“Absolutely outstanding service, Can’t recommend Nicola highly enough. Sat with my dogs whilst I celebrated my 50th birthday, really allowed me to enjoy my party without worrying about them. So accommodating to my needs. Will definitely be booking again with Nicola in the future x”

“Great experience with Sarah. She was responsive, arrived promptly, carefully listened to all instructions. And Hank clearly had a great time getting all the cuddles and fusses! Will be booking again”

“Great communication and looked after our Bichon perfectly. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Sent us lots of pictures and was reliable and trustworthy. Gave out little boy lots of love and cuddles. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Kept the house clean and tidy and was very respectful.”

“We were unsure about leaving our Bob with anyone due to his reactivity, but Morgan put us at ease straight away. He had a fabulous time with her and we couldn’t be more grateful.”


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: I have have been around dogs since I was born, I bought my own dog when I was 18, she is 13 now and lives with my parents. I have dog walked for family and friends and taken care of friends dogs while they are away. I work 8 - 4 Mon - Fri so have time for dog walking in the evening and weekends. This also means I am available for boarding and doggy day care. I work from home one day a week so only really available for boarding over a weekend. We have a fully fenced in out door space. We have plenty of room inside for crates if required. We live on a quiet road but would never leave the dog unattended if the front door was every open. We are also right near Stamford park which is a great spot for a local walk. I live with my Fiance Harry. I will take care of the dogs but he is happy to provide cuddles and join in with play time.
“Kate did an amazing job with my elderly German Shepherd Mac. They got on great from the start, and she also administered his medication. Kate looked after my house and I’d have no hesitation booking her again!”

About: I have been an owner to my Chihuahua x Jack Russell for 10 years and she is very well looked after. I often care for my neighbours pets when they are on holiday and I am very trustworthy and reliable. I am very attentive and like to spend time with animals. I have also had experience of living with Rottweilers when I was younger. I currently work 9-5, but I do have capacity in the mornings to visit homes to feed the pets/let them outside for a while. I do not have many commitments in the evenings so I can stay with the pets for a while in the evenings so that they have company and feel comfortable. I am very attentive so I will ensure that the pets are safe in the garden. I am very loving so I would like to make sure that the pets are comfortable given they are usually used to have their family around them.
“Maxine did an excellent job for us when we were away from our two golden retrievers. The boys were very happy and tired from being walked and well looked after. Would absolutely book Maxine again!”

About: Always taken care of dogs growing up was a foster carer for dogs and rescued many over the years! Would love to continue meeting new paws I work 2 nights a week for the ambulance service and my partner works full time from home so they would always be someone home.

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence that helps pets feel safe and at ease. For years I’ve helped friends and family with their dogs and cats, including regular walks, feeding routines, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m naturally attentive and detail-focused, which means I follow instructions closely and keep both your pet and your home exactly as you’d want them. Pets who are shy, anxious, or sensitive tend to warm to me quickly because I’m patient, gentle, and never rush interactions. I’m also very respectful of your space — clean, tidy, and considerate — so you can return home knowing everything has been cared for properly. Whether it’s maintaining a pet’s routine, supporting older or more relaxed pets, or simply providing steady companionship, I take the responsibility seriously and always make sure pets feel secure, calm, and well looked after. I’m currently transitioning out of full-time employment and moving toward self-employment, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility throughout the week for pet care. This allows me to plan my days around the needs of the pets I look after, whether that’s regular walks, drop-ins, or longer house-sitting stays. Because I’m not tied to a fixed work schedule, I can give pets my full attention and maintain their routines without rushing. I’m able to offer consistent companionship, timely walks, and reliable check-ins, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or daytime requests. Building my self-employed routine around caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. It’s a calm, grounding part of my day and a responsibility I take seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful and attentive to the details that matter most. I always follow your routines closely (feeding times, walk schedules, house rules, and any specific instructions you rely on) to keep your pet happy and settled. I take time to understand your pet’s temperament, comfort levels, and favourite activities so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m very clean and considerate in your space: I tidy up after myself, keep things organised, and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it. During walks and outdoor time, I’m responsible and safety-focused, always keeping your pet secure and cleaning up properly. Whether I’m making sure your pet gets plenty of company, providing quiet reassurance, or sticking to the small routines that make them feel at home, I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and reliable attention.
“Kirsten looked after Archie for two weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I was completely relaxed throughout the time, knowing Archie was being cared for as if he was her own - we received regular updates also. Will definitely be booking Kirsten again :) xx”

About: What sets me apart is my formal education in zoology combined with hands-on experience in the animal sector. I understand animal behavior, body language, and welfare on a deeper level than the average sitter, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, knowledgeable, and calm in a variety of situations—whether that’s caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, or pets that need a little extra patience and understanding. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and engaging with your dog throughout the day. Attentive, hands-on care for your beloved pet. I aim to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure (your dog’s home away from home). My background in zoology and animal care means I’m confident reading behaviour, managing routines, and prioritising welfare at all times. I follow care instructions closely, maintain consistent boundaries, and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first, treating them with the same care and respect I would my own.
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
About: Hey, I’m Jesse. I’m a qualified veterinary nurse with a big love for animals of all shapes and sizes. At home, I’m kept busy (and entertained!) by my three cats and one dog, so I know just how much our furry friends mean to us. 🐶🐱 With my background in veterinary care, I’m skilled in giving medications and caring for chronically ill and senior pets, so you can feel confident your dog is in safe hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their special care routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. ✨ Compassionate care + professional experience = peace of mind for you and your pet! ✨ My work patterns fluctuate week to week so please don’t hesitate to contact me with your needs and I will see if I can accommodate them :) I understand how important it is to know your pet is looked after, safe and well! I can promise you the upmost care and kindness toward your loved one.
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
About: Loving Care for Your Pup. Walks, Play, and Snuggles When You Can’t Be There! 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 my work is flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they require. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and daily habits to minimize stress. I make sure they get lots of companionship, exercise, and affection, while keeping their home tidy and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

I highly recommend Kate who looked after our whippet tonight. From start to finish her communication and care were excellent and felt in safe hands. My dog was so happy with her when I came home he hardly moved to greet me. I think that's a good sign 😀 would definitely book again.

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 !

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!

Jade looked after Ozzy whilst we were out for the day. She sent lots of updates and pics and it was great to know Oz was well cared for in our absence. She even brought our Hello Fresh in and put it away for us, as well as feed our cats! Brilliant service and I wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you so much!
