“Victoria saved the day with a last minute dog care! She took Ace out for a walk, took the time to play with him after and sent pictures of their time together. What a great service Victoria provides!”

About: I am a fully insured and qualified professional, having studied animal management level 3. During my studies, I gained experience walking, caring for and training dogs and various other animals. I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and have experience with animals needing medication, specialised care and anxiety. I have two cats myself, and have experience with birds, rabbits, small pets like hamsters and many other animals. I am currently available weekdays as well as weekends so have plenty of time to look after animals as well as check up on them I have experience with different animals and many different needs that they may have and am able to adjust well and see what they may need at anytime.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all sizes, so being around animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had multiple pets growing up and am very comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on many occasions, looking after dogs and other animals in their homes and making sure they are well cared for and settled. I’m confident, calm, and tend to be the first person to approach and connect with an animal, even if they are shy or unsure. My focus is always on building trust, keeping routines consistent, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine as I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility and time throughout the day. I’m available for walks during the day, as well as drop-ins, and I can offer boarding any day of the week. Having a flexible schedule means I can give dogs consistent attention, regular exercise, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels safe and settled. I take time to understand their feeding, walking, and comfort needs, and always prioritise calm, attentive care. I’m very respectful of others homes. I make sure things are left clean and tidy, including food areas, floors after walks, and any mess that may happen during the day. I’m mindful of keeping doors, gates, and any house rules exactly as requested, and I always ensure everything is secure and as I found it before leaving. My aim is for both the pet and owner to come home to a calm, clean, and well-cared-for space.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and frequently look after friend’s and family dogs. I love long walks and making sure that the dogs get sufficient exercise. 🐶💫 I am offering dog care at weekends only, as this is when I am not working and can give the dog all of the attention they deserve 💓 We have a fenced back garden for the dogs to play in and locally live near lots of great places walks with open spaces for them to run free.

About: I’ve had spaniels the best part of my life, currently sharing a house with a 2 year old sprocker called Mylo. Firefighters as my full time job so have a good amount of time to take dogs for walks when on my days off! I work a 2-2-4 pattern, so 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off, so have ample time to fit in dog walks around my shift pattern. Fully enclosed large garden for dogs to play in, am able to walk dogs alongside my spaniel Mylo. Happy to keep on lead if that is what the owner requests.

“Lucy has been wonderful. She is always responsive and reliable, and looked after our dog wonderfully. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and will no doubt book her again in the future. Thanks Lucy.”

About: With lots of hands on experience caring for animals after many years of pet ownership! From owning pets at the age of three, to looking after loved ones' pets and working in wildlife conservation - I am a huge animal lover and have spent nearly my whole life surrounded by them! My experience mostly lies with dogs, cats and rabbits - but also varies from sea turtles to other marine animals! In my background, I have developed a strong knowledge and understanding of animals and their needs. I know how important it is to provide them with attention, companionship, exercise and, most importantly, safety! I am familiar with caring for pets - including feeding, walking, administering basic care, maintaining routines and ensuring they feel comfortable and happy. I am currently a Marine Biology student, who loves nature/animals and will be living at home over the summer, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and provide them with bespoke care! At my home, I have a front gate/porch and a fenced back garden to keep your fur baby safe and secure. Also, I can easily crate your pet if necessary. I do not have any other pets or children present in my home environment, nor is it a busy setting with lots of activity or high noise levels. I believe clear communication is key, as I am aware that each pet is unique and has individual requirements, alongside every owner having personal preferences. I will always do my very best to provide the top level of care for your pet.

About: I provide a calm, comforting and loving environment for your dogs! We have two resident dogs (spaniels) but have an enough space to keep the dogs separate if needed. There are no children, cats or other pets in the home. Most importantly we give plenty of cuddles! Your dog will be well looked after alongside our two dogs. We go for daily walks and if I do need to pop out they are never left for long. If dogs cannot be left alone at all then we can usually accommodate for this. It’s just me and my partner, we live in a detached home with a secure garden in a quiet village. We are happy to provide a home-from-home experience so your dog feels relaxed. Although our own dogs are friendly, they will not be left alone with visiting dogs and they are always fed and sleep separately.

About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .

About: I truly love animals and treat every fur baby like family, with patience, reliability, and close attention to their routine. Occasionally, I’ve had to take close one’s fur babies for vet care, and trips on my scooter bike. I’m currently working from home so pet care can easily fit into my daily routine, with regular walks, attention and timely meals. Cuddle time or playtime My goal is to keep it as normal and stress free for the pets. With a fenced house, your pet will have a safe space to play and relax. I’m able to follow their usual routine and accommodate any special care as needed.

