“I couldn’t be happier with the care Daria provided for my cat. From the start, they were professional, kind, and clearly experienced with animals. Sent regular updates with photos, and made sure everything was just right while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a tidy home. I highly recommend Daria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. Will definitely book again!”


“Laura is an amazing sitter! Fast communication, really friendly and she clearly loves dogs! Our fur babies had a lovely time when she came to sit them. Will be using Laura again for sure!”


About: ***Fully booked for boarding bookings until 3rd November 2025. Some availability for walks or care in your home.*** I have always adored animals, and love caring for them. Growing up, I loved spending time with our two cats and my grandparents’ doggie. Our ‘pack’ consists of me, my husband, and our daughter, who is now at university. We are all animal lovers, recently fostering a mother cat and her three kittens for a local charity. We had them from when the kittens were only 7 weeks old until they were adopted after 6 months. Before that we had been doggy owners for ten years, losing our cherished chihuahua to a congenital heart condition almost a year ago. We understand how a fur baby becomes a part of the family and how tough it can be to leave them in someone else's care. It's important that when you choose us to care for your pet, you can trust that they will be our priority for the full duration their stay, be it for just a few hours or a fortnight stay. We therefore only have one booking at a time. However we would consider two pets from the same owner. I am home full time, so will spend lots of time with your fur baby, playing with them with their favourites toys, taking them for walkies and giving them fuss, care and attention. We live close to the park for nice walkies and also have a small, secure, fenced-in garden. There are some photos of the house and garden in the gallery. During our meet and greet, you and your fur baby can meet me and see our home and garden. It will be an opportunity for me to meet your fur baby and make sure we can offer the right environment for them during their stay. I will want to know all about them, and you will be able to ask all the questions you have about your pet staying with us. Please also let me know anything in particular you would like for your pet during their stay. I’ll do my best to help. When your booking is confirmed, I will send over a short online form for you to give me all of the information I will need to make your pet feel happy and at home throughout their stay. Unlike many other pet carers and boarders, when we say we only care for one owner’s pet(s) at a time, we guarantee it! If you put your pet in our care, you can trust that we won’t be looking after another pet during their stay. I am calm and patient (from years of being a teacher) and have an enhanced DBS check. We have a clean, tidy, smoke-free home and fully-fenced in garden. We also have pet daycare and boarding insurance in place. We are very safety minded and have cable protectors and plug socket covers. Plug-in air fresheners are removed from lower level sockets during pet stays. All pets we care for, day-sitting or overnight stays, must be up to date with flea and worming treatments, and vaccinations. After each pet’s visit, we wash all blankets, pet bedding and toys to ensure a nice clean environment for the next fur baby’s stay. If your pet is used to sleeping in a crate and this is your preference for their stay, we have a large crate we can use during your pet’s stay, which is also thoroughly cleaned after each stay. All pet bowls and dishes are washed after each use during your pet’s stay. If you prefer for us to use your pet’s own bowl and crate and toys from home, that’s absolutely fine too. Meet and greets are essential before a pet has their first stay - It's important for us to get to know your little one before they come for their stay. Having had our own fur baby, we know how important it is that you feel assured your pet is in safe hands while you're away. I will send you regular updates and photos throughout your little one's stay, and ensure they have a home from home stay. I have experience with anxious dogs and cats. I understand that separation anxiety can be extremely tough for some pets, and I am happy to discuss with you a plan to support your pet becoming familiar with me and our home, leading up to their stay. If you are a loving pet owner looking for a kind, caring and responsible animal carer to look after your fur baby.. then look no further.

The cats are very well socialised with dogs and mostly stay away from them and let them do their own thing

About: I’ve had pets since i was a child and love the bond you create with them.

