About: Hey! I've been obsessed with animals since forever, having my first pet, a Pomeranian when I was 7, and then upon attending boarding school, spending most my time with the Head Teacher's labradors, teaching them tricks and buying them treats. I've been surrounded by dogs via by brothers cockapoo and sister's shitzu, and I am now proud to have a doggie of my own - Nova for frenchie.Since getting Nova, i’ve done a tonne of dog sitting for neighbours, family and work colleagues. The experience gained through all of this really has helped me with - Accountability - Safeguarding pets - Dog training (I've read 2 books on doggy obedience and training) - General dog care. I can take same-day/last minute bookings (I've had to do many myself so can understand the need for it). I also record and send personalized & professional content. I have an Enhanced DBS. I understand the importance of meet & greets, so if you require one, please do let me know. Lastly, my pup is a sucker for people and other dogs (she adores the attention and the fun), so your dog must be friendly I work from home Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and so can be quite flexible. I also drive, and offer an affordable and feasible pick-up add-on if needed. Let me know of any - restrictions - desires/preferences I can flex my approach to best suit your dog's usual schedule, as I recognize ease dog's treatment is unique.

About: I have always had cats in my life and have looked after friends and families dogs since I was young. I also have a 1 year old sausage dog that loves other dogs! I work from home Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I am also home most weekends due to having my own dog that I rarely leave alone. I have a fenced in garden with a very friendly sausage dog and 2 cats. The cats are very well socialised with dogs and mostly stay away from them and let them do their own thing

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.

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 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.

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!

About: I’ve had pets since i was a child and love the bond you create with them. I’ve looked after friends and family pets while they on vacation or work I’m a full time cabin crew where I have 3-4 days off a week and the days I do work I can adjust to your requirements if I can I Ensure they are feed and watered, and given plenty of love, animals are around my children and always make them apart of the family

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’ :)

About: I’ve taken care of neighbours’ dogs when they used to go away for holidays. My mum also owned a dog when she was younger so she knows how to deal with dogs and has taught me lots. I've also owned cats multiple times and have had them for years. I work in part-time and usually have full availability from Sunday to Thursday. However, I'm pretty much mostly available for boarding as I'm home during the evening and night and have my family to also look out for your dog if needed. I have a fenced garden with lots of space for pets. Our house also allows for movement. My siblings and parents have experience with pets as we used to own some before. We also have no pets as of right now so your pets will be surrounded by our full attention 🫶

Rebecca C.
“Rebecca looked after our French Bulldog whilst we were away on holiday. She formed a lovely bond with our frenchie, which was important for his anxieties. She followed our instructions on his diet and routine and took him on daily walks. Having Rebecca to walk our dog and look after him has taken lots of pressure off of us as a busy working family and seeing him get so excited to see her each time puts our minds at ease. We would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone looking for a dog walker”

Pato S.

“Pato was amazing! My cat who can not be very sociable at time loved her! She was great at communicating and was so reassuring that she took care of our fur baby!”


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!”


Yana K.
“As a first aiders trainer, I understand the importance of reliable and compassionate care, and Yana truly embodies these qualities when looking after pets.
