“We would like to thank Mark and his two lovely dogs Sid and Silver for welcoming Alfie into their home for the weekend. Alfie had an amazing time and settled in really well. Alfie is getting on a bit now and can find it difficult settling in new surroundings but Mark ensured he knew as much about him to make sure his time there was comfortable. He even offered to meet for a pre-stay dog walk so that Alfie could meet his dogs. The daily updates with photos and videos ensured that our minds were at ease. We would love Alfie to stay with Mark and his dogs in the future.”


“Stephen is a lovely man and welcomed Dolly into his home with open arms and her day was filled with fun things going to the beach and long walks . I would recommend Stephen to my doggie friends as Dolly came home very relaxed and happy and as I received lots of pics throughout the day I was relaxed knowing that Dolly was being very well looked after 10/10”

“Jolene was absolutely brilliant with our dog BoJack. From the moment we arrived to drop him off, she made us feel totally at ease – really friendly and welcoming. She sent us a few photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated, and it seemed like BoJack had a lovely time with her family. We’d have no hesitation using Jolene as a sitter again – highly recommended!”


About: I’ve always had dogs and other furry friends and now I have my own dog, who I rescued from Romania. My dog will likely join us on walks and he is friendly with other dogs. If this is not suitable for your dog, then he will not come. Happy to continue with your training - practice loose lead walking/recall if required. Otherwise your dog can have lots of fun running, playing ball or sniffing to their hearts content. I am available most evenings and weekends. I’m unavailable on Wednesdays, however I might be able to do other days when I work from home. Whilst your pet is in my care I will tend for them as my own! Happy to meet and greet before booking to introduce ourselves.

“Rosi looked after our dog Huxley recently. He got on really well with her and was so excited to see her again. She was lovely to communicate with and very accommodating. Excellent communication and loved the updates on how he was settling in along with great pics. Really looking forward to using Rosi in the future and we can highly recommend!”

About: I’m not just here to “walk and feed” I provide the same love, attention, and care I give to my own pets. With hands-on experience in animal welfare, rescue work, and handling a wide variety of animals (including dogs, cats, birds, and small pets), I know how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in it’s built into my daily life. Every week, I dedicate time for walks, visits, and overnight stays so I can give each pet my full attention. My flexible schedule means I can adapt to early mornings, evenings, or weekends, and I plan my days around my bookings so pets aren’t rushed and routines stay consistent. Whether it’s a lunchtime walk, a morning cuddle visit, or a week long house sit, I make sure your pets are my priority from the moment I step through the door to the moment I leave. Your pets and your home are in safe hands with me. I’m DBS checked, insured and have a pet first aid course. treat every booking with the same care and respect I give to my own pets and space. I follow your routines closely, from feeding times to walk routes, so pets feel secure and happy in their familiar surroundings. For walks, I use secure leads, well-fitted harnesses, and avoid risky situations with unknown dogs or unsafe areas. I’m always alert to signs of stress or discomfort, and I adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs whether that’s giving a nervous dog extra space or adding more playtime for an energetic pup. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your privacy and security. I keep doors locked, only use agreed areas, and send regular photo updates so you can see your pets are safe and content. Because for me, it’s not just about walking or feeding it’s about giving owners complete peace of mind while their pets get genuine love and care. 🐾