About: I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and love it. I have a big country park very close so my dogs get plenty of exercise and even a swim in the lake if it's hot enough. I'm available 24/7 but as I'm not driving at the moment it's hard to be available for more then 2 drop ins a day, but that's depends on distance to travel. My garden is well fenced off and save, dog friendly home. When my regular dogs come over they're so happy to see me and I can't wait to see them too, I think that shows how much fun we both have. I treat each dog as I would my own, Peace of mind is very important.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals since the start of my life. I grew up with a cat, and two dogs. From a young age I’d been introduced to breeds such as, American Bully’s, Staffs, German shepherds, beagles, Akitas! These were family pets to which I cared for personally, taking on the responsibility to make sure they were fed, walked and played with! When I was 15 I got my first job which I used the pay from to buy my own dog, a beagle named harley. I was her prime care giver and it was down to me to pay all her expenses. I bonded with her deeply and reached a level of trust with her in which I was able to go train her highly. She learnt obedience, eye contact to ask permission, all basic commands such as sit, paw, speak, lay and wait. I was even able to train her to walk off leash; which was a challenge! I have a lot of experience training pets and maintaining positive relationships with them! As of recent I’ve trained my own little pup Zyphr who is 2 years old! He is doing extremely well for his age, already toilet trained, crate trained and sitting on command, waiting for his food, speaking on command, spin, fetch and many more other commands. I’m an experienced pet care giver already as I look after my own pup whom I share with an ex partner! So pet care fills into my daily routine! Pets to me are extended family and as such are treated with the same love I would treat any person. In my home there are no restrictions! They are free to roam the gardens and the house! I also have access to large outdoor forests and fields just across the road from me; Plumstead common, Shrewsbury Park, Eaglesfield ground, Oxleas woods and many more! So your pup would experience amazing walks multiple times a day in different scenery!

“We couldn’t recommend Moska enough! She looked after our British Shorthair for a week and the communication from the very start until the end was exceptional. We received very regular updates and photos with our cat which have really helped put our mind to ease. Thank you so much!”


“Macey provides a superb service. Leaving your loved ones in the hands of others is very difficult. So one relies upon competency, care and professionalism. Macey’s care of our two little frenchies whilst we were away for the weekend embodied all these things and more. She was prompt, supplied photos and the dogs loved her. We’ll definitely call upon her again!”

Charlie C.
“I cannot recommend Charlie enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in safe and loving hands. He went above and beyond to make sure my pup was not just looked after, but truly cared for — belly rubs, long walks, and even a few adorable photos along the way! What made it even more special was how well my dog got on with Charlie’s lovely dog, Nellie. The two of them became fast friends, and it was such a joy knowing my pup had a built-in playmate during their stay. It honestly felt more like a little holiday for my dog than anything else! It’s clear that Charlie doesn’t just “watch dogs” — He genuinely connects with them. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and possibly a little disappointed to leave their new best friend behind! Reliable, communicative, and full of positive energy, Charlie made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable for both of us. If you’re lucky enough to book him, your furry friend is in for a treat — literally and figuratively! Thank you again, Charlie! You’re paws-itively amazing!”


Hannah A.
“Hannah is an amazing dog owner - she loves her little own dog with her whole heart and is such a responsible owner, always does her research and always puts his needs first. She has previous experience in dog walking and sitting, and has always received glowing reviews from their owners on her care of their dogs.”


Catherine W.
“Catherine has looked after and dog sat Gus (my darling dog), when I go on holiday for a couple of months now , she is very professional and Gus is always very happy and excited to see her as I know he gets 10/10 care and affection when Catherine is around ! It makes holidaying a lot easier when you know you have left your dog in loving and capable hands x”


Sean W.
“We have used Sean on a number of ocassions to look after our dog Duke. Duke has been well looked after, walked twice daily, fed and watered and mentally stimulated with doggie games.”


Alanya D.
“I believe Alanya is a great person for pet sitting due to the fact she grew up with pets her whole life, counting big dogs like akitas and smaller dogs like beagles. She currently owns her own dog to which she loves dearly and treats like her own child. To sum it up Alanya is the person you would entrust your dog with”
