About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom to my energetic dog, Milo. Caring for him has taught me patience, understanding, and the joy of building a bond with a furry friend. I’ve also had the privilege of looking after the dogs of family and friends, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s entertaining playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home. Being active, I enjoy taking long walks, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m also happy to adapt to your dog’s specific routine, whether it’s their feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or cuddling on the couch. My flexible lifestyle ensures your pet will feel cared for and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I live in a cozy apartment surrounded by greenery and parks, perfect for regular walks and outdoor adventures. I share my home with Milo, my friendly German Pinscher, so I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone gets along comfortably

“Great updates and photos. Great sitter.”

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.

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 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.

“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!”


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’ :)
