About: I am a big animal lover and have had a rescue dog for 9 years where I have done behaviour training and helped her to socialise. I have also looked after several of my friends dogs regularly who all feel trust and reassurance that they will be well looked after. I have been volunteering at a dog rescue shelter for over 12 years too including doing inductions to new volunteers, dog walking and playing with dogs in the exercise yards, and experience with all types of dogs including reactive, nervous and senior dogs. I am honest, reliable, flexible and adaptable and am often free during the week including weekends and evenings so try to be available to meet your needs and help out when I can. I offer a pre-meet and greet and listen to your pets needs so they will be well looked after. I will look after your animal with care, food, medication, love and exercise requests, and follow instructions. I will send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind and reassurance. I am fully understandable of rescue, nervous and senior dogs and am DBS checked.

“Definitely recommend, Morgan has been great!! Buddy is usually a little nervous at first meeting new people but Morgan knew exactly how to treat him and I can tell he loved every second of Morgan’s company and walks :) thank you so much”


“This was our first time leaving Beans with someone else and we were a bit nervous as she can have some separation anxiety but Emma put our minds right at ease! She sent lots of updates, asked lots of questions beforehand and was so reassuring. Beans warmed to her immediately and had a lovely day. Would definitely recommend and hope to book with her again!”


About: My experience with fostering pets started several years ago, when my friend found a 1-month-old kitten on the street and rescued it, but was unable to keep it in her home, so she asked me to foster until we find him a permanent home. I named the little guy Simba (original, I know!) and took care of him for 3 months before finding him a permanent, loving home. Since then, I have been housesitting dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I am studying remotely at Open University, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets, cuddle them and take them for walks. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I start by learning all about their needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and familiar. I also give them lots of love, attention, and affection, always respecting their personality—whether they’re shy and quiet or playful and energetic. I’ll regularly update you with photos and messages, so you know your pet is in great hands while you're away.

About: I’ve taken can of lots of different pets all my life ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and more. I’m very passionate about pet care and I pride myself on ensuring they receive the best care possible. I’m experienced with dogs and cats from being just born right up until the end of their lives so I am aware on any extra needs that come with age. I am currently a full time university student who has a very flexible schedule as I can take my work anywhere with me. I also have a part time job where I usually do two five hour shifts a week so overall I am quite flexible with my time. I am very capable of reading dogs body language and knowing how to de escalate any unexpected situations when on a walk. When pet sitting at the owners house I am also sure to keep any doors and gates closed to prevent pets from getting out.

“Robert was utterly wonderful - came to meet Winston before the booking and they weee immediately firm friends. Robert is thorough, caring, has brilliant communication and was wonderful when taking care of Winston and they became best friends in no time. Would recommend Robert in a heartbeat”


“Caitlin did such a good job looking after my dog, Teddy. She looked after him for 3 days/nights in my home. The house was clean and tidy on my return and Teddy was very happy and content. It is the first time I have left him with someone as I was very anxious that he would miss me too much but I needn’t have worried. I don’t think he gave me one though! I will definitely be using Caitlin again.”


“we never left Dexter with someone we don't know, Iliana was the first and took us by big surprise! So caring, loving and very professional at the same time. Dexter felt that from the time they met. We had a lot of videos and photo’s every day while on our travels. We can’t thank her enough for taking brilliant care after Dexter. Highly recommended! Thank you for loving and professional care.”


About: My house will be your pets home away from home. I have had experience with animals my whole life, I am very much an animal lover. I will make sure they are happy and safe when they stay with me with plenty at fun and fuss. I don’t think any dogs are “unmanageable” just misunderstood as all have different needs you just need the patience to get to know them. My family and friends have always had dogs and I have always been the go to babysitter and trainer to teach them tricks and commands; therefore, i am happy to be that person to help with the care of your little ones too. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I work from home 4/5 days a week and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they require. I have plenty of comfy places for your pet to chill and relax but also play safely. Also, my flat is located on a quite collude-sack tucked away from any busy streets or roads for them to enjoy outside time on or off leash- depending on your preferences. I have a safe environment with all rooms safe for you little friends to enjoy their time with me and be safe.

