About: I have always been around dogs since I was a child. I had my own dog(working cocker spaniel) which I had from a puppy til old age so I understand that they are members of your family. I have experience of dog walking and dog sitting. I have extensive experience with dog training and good knowledge of needs of different dog breeds. I have basic knowledge of dog first aid and CPR. I am currently a full time dog walker and I can be fully flexible and accommodate most needs depending on existing bookings. Not available Saturdays. Unfortunately I am not able to accommodate dogs at my property at the moment. If visiting I would respect any rules and boundaries set out by the client. happy to stop by for meal times or playtimes

About: I have had pets in my family home for the last 10 years. At one point there was 7 dogs, 2 cats and chickens! I love all things animal and have a kind caring nature. We would love to open our home and give love and attention to your beloved pets as we haven't got one of our own since buying our first home! Now also offering a grooming service with Real friends Grooming so your beloved pet can look there best before home time. Please message me upon making a booking if you want a quote for a groom. Nails, bath and cuts available. I work a typical 9-5 schedule and my partners hours change regularly with the typical shift being 6am-11am/12. I can also have pets in my office or work from home where needed! There is always someone home throughout the day. I have a fenced garden and live in a quiet cul de sac. The only cars that enter are typically living here or to use the local shop. We can offer a safe space for your pet with plenty of room to roam in our 4 bed house. There are plenty of lovely fields and walks for daily exercise.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, taken care of and trained many myself. In recent years. My darling dog teg had epilepsy so it’s given me good experience handling dogs medication and extra help. I am a serious dog lover, have never been without a family dog until I had my daughter who’s 3. She has followed in my footsteps of loving our fur babies. I live in a ground floor flat in a smoke free home close to wonderful parks. Really enjoy going for long walks. Ground floor flat, with secure access, close to boating lake and other local parks. I’m easy going and treat fur babies like family. So cwtches on the sofa are perfectly acceptable to me 😊

About: I recently lost my permanent foster dog from Spain, who came to me when he was 9 and I had him for over 4 years. He was a large GSDx and my house is very quiet without him so I thought pet sitting might be nice to do in the interim. I have always had dogs growing up and frequently look after my friends and families dogs and cats whilst they are away. I'm not worried if your furry pal is older. I work from home so will always be on hand to let them out and I have some fab walks nearby. I currently work full time but remotely from home. I take breaks every couple of hours and usually go for a walk on my lunch hour or after work. I'm used to a large senior dog who would often need regular toilet breaks (and snack time - he would definitely let me know if he was snacky) My garden is enclosed and has a very high and secure padlocked gate towards the front. My dog was never interested in jumping over the wall to see my neighbour (as he was arthritic and a large chap). I do look after a pup sometimes and he is kept on a lead at all times in my garden as he's young and nosey and a bounce risk (I would do the same for any dogs that stays to ensure they are secure)

About: I grew up with a large family that loved animals and was always surrounded by them. I asked for a mouse for my 10th birthday, and got a bonus of ten more when we found out she was pregnant! At the same time, my brother’s hamster was also pregnant and had a litter of eleven! We hand-built large cages for both litters and suddenly we’re surrounded by more than twenty adorable rodents! If you count the five goldfish we also owned, we were close to thirty pets at once. The lifespan is unfortunately short for most of these little guys, and as the years went on we got three birds, two dogs, and one rat. In my twenties when I lived on my own, I got myself a cat. He was the greatest boy I ever could have hoped for, but he had been born with an underlying heart condition and passed away at only seven. Since then, I have moved to the UK from America and married my animal loving husband (Fin). He had a dog, cat, and rabbits when I first moved, but they have all passed away in the last couple of years. His dog was 13 and died most recently in February of bone cancer, but he was the goodest boy. We are now living without any pets at the moment, and miss them so much, but know we need to pick the right time to start again with our own, so in the meantime, we’re really hoping to borrow yours! My husband and I both adore all animals, and are so looking forward to spending quality time with your own! My husband and I both work from home, so our hours are very flexible! It is very likely that we can make anything you need from us work. For all services, we have complete respect for our pet owners personal requests regarding their pets. If your little guy is on a strict diet, we will not sneak him treats behind your back. If they’re not, then they’ll probably be getting spoiled! If they eat dinner and go for walks at a specific time, we’ll set alarms to keep to that agenda. If they don’t like walking on pavement, we have a lovely grass field area across the street and multiple parks near us. My husband (Fin) and I both work from home, so we have all the time in the world to spend with your pets and give them all of the attention they deserve! We have a fenced in garden that’s quite long and a good width for running around dogs, and we have a gorgeous field/hill a stone’s throw away from us that we go to all the time and people love taking their dogs too. There is also an award-winning dog park down the road! As far as I door care, we start by respecting your own personal boundaries and wishes, but we love cuddles, playing, tricks, walks, pets, treats, and everything in between!

