I provide responsible dog walking and drop-in services, I am committed to the safety, well-being, and routine care of your animals within their familiar home setting.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and a lifetime of having animals of my own, I've been fortunate to make pet care a central part of my life. I've spent years looking after my family's dogs, my partner's dog, and even helping friends and neighbors keep their pets active and happy with regular walks and playtime. Because I work from home, I can give every dog the time, attention, and love they deserve. Unlike larger services where dogs may just be "part of the schedule," I treat each dog as if they’re my own, ensuring they feel secure, stimulated, and completely at home. Whether it’s a leisurely walk for an older pup or engaging play for high-energy dogs, I tailor each day to meet their needs. I understand that pets are family, and when they’re with me, they’ll always feel like they’re right at home. I’m not just here to check a box — I’m here to provide genuine, personal care for each and every dog, going above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is highly flexible, as I work from home, which means I can adapt my day to ensure your dog gets all the care, attention, and stimulation they need. I understand that pets aren’t just looking for a place to stay; they’re looking for companionship and comfort, and I’m here to provide that. Any times that I’m unavailable will be clearly marked on my calendar, and I keep it updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. But most of the time, my work-from-home setup allows me to pace my day around your dog’s needs. Whether they need a midday walk, some playtime in the garden, or simply someone nearby to feel secure, I’m here to make sure they feel completely at home and loved. For me, it’s not just about fitting them into my day — it’s about making them the heart of it. My home is designed with your dog’s safety and comfort in mind. I have a securely fenced garden with locked entry points at both the front and back, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in a secure environment. I’ll always be with them in the garden to ensure they’re safe. Inside, I have my own dog, Yogi, a friendly and playful crossbreed who loves making new friends, and I only welcome one guest dog at a time. This means your dog will have a calm, familiar environment without other unfamiliar pets. If you’d prefer your dog to be walked individually without Yogi, I’m more than happy to accommodate that, too. Plus, there’s a vet just around the corner, so if any situation arises, I can quickly get them the care they need. Your dog will be monitored and cared for throughout the day. Whether they want to be by my side or need their own space, I make sure they have whatever they need to feel at ease. I’ve set up a cozy spare room with blankets where they can relax if they prefer some quiet time, and I’ll check on them regularly to ensure they’re comfortable. I don’t follow a rigid routine, so we can focus entirely on your dog’s needs and preferences. I enjoy engaging dogs in play with toys and games, but I’m also happy to let them rest on the sofa or one of the beds around the house. I’ll rarely, if ever, need to leave your dog alone, and if you prefer they are never left alone, that’s not a problem at all. When caring for a new dog, I take the time to let them explore and get comfortable at their own pace. Building trust is essential, and I find that a calm, gentle approach helps each dog settle in naturally. Over the years, I’ve worked with a range of dog personalities, from shy and reserved to energetic and playful, and I adapt my approach to make sure they feel relaxed and secure. I also use positive reinforcement to help create a comfortable bond. On walks, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I keep them on a lead at all times and follow any specific instructions you have about socializing with other dogs. I have a variety of walking routes nearby, including parks and scenic paths, to keep things interesting and enjoyable. If I have your dog for multiple days, I’ll mix in some gentle adventures to keep them stimulated and engaged. I respect your dog’s privacy and your peace of mind. I can provide photo updates of our time together, but all photos are kept in a secure file on my phone and deleted after our time together. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be cared for as if they were my own, in a safe, loving, and home-like environment.

About: With 12 years of hands-on experience in dog care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. I used to have eight dogs, and in my spare time, I helped my friends with their dogs, and I used to pick up pets abroad. I love dogs, I love the joy they bring me, I will make sure that every dog can have a happy life in my home. My passion for dogs ensures your pet receives not just care, but genuine affection and attention. Trustworthy and reliable, I prioritize your dog’s happiness and well-being, setting me apart from other sitters. Let’s make your dog’s time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! I am a student now and I have a lot of free time. I can play with your dog in my free time. I'm completely free about four days a week, and I'm only busy for four or five hours on other school days. I have my own house and there is a big park next to my house where I can take your dog to play. If there is a good place to take your dog to play near your home, I will also take him to play in a familiar place.

About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.
