About: I've had pets since I was a small girl. I grew up with labradors, cats, rabbits and gerbils. It was only once i'd turned 30 I realised I wanted to be a veterinary nurse. I obtained my qualification December 2024 and was put on the RCVS register 2025. If you need help on an ad hoc basis and my availability fits with what you need, I'd love to be able to help you and your fur baby. I have Wednesdays off most weeks and have two days off either side of a weekend when I work them. The days I am off I am able to be home the whole time I have a fenced garden and a 10 and a half year old cavalier king charles spaniel that loves making new friends. He goes out for small walks but I am more than happy to go for long walks if thats what your fur baby needs

About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

“Dougal had a lovely time with Ayesha and her puppy Pumpkin. We received daily updates with pictures and videos and will certainly rebook with her the next time we are away.”

Andrew G.

“Papaya loved her time with Sarah. I was updated regularly with photos and messages. Sarah and her family are absolutely great and I am so happy I found d an absolutely great sitter for my dog.”

J D.

“I’m sure if our dog Miro could talk he’d say how much he enjoyed another lovely stay with Linda and Craig. He comes back really relaxed and I’d recommend Linda always as she’s so tuned into the needs of Miro.”

“I can't thank Ly enough for taking such wonderful care of my dog during a one-night stay. Jacko was unfortunately feeling poorly with a bad stomach at the time, but she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well looked after. She kept me updated throughout the night with regular messages and lots of photos, which really reassured me and put my mind at ease. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and it felt more like leaving my dog with family than with a sitter. Her son also helped care for my dog when she wasn’t there, and it was lovely to see that same level of care and kindness from him too. The whole experience had a very homely and warm feel, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them both to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. Thank you again for everything!”

“Loki was so well looked after! He loves Tom and his family, and is always excited when we turn into their road. Tom sends updates regularly so that we don't worry. Can't thank them enough.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Kim for our 1 year old lexi, it was clear when we had a pre meet with Kim and her own 3 adorable dogs how much love and care lexi would receive. During her 5 day stay we were kept updated with pics etc, lexi was treated with walks in the woods and visits to the beach and lexi looked so happy enjoying her break, she was relaxed and had truly bonded with Kim and her dogs,Kim's love for dogs really stood out. I can highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Lexi will definitely be going back next time we go away. Once again thank you Kim Gary rasa and lexi.”

Kristina N.

“It's been the 1st time of ever using this kind of service Dainora has been amazing, I was able to notice that Sasha had an amazing time with them, she never showed any kind of anxiety. I'm definitely be using her services again and will highly recommend it to anyone who needs it”

Sheila N.

“Pam was fantastic. Took my booking just 2 hours before dropping charlie off. I had pictures throughout the day, he loved his time with you guys!”

Darren N.

“Maisie, our 5yr old Cocker Spaniel stayed with Jodie & James for a week. She appeared comprotable.right from the meet & greet. The updates and photos they sent were lovely & very reassuring to us while we were away. Maisie had only stayed in kennels before and didn't really eat whereas at Jodie's she ate well and loved all the fuss & attention from them both. When we picked her up, she still went back to them for fuss while we were there which says so much to us. We would definitely recommend them & will be more than happy for Maisie to stay with them again.”

“Thank you Eszter, Craig and beautiful Ivy for looking after Bertie with such kindness. Highly recommended, Bertie is so settled when he is staying with you. Thank you so very much xx”

Helen F.

“This was the first time Bess had boarded at Sharon’s and definitely won’t be the last. Bess really enjoyed her stay and came back happy and relaxed from the experience. I’m delighted that I can go away for the weekend knowing that my dog is in safe, caring and attentive hands.”

Deborah H.

“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”

Joel W.

“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”

Colin S.

“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and being around them is just part of my everyday routine. At home we have two very friendly Eastern European Shepherds, so I’m very used to living with large breeds and helping with feeding, brushing, playtime, and keeping dogs calm and happy. My parents have lots of experience with dogs, and my dad is an IMDT‑qualified puppy instructor, so I’ve learned a lot from being involved in training sessions and understanding different dog personalities. It’s taught me how to stay confident, gentle, and patient with all kinds of dogs. I’m currently home from uni, which means I have plenty of time to devote to looking after dogs like walking, drop‑ins, or giving them a safe, comfy area in our 3 storey house, away from the shepherds if needed. There are also lovely woodland paths and fields close to our home, so dogs get plenty of chances for fun walks. If you’re looking for someone who’s grown up in a dog‑experienced home, is confident with small and large breeds, with lots of time to give your dog attention and care, I’d love to help! I'm currently at home from university, so I am free any day of the week to look after your dogs and available for boarding/walking any time! We have a fenced garden and a very dog friendly household where your dog will be treated like a member of the family. There are lovely walks nearby and your fur baby will get lots of attention and plenty of cuddles while they're here!