About: I’ve grown up with my dogs my whole childhood and now have my own as an adult 😊 I’m an experienced raw feeder with the knack for healthy dogs!

So lots of flexible time to help with your pups! My flexibility means if you need it - I should be able to do it! I have a large fenced garden but sadly won’t be offering home boarding.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life - from tiny hamsters to large dogs. I’m experienced with rescue pets, senior care, and gentle puppy training. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed. My calm, patient nature helps animals feel at ease quickly. Plus, I’m always happy to provide photo updates and follow any special routines or needs. I recently left my full-time job and now work part-time online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available throughout the day and week to provide consistent, attentive care for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, a morning visit, or an afternoon cuddle session, I can easily fit pet care around my online work. Your pet will never be left alone for long - and I’m happy to adjust to their routine and needs I’m happy to come and walk/feed your pet several times a day, but I won’t be able to stay overnight at your place because my cat can’t sleep without me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home during the day or visiting them in their own home, I always prioritise their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm and clean environment. I have a small, secure back garden with a high fence - perfect for safe outdoor play. If needed, I also have enough space indoors to keep cats and dogs separated to reduce stress and ensure everyone feels relaxed. I currently live with a friendly rescue cat, so I only accept vaccinated pets for health and safety reasons. When visiting pets in their home, I follow their usual routines closely - feeding, walking, playtime, litter care, or medication. I always take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious animals, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have always taken care of various pets, mostly friends and families. I've had cats and dogs in my family, both immediate and extended, and I've always enjoyed spending time with them, walking them and playing with them.

I'm currently studying part time so not every day is always free but i'm usually free weekdays and weekends morning, afternoon and evening. Sadly I do not drive so any pet would need to be fairly local. I live in a cosy second story flat near large fields so a dog would be amply stimulated and comfortable in my home. I would follow whatever guidelines that the pet owner would have in their home, so long as it is good for the pet.

ieva g.
“As well as being a true dog lover and doing a fantastic job walking the canines, Ieva has been absolutely amazing looking after my cats (including one pregnant and one with ill-health) while I've been away. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is looking for some help caring for a pet, especially when it comes to dogs and making sure that they get all the exercise they need.”


Alisha P.
“Alisha looked after my German shepherd for a week when I got sent away for training for work. She was absolutely amazing with him, she followed all the routines I gave her, gave him lots of attention, lots of play time in her local park, and he came back very happy and well looked after. Alisha is such a caring and sweet person, I would 100% ask her to look after my precious boy Jesse again if I ever need to go away. I've already recommended Alisha to friends and family who have pets for if they ever need the help, and would recommend her to anyone with pets”

“Alison is amazing with animals—she’s one of those people pets just instantly trust. She’s super reliable, always on time, and genuinely loves being around animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just hanging out and giving cuddles, she goes above and beyond. I always feel totally at ease knowing my pets are in her care.”


Tanya R.
“Tanya is great with my pets. I have an Irish Setter that she often walks to different nearby parks. When she visits the house, my dog almost stalks her because he loves when she shows up. I'm pretty sure Tanya has taken several bruises to the legs from my Irish Setter batting at her legs to get more attention from her if she's speaking with someone else (he gets jealous!). My family also has a cat that she gives love and attention to whenever she sees him, so I know she's not just a dog person, but an animal person. We've also had Tanya move in for ten days once while we were all on vacation to watch the house and take care of our pets while we were away, and she did both to the top extent. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker!”