About: I have a beautiful Labradoodle named Otto and have been caring for dogs since I was young. I work from home Wednesday through Friday, and with a spacious, secure garden, my home is the perfect environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home Wednesday to Friday and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be highly flexible and available to help whenever needed. I have a beautiful big garden that’s safe and secure which is perfect for lots of time in the garden. I also have a tiled porch, which is great for the hotter days.

About: I’ve always taken care of the pets of my friends, family and neighbours and have recently been using the borrow-my-doggy app to help look after the dogs of locals on a volunteering basis. This has included walking the dogs and having them overnight, with one client saying she teared up because of how helpful I was! I currently have no fixed working hours, so I am completely flexible! I can be a morning person or night owl depending on your pet, in order to adapt to their schedule in the most convenient way possible for you and them. I have a spacious area with 3 rooms and an open plan layout as well as stairs to allow your pet space to roam and run free, before heading out to the many amazing walking areas right in front of the gated property I live in. I have dog toys from when I looked after previous dogs and food/water bowls suitable for both dogs and cats. There’s never anything sharp or dangerous or in the way on the tidy floor of my house, making it the perfect place for your pet to roll around or play-fight, or just to rest after we’ve walked, played, cuddled, trained.. whatever your pet wants:)

About: Have been around dogs since I could walk.......took my first dog to obedience when I was 4.....have walked f/ fed and checken or freinds and families pets since I was in my teens. I currently work part-time my visits won't be rushed, I will have time to ensure you pet is safe and well, will have time to play and interact with your pet and happy to do those later hours then shift workers may need cover for Will make sure you pet is safe and well, has food and water, receives any medication needed, as directed by you and has access to to the garden or other space, as directed by you

About: We didn’t just adopt a dog—we welcomed a quiet, gentle soul into our home. Our rescue greyhound called teddy arrived with cautious eyes as if the world was still something to be figured out. Now teddy has his favourite sunny spot, his funny sleeping positions, and his little bursts of playful energy that catch us by surprise. Ted has gone from unsure and afraid of the world to completely at ease, and in doing so, hes changed our home too. It’s warmer, calmer, fuller. Watching Teddy learn to trust has been the most rewarding part. The first tail wag when we came home, the first time he leaned into us for affection, the moment he chose to rest his head on our lap—each small step felt like a milestone. It’s a reminder of how resilience and kindness can transform a dogs life so much . We have had teddy for 5 years now and he is a completely different dog displaying such confidence and joy in everything he does I am currently studying from home therefore your pet will be my top priority and i will have plenty of time to take care and play with them . I will always make sure your pet is in a comfortable and safe situation. I have an anxious dog myself and i know how to keep them calm on walks and avoid other dogs . I am experienced when it comes to identifying the signs of a dog feeling threatened or scared by other dogs making me the perfect protector for your pet.

“Couldn't have been more pleased. Julie and John were excellent and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. It was also great that they left an end of day sheet to let us know what had happened during the day with our girls.”

About: We have had dogs our whole life. We absolutely love them, and we also have a 5 years old rescue English Bulldog who is amazing I work fully remote so always at home, your dog would never be left alone. My partner he will also works from home on occasionally. We have a fenced garden and little fur baby to keep your fur baby company. Open plan downstairs so always supervised. Lots of cuddles also. Unfortunately we can only take dogs that have been neutered or spade.

About: I know dogs well and can handle all and any, however as I have a small child now I only accept well behaved dogs, easy to walk and dogs that will get along with my dog. I’ll treat your dog as if he/she were my own - with lots of love and care and the occasional sneaky sprat. We have an acre of land your dog(s) can run around and play with my dog Jett and some fantastic walks nearby that we do at least twice a day. I am currently not working and am a stay at home mother to my dog and child, we spend most days pottering around the garden and enjoying the outdoors. We have a fenced off acre of land where dogs can run around freely at their own leisure. On a cold day we would go for a walk in the woods and then cozy up by the fire to warm up.

About: My pet care experience comes from family and friends dog as well as always growing up with our own family dogs - our current one I still look after regularly when my parents need. Taking care of a pet requires daily responsibility, patience, and genuine love. From feeding and grooming to regular exercise and play time, every task plays an important role in keeping a pet healthy and happy. I have learned to understand different behaviors, recognize signs of discomfort, and respond with care and attention. I also have experience with a range of ages, from looking after our previous dog during lockdown who was 13 and started to need a bit of extra care, to our current dog whom I trained from an 8 week old pup! I did grow up in a big dog only household but comfortable with all sizes! I currently work full time in the week, but my work does flexi time so I can come home during work hours, have shorter days or just take days off whenever needed. Along with this I have the space to set up a work from home area if required. I have a fully enclosed back garden making it safe for dogs to go out whenever they'd like. Along with this I can also crate your dog if required. Happy to discuss any other additional things that you feel may be required to keep them safe!

“Matt is personable, reliable & trustworthy & our dog Bella took to him immediately. I would recommend him as a walker or sitter, your pet will be in safe hands!”
