1. Emma M.

“Emma is a very caring dog lover,so Ben our Labrador dog was very at home with her. This made us feel very comfortable that he was being really well cared for whilst we were away. We can highly recommend Emma and will be happy to ask her to pet sit again in the future.”

About: I have owned a few dogs growing up as a child including Staffy, Husky malamute and Labradors. I have also accompanied a family member in their dog walking service dealing with breads such as German shepherd’s, lurchers, terriers and many more. I’m currently working 2 days a week after recently cutting down hours due to selling on 9 pups my pooch just had:) I’m available most days and am very flexible I have a 2 year old pup of my own however she is sometimes unpredictable with other females so I tend to leave her at home and stick to the dog walking and the pet owner home sitting services.


6. Liz R.

“Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again”

12. Georgia M.
About: I’ve had a few pets growing up at home, I usually take care of my parents dog Louis whenever they need as he has some pretty serious separation anxiety! I also lived with a roommate who bought a puppy and contributed a lot to its training and still look after her occasionally! Whilst this profile has been fuelled by my general love for furry friends, I am obviously here to take care of your beloved animals and ensure they are safe and happy whenever you need. I live with my partner James, who will be around most evenings but he also loves dogs and will be happy to attend the meet and greets if it makes you and your pet more comfortable! (This would be be boarding) I am DBS checked. I’m working from home pretty much all the time, I rarely go into the office and I can pick and choose the days I go in, and I can work from anywhere with an internet connection!! A day notice is all I need to know when or not to go into the office if I’m needed to care for dogs. Whilst I don’t have a garden at the property, we have a large patch of grass right outside and I’m very much happy to make frequent trips outside for potty breaks. I’m happy to have dogs on furniture etc, as I believe that it’s their home too!! But of course if you do not allow pets on furniture/ in certain rooms at home I will stick to those rules too, anything to make the transition easier.


13. Mia G.

“Mia was great, she popped round before the booking so we could show her where everything was, she was able to come in exactly the window we needed and made sure our cats were in for the night each day. Thanks Mia!”


14. Nirantara M.
About: I have grown up around animals - dogs, cats and horses! I have 3 dogs of my own and bred a litter of 9 from one of them. I volunteered at an animal shelter in India for 5 years before moving to the UK and fostered several dogs and puppies in my home ranging from Pomeranians to Dobermans! I have taken care of several family members' dogs by taking them on walks and pet sitting! I love being outdoors and will every walk with your dog enjoyable for them! I hope to get my own dog in England sometime this year and will be happy to include him in walks if preferred. I work part time and am a university student with a very light schedule so I will have lots of time to make your pups feel like the centre of attention! My own home has a fenced in yard with space for dogs to run around and play. I will happily follow any instructions provided by the owner to best take care of their dog


15. Isaac S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, African snails, chickens, stick insects and more. I have always loved animals with a passion and have been heavily involved with the training, maintenance and care of pets for most of my life. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I am almost always available to play with and care for your furry friends. I am available almost any time, but ask that people book in advance so that I can move round meetings etc in case. I have access to many toys and treats as well as fantastic knowledge of local walking paths (however if you are further a field or have any of their favourite routes that would be a massive help).


16. Lily R.
“Lily is a lovely and dependable young woman who takes utmost care of all animals she finds herself responsible for. She is able to manage dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and will always go the extra mile to ensure their welfare is at the forefront of her priorities.”


17. Ginoveva I.
“Ginoveva watched my dog (Bentley) for a week while I was out of town, and has been over to walk my dogs multiple times. When I was away she sent me updates daily on my pup who looked happier than even when I was there! I came back and picked him up and he was bouncing around wagging his tail and clearly had the best time of his life with her. When she walked the dog I knew that she was good because as soon as her car pulled up after a couple walks Bentley recognized her car and would start wagging his tail and begging to run out to see her. He loves having her show up, and knows that he is about to have a great time. I would recommend Ginoveva for any pup, for wither walks or extended stays!”


18. Holly B.
“I would never leave Hugo with anyone else! Holly is absolutely amazing and Hugo adores her. She always takes him out for regular walks & sends me various pictures throughout the day. I could not be more at ease when I leave my frenchie with her and she is the most loving & caring person. Thank you Holly ❤️ xx”


19. Ellena T.
“I have known Ellie since she was tiny. She walked my dog with my daughter until she was old enough to do it on her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and hardworking. She can put her hand to most things with a smile. I would highly recommend her for this job.”
