Sarah so reliable, loving and friendly, couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for our pet cat Tommy whilst we was away. Sarah kept in touch on how Tommy was and sent picture updates. Can’t wait to rebook Sarah again, 100% recommend!! Thank you for being brilliant.

Amelia was amazing with Luna, she came for two visits whilst we were away over night and sent updates and pictures which really re assured me.

Victoria is a massive animal lover with years of experience! Victoria is a huge help to me when I go away and is always on hand to dog sit and watch my beautiful pooches! My dogs are my life and I wouldn't trust anyone but victoria to watch/walk them while I am away. She is an amazing lady, pleasant, caring, considerate, professional, mature and just a great person to have watching the furr babies of your family. Like I say, I wouldn't choose anyone else to watch my dogs. Ever.

About: I am a registered nurse with a passion for animals. I have vast experience looking after dogs and cats over the years, i love animals and support most charities. I am very flexible and can take pets at short notice I live in a quiet area with plenty of fields to exercise dogs. I will take good care of your pet as if they are my own, I have owned my own dogs and cats for the past 31 years and have rescued several pets. I have been a registered nurse for 29 years and have a clean up to date DBS. I am fit and healthy and love nothing better than spending my time with my pets and caring for them. I will care for your pets like they are my own and ensure they are looked after to the highest standards, dogs have the run of the house and are allowed on furniture and the beds if they wish, I also have a large crate for any crate trained dogs. I have my own transport to take dogs further afield for countryside or beach walks, I do not let any dogs off their lead unless they have very good recall and the owners allow this. I also have experience looking after parrots if you need any help with those too! I've cared for several disabled dogs during my time as a dog boarder and am happy to take dogs with any disability. I'm a stay at home mam with 2 boys aged 13 and 15 who are both very mature with regards to animal welfare, I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets, give them plenty of love and walkies! I have a large fenced yard /decked area with plenty of space for your pets to bask in the sun! My home is open planned with plenty of room for your pets to run around! I will treat your home with the upmost of respect and I also love to tidy!

About: Hey welcome to my profile, I’m Demi, I’m 28, based in Washington, i live with my dogs kaiser and Aida, love long walks and love having a little or large companion next to me, love bike rides, I enjoy going to the gym to keep active, as you can see from my profile I have experience from small to very large breeds so no dog is to much to handle for me! Whatever your dog requires I’m happy to stick to their schedule to keep everything normal as possible for them. ❤️ This is my only work and I take full pride in it so I have all the time in the world to look after ur doggies! My dogs currently get 2 walks a day so your pooches will be spoilt 🥰 I do care in other peoples homes as I don’t offer boarding in my home as one of my dogs don’t get on with other dogs so I just get mine looked after 🙂

Donna is the best Auntie to my cockapoo Coco and pops in on my Tiny chihuahuas Annie and Alice when I’m on holiday or working elsewhere for the day. Coco loves her walks with Donna, shes a lively pup but Donna knows exactly how to control her and is so loving she treats her like her own! I would massively recommend Donna she loves dogs and is absolutely fantastic with them!

Ashleigh looked after my precious boy Teddy while we were on holiday and I couldn't have been happier. She kept us up to date with photos, FaceTimes and daily reports on all their adventures! He was walked twice daily and she even took him out to the beach! Teddy absolutely loved his time with Ashleigh and was treated as if he was her own dog, lots of love and cuddles! Ashleigh also treated our home like her own, everything was respected and left in perfect condition. She even did little bits of housework, although we absolutely didn't expect this it was very much appreciated.

About: I have had years of pet experience due to owning many pets in my family home and out of it , I have taken personal care of my own and for family , from puppies all the way to elder , I have such a soft heart for all animals and wish everyone felt this way too and I’d love to share my love with animals to those who needs it most when you may not be there, but still want the most amazing care for your best friend! I am not currently working so I have so much free time and I think that’s why I’m so dedicated to finally making this hopefully my future career In my home my dog is safe in a fenced off garden when it comes to play time and much more , in your home if you have something similar then I will know how to handle your furry friend perfectly

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore spending time in their company. I’ve cared for many different types from rotties to collies to Jack Russells. I’m vegan so being kind to animals is kind of my whole personality! I’m currently a healthcare student on placement, I generally have shifts 3 or 4 days a week. The other days I’m usually quite free and flexible so can definitely work with you on a weekly basis to work out what’s best for the both of us 😊 I live in student accommodation so unfortunately I can’t offer boarding in my own home however I’m more than comfortable caring from your home or going for adventures with your pup. I used to work as a carer in the community so I’m more than comfortable being in different environments.

About: I have trained my own puppy golden retriever peanut and have over 1 year experience looking after her. We go on an hour walk twice each day. I am currently between jobs so will be free all week/weekends. I currently look after my golden retriever named peanut full time. She loves the company of other pets. I have a large fenced back garden for pets to roam freely. I also live in a bungalow where pets will mainly have access to the large back room.
