About: I have owned a variety of breeds of dogs from small border terriers to labradors. I have always been on hand to help out family and friends with dog/cat care and house sitting when needed! I am currently employed full-time with some flexibility to work remotely (Office Hours 8-4). I will always be happy to help where I cam when available!

“Oscar was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog Caleb and cat Stella while I was away. He had been walking Caleb for a while before the stay so they could bond. Caleb is very overreactive so not easy to handle but Oscar knew exactly how to calm him. Oscar sent pictures and updated me while I was away which was great and reassuring. Caleb and Stella absolutely adore him , we feel very lucky to have found such a lovely pet sitter and will continue booking him for dog walking duties . Thank you Oscar , you are a star”

“Thank you so much for taking excellent care of our two doggos. You kindly kept us updated everyday and messaged back quickly when I wanted to check how Peggy and Albie were doing. You went the extra mile and were so thoughtful through the hot weather. You also took amazing care of our house and was wonderfully clean when we got back from our holiday. We would highly recommend you as a dog sitter. Thanks so much.”

“Maria was a delight from start to finish. From our initial video call she instilled us with confidence and she never let this slip. She kept us up to date at just the right intervals with reassuring messages and photos and was ultra respectful of our house (including an overnight stay). We came back the following day to find a very happy hound and that is exactly what we hoped for. Will have no hesitation in booking Maria again, if she’s available - she’s great!”

About: From a young age I have been asked to care for animals in families I’ve known, in the past couple of years I have developed that into housesitting, looking after animals from horses to dogs and I am happy to adapt to any task at hand. I recently looked after a puppy which obviously requires a heavy routine so any special attention that your animal needs, I am happy to deliver! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for. A university student so am home for the summer meaning I have plenty of time to look after your animal with great attention to detail and care to my best ability Able to ensure any safety measures you have applied in your home to be continued whilst you are away. Any tips from yourself would also be helpful!

“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and to me, they’re more than pets—they’re family. My best friend growing up was Mikey, a lovable West Highland Terrier who stole everyone’s heart. After he passed, I realized just how special the bond between a dog and their human really is. That inspired me to help others feel confident leaving their furry friends in good hands. With years of experience, you’re not just getting someone who knows dogs—you’re getting someone who loves them. I’ve successfully trained all my own pups and taken part in multiple K-9 training sessions, which gave me the skills (and patience!) to guide pups of all personalities. I’m all about trust, care, and making sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and loved—just like they deserve. I work full-time in IT and have a predictable 9-5 schedule, making it easy to plan ahead and provide dependable care for your dog. I'm a friendly, active person who loves spending time with animals, and I'll treat your pup as if they were my own. With my flexible schedule and commitment to communication, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands and having a great time while you're away. Hi there! I’m a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely pet-loving individual with years of hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve never run into a single issue—just happy pets and even happier owners! I believe communication is key, so I always send regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You’ll always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for—and your home is in good hands too. Cleanliness is super important to me (my flat is always spotless—dust doesn’t stand a chance!), and I bring that same level of care and respect into your home. I also offer flexible pet-sitting packages to fit your schedule and needs—whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime while you’re at work. Let’s find the perfect setup for you and your furry friend!

“Hannah was absolutely brilliant and our dog Zuco loved her. Zuco isn’t always the easiest to look after as he is a very anxious rescue dog but Hannah seemed to take it all in her stride.”

About: Having had dogs in the family since I was a child and having my own for the past 12 years, I have always loved taking care of them. I have looked after all sorts of breeds, over the years, big and small, and love them all. I am Dog First Aid Trained and have looked after dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a full time dog walker and sitter and have availability for new dogs. All sitting is currently done within the owners own home. I like to keep dogs in their normal routine, as much as possible. With it being good to mix up their walks in different places, I will always stick to owners recommendations and discuss and changes in advance.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend! We had the absolute best experience with Mandy, who looked after our black Labrador, Gunner, for a week while we were away. From the very first day, it was clear that Gunner was in the most caring and capable hands. Mandy truly spoiled him with multiple walks each day, endless affection, and even surprised him with a new toy that quickly became his favorite! She went above and beyond by sending us daily photos and videos, which brought us so much joy and peace of mind during our holiday. Seeing how happy and relaxed Gunner was made it easy to fully enjoy our time away, knowing he was being loved and cared for just like he would be at home. We can’t thank Mandy enough for treating Gunner like part of her family. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated dog sitter.”

“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats across the world! I lived in a London house with gorgeous Milo who I would walk, feed and love! In November I stayed in Norway for two weeks and looked after a beautiful purr-machine cat called Batman, and I recently house-sat for the most energetic black Labrador Otto in Suffolk for two weeks! I would love my own dog but can’t reasonably get one yet so I would love to walk a dog regularly and spend time together!

I can offer dog walks and house sitting! I of course give lots of walks, feeding, fuss, love and affection. I have house/dog sat for lots of people and want to look after your space as much as your dog!

We allow pets on the furniture and bed regardless of how much hair they may shed. We also regularly deep clean our home ensuring a clean and safe environment for any pet. If there is any further requirements or questions please contact us.

“Jake came to stay overnight for us when we were away. He turned up on time and I felt really confident that the house and Zeus world be in excellent hands while we are away. He kept in regular contact with us and when we returned it was clear that he had taken really good care of Zeus and the house. Would recommend and look forward to Jake coming back to help us again.”

About: I’m not just a pet lover; I’m trained in professional animal care. I hold a recognised qualification in Dog Grooming, which gave me invaluable experience in understanding canine anatomy and individual temperaments. This training also included Dog First Aid, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. I am also DBS checked. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals - from dogs and cats to parrots, lizards, and rabbits! I genuinely love their company and will always treat your pets with the same respect and high level of care I would give my own. I run my own pet photography business (which includes a hybrid sitting/photography service) called The Dog Frame. While your daily updates will usually be quick snapshots from my phone, I do like to bring my professional camera along for longer house sits/bookings to capture a few high quality images of your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My schedule is quite flexible, and I can often work it around the needs of you and your pet. If I commit to taking care of your pet, my full and undivided attention will be given. I have trained in an educational setting in how to correctly and safely look after and care for dogs. I am able to recognise different behaviours, which can be helpful in certain situations, such as identifying a potential problem before it escalates - I feel this is important, as there can be much more to pet care than meets the eye. The safety and comfort of your pet will always be my top priority.
