About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, mainly owning Rottweilers, but more recently owning a Jack Russel x. I had helped out at my Aunt and Uncles boating kennels and obedience training club during secondary school holidays, providing me with lots of experience handling and caring for dogs of different breeds and ages. During a 9-month university placement this academic year I would dog sit for my land lady multiple times a month. She owned two labradors, one young working peg dog with a protein allergy, the other an arthritic, retired peg dog. I exercised both dogs depending on their individual needs for the day, and ensured they received their medications and supplements in their specifically designed meals. I have also more casually dog sat for family members and neighbours, including social anxious, elderly and juvenile dogs. I assisted my auntie in training her puppy, and I have taught my dog many fun party tricks, like ringing a dinner bell and shutting cupboard doors. I am currently at home in-between academic years, with some part time work on. I am available most of the time from now to September 17th, with 3 weeks of dog sitting already arranged. I will be available again during the Christmas and easter periods in Kent, and available during the academic terms in Nottingham and Leicestershire. I will care for the dog/pet in which ever way the owner requests. Day-to-day, I will wake up and take the dog out for a toilet, feed them and then do any other dog related jobs (poo picking, tidying crates/dog beds, any accidents overnight). I will usually update the owner on how the dog is after all jobs are completed in the morning, unless they have requested to only be contacted incase of emergencies. If the weather is quite warm or severely raining, I will wait to take the dog out for a walk, otherwise I may take the dog on a walk at this point, unless the owner has requested it is walked at specific times or frequencies. I have completed a "Mastering Medications" course by XL Vets, teaching me how to properly inject animals via different routes, about sterility and what medications can be given alongside others.

“Hollie was brilliant with our dog, Nellie. Hollie was able to help at very short notice and her communication is fantastic. It was easy to have a meet and greet over video call and on the day, Hollie was great with Nellie and gave us lots of photo updates. When we got back Nellie was in a great mood and had clearly enjoyed the company! We've already booked Hollie for future dog sits”

“Kathryn looked after my very anxious vocal little dog with severe separation anxiety for an evening. Kathryn was on time, took a real interest in Cody and his likes and dislikes and asked about any special requirements we had. She was very friendly and approachable. She also sent me a msg with photo shortly after we had left the house to reassure me that Cody was okay which I really appreciated and a follow up one later. It would be a pleasure to have Kathryn look after him again.”

About: Introducing quality care for your best friend🐾❤️
Your fur baby is like your child. Why take your child out of your home and into the kennels whilst you’re away? That's where i come in, passionate and caring. Ready to pamper your fur-baby like it's their own holiday! 
This is something i'm very passionate about, having experienced poor care of my animals whilst in the kennels/cattery. ❌🙁
Growing up with cats, dogs, rabbits and bearded dragons (you name it, we had it) I currently own two cats, one male Bengal and one female Russian Blue and will be looking to rescue a dog in the very near future. After growing up with a very anxious cocker spaniel, I understand more than ever that the kennels aren't a happy place for the majority of pets. I strongly believe in your animals getting a holiday whilst you're on your holiday!🛫
That’s why i am committed to pamper your fur-baby so that whilst you’re having a relaxing holiday, so are they!🐾
I am happy to do overnight stays, daily check ins or even just long walks! I love keeping fit and going on long hikes and runs myself and what better way to do that than with a furry friend!🥾🐾
Assisting in all dietary needs and specific food requirements, alongside administering oral medication. As well as maintaining any form of regular training, so even when you're not around, your babies routine is still the same and their knowledge and growth is continuing.✅
It's important that you know your pet is being taken care of whilst youre away, that's why i'm happy to continously check in with you, with updates as well as pictures, however little or often you wish.📸💬
I do work, working for the emergency services on a shift pattern basis. Meaning i'll be able to tell you up to a year in advance exactly what days i am fully available as well as specific times and dates! 📚If enough advance is given i may also be able to organise both working from home days and time off! 🗓️I will ensure transparency is given when booking so you are aware of everything every step of the way!🗣️
Working a shift pattern not every week can be the same for me, which i know can be scary as routine is important. 😦I am still happy to continue to do home check ins and walks both before and after work as well as overnight stays should you be happy with your pet being unattended whilst i'm at work! It's not all negative, working a shift pattern ensures i am free on both weekdays and weekends whenever you may need it most! ✅
What safer person to have around your dog than someone who has gone through extreme vetting and checks to protect the public?😊
I am experienced in both large and small dog breeds and will never shy away from a challenge. I would love to take the time to meet your pet with you present beforehand, this allows for a peace of mind for you as well! 🏡
From...dog walks, to daily check ins for food, attention and play time on both dogs and cats as well as overnight stays. 
Whatever your heart desires i am fully capable and committed to deliver happiness to both you and your fur-baby! 🐕🐾 No task is too big or too small! Thank you for taking time to read my profile, i look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!🐈‍⬛🐕 I’m currently working on a shift pattern basis! Although my availability is never the same each week! This allows me to be free on both weekends and weekdays for either dog walks, daily check in’s or overnight stays! I have a fenced back garden with a large walking fields behind my home! Although i do have two cats, these cats are socialised with dogs and equally can be kept upstairs if needed!

“We've never had a pet sitter before as our dog has always gone into kennels when we've gone away. But as he's an old boy now he needs more care. Elena cared for him and looked after him better than we do! Elena kept in contact with us and sent photos whilst we were away which put us at ease. She's a lovely lady and we won't hesitate to have her again. We highly recommend Elena.”

