Extremely reliable and kind to both the pet and the pet parents. Updates are done in a timely and precise manner. A true pleasure collaborating with her. We were able to enjoy a stress-free holiday.

Laura was fantastic! My cat Sydney is normally quite a nervy cat, but she warmed to Laura very quickly. She was very attentive and managed to get her to play, which she doesn’t really do with new people. I got regular updates and photos, which was lovely to receive whilst I was away! She went above and beyond, I would recommend the lovely Laura to anyone :)

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

Jenny looked after our cat Meg for a week while we were away on holiday. She's an older cat and somewhat stuck in her ways which makes her a bit shy with new people, but she was very patient and tried to bring her out of her shell (even through the odd hiss - sorry about that Jenny!). We had daily updates with photos and lots of communication which made us very reassured that she was ok and being well looked after which in turn made us able to enjoy our holiday so much more. We'd definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone.

About: I have a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Management and I’m currently completing work experience at a doggy day care, where I help supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more nervous dogs. At the moment, I offer dog walking and always make sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

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

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: 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.

Dora is warm and super professional – you can tell straight away she knows what she’s doing and has lots of experience. My cat Luna usually only rolls around on the carpet for me (it’s her little way of showing trust), and I’ve never seen her do that with someone new before! But she warmed up to Dora almost instantly – a true cat whisperer. I’m so happy with the care Dora gave, and she was really flexible with my plans too. Highly recommend!