“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”


About: Hi, I’m Jake, a lifelong dog lover with a deep passion for canine care and training. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and I genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else! My journey started with Toby, a wonderful Staffie and since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities. I have a particular soft spot for big breeds; German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Dalmatians are among my favorites but I love working with all dogs, whether they’re energetic puppies, laid-back seniors or anything in between. No matter their size or temperament, I’ll treat your pup as if they were my own. Beyond caring for dogs, I’m also passionate about training. I believe every dog deserves the chance to learn, grow, and build confidence. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, teaching fun tricks, or providing structured exercise, I’m happy to incorporate training into our time together. Services I Offer: 🐾 Drop-In Visits – Need someone to check in on your pup? I’ll make sure they’re fed, hydrated, exercised and given plenty of attention while you’re away. 🐾 Dog Walks – Whether your dog needs a short walk or a long adventure, I’ll ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. 🐾 Pet Sitting – If you need someone to stay with your dog for a few hours, overnight or longer, I’ll be there to provide care, company and of course endless belly rubs! 🐾 Training Support – I can incorporate training into walks or visits, reinforcing good behavior and helping your pup learn new skills. I hold a level 3 certificate in pet first aid and DBS checked I'm currently in between jobs so pet care fits perfectly as I have an almost completely free schedule, meaning I am avaliable Monday - Sunday morning and evenings. Regardless of wether I am sitting in my own home or a pet owners home I will treat the property and pets as my own. I will stick to any requested feeding schedule, ensure pets have the required physical and mental stimulation ensure and provide lots of cuddles!

About: I have had dogs for 20 years and have had 3 and taken care of around 40 puppies over the years who have all go on to new families. I work 8:30-4 Monday to Friday but will walk twice a day and will show them a lot of love. I play rugby on Saturday 1-4 i also do long walks on a Sunday. Not house sitting at my house so this is un important but still makes me write 25 words which is a bit silly isn't it

“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with someone and I must say we are absolutely impressed with Megan! She has put us at ease from the very start! We had 2 meet and greet meetings before the house sitting and Megan took her time to learn about dogs routine. She has done everything we've asked and more. Megan has done a fabulous job especially that one of our dogs is really introverted. She has even organised a little hidden treat play in the garden for our doggies to make sure they are stimulated and not bored. She.also kept in touch with us sending updates and videos and pictures every day :) kept in touch all the time. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we will be using her in the future for all our holidays! Thank you Megan for making this a positive experience, both for us and our dogs :)”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats/reptiles since being a teenager. I until recently worked at a doggy daycare I worked there for 3 years, working with dogs big/small/reactive/anxious. I am confident when walking dogs. Animals are my passion & for the past few months I started my own dog walking/pet sitting business called Canine Cosy Club (you can find my page on Facebook,Instagram & TikTok) with plenty of reviews, pictures & updates. Caring for pets has become my number one passion & goal. Your pet/s daily/weekly routine will be my routine. If they can be left that’s fine if not I am happy to stay with them for the whole sit. I enjoy taking your dog/s on adventures & dog suitable trips out if that is suitable for you dog/s needs (beach, dog friendly cafe, secure fields etc) all included in the price no extra cost. You will also be able to feel like you are on our adventure with us as I send lots of pictures & updates I would be sitting pets within their own homes. I would keep them safe by watching them throughout their everyday activities, crating (if dog is crated) during times they may be on their own or at risk of eating/chewing anything that may harm them. Watching the dog on walks & ensuring that I follow guidance/details passed to myself by owners (if the dog is on or off lead, reactive etc)

About: owner of a yorkie (Jake) we both love adventures, maybe sometimes a little run in the park. I can accommodate to all kinds of doggos as I already walk a size range of dogs for friends and family dogs during holiday breaks😊. I currently work full time 9-6 weekdays but looking to walk your fluffy friend anytime after (work from home so need daily exercise too 🥹) Available on Weekends anytime I make sure our fluffy friend always has water, treats and lots of fun during their walk, if extras are needed, just let me know. 👋

About: I’ve had dogs isnt I was a little girl I’d go out regularly to walk and train my dogs. I have a dog right now and I also have an animal management degree I can understand animal body language and i produce a understanding caring environment for all animals I feed my dog once at 7am and again at 6pm I walk him 3 times a dog and I feed my snails & hamster at their set schedule I get home from work at 4pm so plenty of time to play and relax I’ll be looking at times after 5pm and any time on weekends after Christmas I’ll have plenty of time to walk and mind dogs any time during the day I start with asking pet owners to leave their pets in a room so they can’t run out the door when I come in that sets boundaries and a safe place for your animals as they won’t yet be used to me coming in and might be more cautious. I top up food and water after a walk and I make sure they don’t need any more bathroom breaks before I leave