“Both my dogs had a lovely time with Lou, they were pleased to see her and I am sure looking forward to seeing her in the future. Lou is professional, caring and responsible and my dogs felt instantly at ease with her!”

“The absolute best dog carer we've ever come across! Professional, caring, communicative, trustworthy - goes above and beyond to give your dog the best. Reya looked after our two cockapoos as well as my mum's two cockapoos for four days - so four cockapoos in total! She asked all of the right questions ahead of the stay which put us at ease and showed she genuinely cared about their routine and how to best care for them. During the stay Reya made sure all of dogs got equal levels of her attention and made the effort to play with them with toys and bubbles, give them regular walks, cuddles and even let them all sleep in her bed with her! One of the dogs, Coco, can be quite anxious and has had a traumatising kennel experience in the past but Reya managed to gain her trust pretty quickly which we found amazing and quite emotional to see. Reya even came back later on the last day to debrief the stay with us and told us all about each individual dog and how they behaved - she also put together an amazing video montage for us to watch showing everything they got up to! They really looked like they had the time of their lives! We feel so lucky to have found Reya and will not hesitate to book her again! Thank you Reya!”

About: My name is Mel, I’m 32 years old and a working professional. I come from a background where pets have been by my side from a young age. My mum has 2 rescue chihuahuas who I care for regularly. My partner has a large German shepherd, so I have good experience with both pets small and large. Pets are family, I live in a large home with lots of space, dogs are allowed on furniture. However, I will continue your same home rules in my home to keep consistency. But there will be lots of belly rubs and bum scratches! I work shift work and am very active, so happy to take your dogs out for long walks come rain or shine. My calendar is regularly updated for easy booking and availability. What works for you in your home, will work for me in mine. I’d like to know their care schedule, feeding preferences and what could be a trigger for them if they can be anxious or weary. Finding out their favourite games and preferred treats, toys etc

“There aren't enough stars for Luke! He is truly the most phenomenally caring and trustworthy sitter we've ever had for Ziggy (our very bouncy, 2.5yr Golden Retriever). Luke took Ziggy under his wings for a week at his beautiful home which is clean, tidy & cosy; he went ABOVE & BEYOND to ensure our boy was safe, well stimulated, cleaned, loved & entertained with his own Golden Retriever, Cody. (who is SUCH a lovely natured & playful GR). My mother in law popped by to say hello mid week and she absolutely loved Luke & his GF too - they were so accommodating & clearly genuinely lovely, kind people. Daily photos & videos were in full swing which I found very reassuring that our GR was really happy & in such good hands - it's honestly a shame we had to bring him home as he was clearly having THE BEST time with Luke, his GF & Cody. I joked about our dog having a GR retreat for a week and he certainly did. He occupied him with snuffle mats, licky mats, plenty of playful & even bough him a very cute golden retriever teddy which melted our hearts when we saw our boy with it when he returned. Luke not only took him on what looked to be the most wonderful woodland walks but he also managed to get Ziggy in his bathtub - which we have never been able to achieve! Mega chuffed with that! He cleaned him everyday after the muddiest of walks and Ziggy looked so comfortable and happy in his care as I could see huge smiles on Ziggys face in every single photo. The photos he sent were also brilliant, Luke captured the most intimate & playful moments of our dogs together, I can imagine Luke raking in the cash as a candid dog photographer. He really did everything and more that I could have wished for to ensure Ziggy was happy & healthy and for that, I am so grateful. To commend Luke further - he gave us a digital and hard copy of an illustration of Ziggy which is flipping fantastic, another string to add to his bow. Really, if you're looking at booking, do it immediately because I don't think there is anyone better suited. We 100% trust Luke & his GF & will absolutely use them again in the future and know Ziggy will lose his mind when he sees them all again :D Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! XXX!”

“Amazing! I am very picky when it comes to who takes care of my boy - and I am super thrilled to have found Megan xx she updated me throughout the day and has a very positive and loving attitude towards my boy Edgar. She even cleaned my living room and kitchen !!! I would recommend Megan to anyone that’s unsure whether or not to book a sitter xx This was my first time leaving Edgar with someone else in my own home and I will do it again in a heartbeat xx”

About: I have taken care of dogs whole my life. I used to own two huskies, then mainly Labradors which are the love of my life. I am certified Dog Trainer. I am also certified in Canine First Aid Level 2(VTQ) which I believe is essential if you work with dogs. I am at home 24/7 therefore you can bring your pets any time you like. You just need to call me to arrange our meeting. My home is very secure, clean, and I do have a big garden where dogs can play, run. I also have dog crates in case they are needed.

About: I’ve personally cared for dogs through pregnancy, birth, and raising puppies—so I know how to handle everything from high-energy pups to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. My care goes beyond feeding and walking; it’s about tuning into each animal’s unique personality and needs, just like I would with my own. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine—it’s not a task, it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet cuddles, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. For house sitting, I maintain the pet’s regular routine in the comfort of their own home—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles—while also keeping the home clean, secure, and cared for. With doggy day care, I offer a fun, engaging, and safe space where dogs can socialise, rest, and enjoy a day that balances stimulation and comfort. During walks, I make sure each dog gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and sniff-time they love, while staying attentive to their pace, behavior, and safety.
