“Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰”
“Paige has been an absolute superstar with Cheddar and Skittle. The fact that they warmed to her so quickly is a testament to her kind and gentle nature, she truly understood their personalities and tended to their individual needs. We didn’t worry about them once and her detailed pet cards were both a source of entertainment and a much needed source of relief being away from our pets! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything Paige! Xx”
About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.
About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!
“Our first cat-sitting experience and we are so pleased Elizabeth picked us. Phoenix was very well looked after and he is happy. We cannot recommend Elizabeth enough for all her patience, efficiency, hard-work and dedication.”
“Very happy with Neoma, my cat Henry is very anxious and scared of new people, told her that she prob wouldn’t see him much and just to put his food down etc but she sent me pics on the first day of her fussing him, he took to her straight away, I got regular updates, wasn’t worried about him at all while I was away, can definitely recommend”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash training and reinforcing good manners through positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and body language, making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I aim to keep pets relaxed and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits around my weekly college schedule, which I attend four days a week, plus one day of work experience at a doggy daycare. I’m used to structured routines and being around animals every day. Outside of those hours, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends. My experience at a busy daycare has made me confident managing different personalities, keeping pets safe, and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection whenever I’m with them. I’m also happy to be contacted about caring for other types of pets, including reptiles and small animals. Safety is always my top priority. I’ve done work experience in a veterinary clinic for 4 years, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all temperaments and have a good understanding of their health and behavior. I’m able to notice early signs of stress or illness and handle situations calmly if anything seems off. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. I’m careful about unsafe foods or objects and always aim to keep things calm and clean. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“My pet care wasn't standard, as it involved cats and my rats. This sitter overcame her own fear of rodents and took wonderful care of them. The animals weren't stressed, and the sitter respected the cats' avoidance of contact. Interestingly, the rats were eager to play, which is a good sign, as they're usually wary. Cats and dogs can easily be bribed with treats, but rodents are impossible, and for me, that confirms that I made a good choice in sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Angela, a caring and reliable pet lover with hands-on experience looking after dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the past 3 years, I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: two older boys—a Chihuahua and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—who needed gentle attention, patience, and help with medication, and a lively Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy full of energy. This has made me confident with both senior dogs with specific needs and younger, more active ones. I always treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, whether that means sticking to specific diets, administering medication, or providing the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest. I mainly work from home with one or two days in the office, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. At the moment, there are no pets in my home, so your dog or cat will have my full attention. I also have a small garden, which is perfect for some fresh air and safe outdoor time. I’m happy to care for cats as well, making sure they feel calm, relaxed, and well looked after in a peaceful environment. I truly enjoy the companionship pets bring, and I’d love to spend time caring for yours—giving them the same love and attention I always have. I work mainly from home, And I have flexible job. Which helps me to accommodate your pet needs. I will be staying in the house with your pet and when they need walking there are few parks around where they can be free to run. I have a fenced small garden, and a conservatory where dogs normally loves to stay as it is sunny, the place is spacious and it has hosted previously 3 dogs.

I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day.

However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Very pleased with Demmi’s care and communication. We were apprehensive about having someone to look after our large Vizsla as they are high energy dogs but she did a fantastic job. Will be using her in future!”
“Sarah was incredibly responsive and very well prepared. She sent updates about the pet everyday and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would 100% recommend Sarah if you require a pet sitter :)”

I couldn't be happier with the care provided for my two cats. From the very beginning, Laura was reliable, professional, and clearly love animals. Laura kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned, and it was obvious they had received plenty of attention and affection. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry babies Laura xx

Dawn was fantastic as a cat sitter. Dawn is great at communicating and following up on emails and booking, she is reliable and comes at the time agreed, she sent pics of Marvin and let me know how he was doing regularly and she will do little extras like picking up post and closing the curtains when asked. Moreover she left the kitchen and Marvin’s dishes clean and tidy. I would absolutely rebook Dawn for as long as she is a cat sitter. Thank you Dawn.
Shelley wowed us! We couldn’t have chose a better person to look after our cats. Shelley is the most loving, attentive and caring person and the boys were incredibly looked after. Communication was fantastic and we never had a concern. We knew our boys were always okay. We can’t thank her enough.
Kayleigh was fantastic from start to finish Her communication was brilliant and it was easy to setup a meet and greet, where we could tell she loved all pets and was a very kind, genuine person During the visits Kayleigh provided brilliant updates each day detailing what she had done during the visit and how our cat was doing which gave us peace of mind, she also included lots of photos which was nice! Our cat is usually very shy around new people but it seems she took a real liking to Kayleigh We would highly recommend and will definitely be using Kayleigh again
Tia took brilliant care of our cat, fed her, played with her and sent over pictures of the visit. Our cat doesn’t usually take to newcomers but you can tell Tia is good at what she does, the cat loved her. Will be booking again and would recommend to anyone.
