“Laura is great with our pup Willow. Felt perfectly safe letting her into our house to pick Willow up for a walk, was really attentive and sent lots of photos of the fun they had together. She let me know when she was on her way, asked for specific instructions and left our house as she found it. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I’m originally from Italy, where every home feels complete with a dog. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and they’ve been a big part of my life ever since. Now, I have one dog of my own—Sunny. She’s a bubbly, happy pup who loves park walks… when she feels like it! On rainy days, she’s perfectly content to lounge around like the lazy little queen she is. I adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and colors. To me, they truly are our best friends—a belief I’ve held my whole life. I’m available anytime for a good walk or some playtime. Sunny would love a new friend to join us, especially one who speaks her language! Sunny and I will make sure your pup is cared for and loved like family. I am a master’s student, so I’m home most of the time attending online classes, and having some furry company sounds like a wonderful idea. I have a fenced garden where pets can play freely and I offer full walks with energetic Sunny. I provide a safe, secure environment with plenty of outdoor adventures, personalized care, and constant supervision to ensure your dog feels trusted, comfortable, and loved at all times.

“Olivia is a kind, responsible and organised dog-lover who enjoys nothing more than spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She has lived with dogs for over 20 years and regularly dog sits an excitable cockapoo. She is comfortable taking energetic dogs on long walks as well as taking care of dogs that enjoy a slower lifestyle”


6. Rachel V.

“We just tried Rachel as our new dog walker, and she was absolutely fantastic! Milo thoroughly enjoyed his walk and came back so happy and content. Rachel was punctual, professional, and clearly loves what she does. Milo warmed up to her right away, and it was clear she made the experience fun and enjoyable for him.”


7. Charlie R.
About: I grew up around animals my entire life. I’ve had birds, dogs, bunnies (and even a hamster!) I absolutely adore all animals. I’ve dealt with all ages of dogs, from puppies to seniors! I’m currently a student, but my studies are on hold until September. So I have all the time in the world to help care for your pet! I will offer my unconditional love to your pet at all times, making sure we have lots of time for play too (if needed). Your pet will be well-cared for, and well-loved by me! I will also be available to contact at all times if necessary to put your mind at ease.


8. Daria Y.
About: Since I was 15 years old I was constantly around dogs and I've always loved and admire those animals. I like long walks and playing with them. I work part-time, 3 days per week. This allows me to be very flexible with the schedule. I love spending most of my free time in my home The dog will have constant access to my garden which is completely safe because it's fenced. I know how important the routine is for the dog, thats why I can completely accommodate it in my hours with it.


9. Daisy G.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I am currently not working and my child goes to nursery 3 days a week so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.


10. Leanne D.

“Couldn’t be more complimentary about Leanne - always on time, always gave Rex a wonderful walk and lots of pats and provided some of the best photos of him!”

13. Mia G.
“Mia has helped care for my dog as in taking him for walks, feeding him, cuddling and playing with him. Also keeping up with his training.”


14. 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.”


15. Hannah T.
About: Having a puppy myself, I know how important finding the right care for your dog is. I have trained my pup to sit at the curb before crossing the road and to wait when the front door is open, plus many tricks such as lay, roll over, turn around, high paw, etc. This training can too be provided to your dog with lots of treats as a reward. Pets are the most important for pet owners so I strive to make dogs as happy as can be whether it be long walks, sunbathing together or playing with toys for hours on end. Looking after a dog isn’t just about taking care of their basic needs, I also offer lots of fun to make sure they’re happy. We’ll keep their tails waggin’ :)


16. Holly H.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, growing up with 2 dogs in my close family. I absolutely adore animals , especially dogs and in our close family we have around 8 dogs that we take care of regularly. Me and my partner have recently bought our own place and we are currently saving to get our own doggy so in the meantime would absolutely love to look after different dogs. We are caring, reliable and live next door to a large park. We love to exercise, go on regular walks , but also cuddle in doors with our furry friends. I currently have a fully remote role so work from home every day. I can take regular breaks and go on walks when needed with a large park 2 minutes from our apartment. We live on a ground floor 2 bedroom apartment in a secure building which only allows residents in with a fob and key. We have a decent sized balcony that’s is fully secure and has privacy screening.
