About: I've been caring for dogs for years, starting with my family pup, whom I trained and looked after for three years. Now, I have my own Cavapoo, Alfie, whom I've raised since he was a puppy. I also regularly dog-sit for family and friends, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, reliable care. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pup will be in safe and caring hands with me! I’m currently working full time, however I have weekends and all day Fridays, I work from home therefore I have plenty of free time for your pets! They will go on lovely walks with me, be well looked after and given lots of cuddles! I have my own back garden, that is full fenced and private! I have no children just a partner and a beautiful dog who is very friendly and gets on with all dogs!
About: I’m a true animal lover and have had pets my entire life—everything from playful puppies to wise senior dogs and cuddly cats. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping energetic pups entertained, giving senior pets gentle care, or simply providing lots of cuddles and companionship, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I'm a teacher with the summer off, and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my days than caring for animals! With a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays throughout the day. Your pet will have my full attention, and I’m more than happy to work around their routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel at ease—free from stress and full of love. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. You can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I share my home with a friendly Golden Retriever and two cats, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve grown up with both large and small dog breeds, and I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their unique personalities. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra attention while you're away, I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. As a full-time teacher, I provide pet care during school holidays when I have full availability. During these times, I focus on giving pets reliable, attentive care through walks and drop-in visits, making sure they get plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. During drop-in visits, I follow all instructions you provide-whether that’s feeding, giving fresh water, administering medication, playtime, or just some calm company. I always check that your pet is safe and content before leaving, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For dog walks, I tailor the pace and route to match your dog’s energy level, age, and needs. I keep a close eye on safety, avoid overly crowded areas, and make sure they get both physical exercise and positive interaction. I treat every pet like one of my own-reliable, respectful care with lots of love and attention.

Becky D.
“Becky for as long as I can remember has loved animals, she’s had them all, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, you name it. But throughout the years she’s always had dogs, they are her favourite. It’s always been a passion of hers to care for animals and watch them learn and grow and live a happy fulfilling life, she has had big dogs such as a German Shepard, always taking her on long walks and took her to puppy training, and even little dogs too. She always welcomes my three dogs, a big Airedale, an English bulldog, and a French bulldog into her home, to play and be welcomed by her lovely sprocker spaniel, despite them all being a handful! I would trust her any day with one of my dogs, knowing they are in safe hands and will be loved to the fullest.”
