8. Sophie G.
“Sophie has been wonderful with Lu especially since Lu has been very anxious lately and very unsure of going out for her walks. Sophie is incredibly patient with Lu and has made sure she’s had a toilet break and lots of attention even if she doesn’t want a big walk. Sophie sends regular updates and pictures and has been an excellent communicator. Thank you!”

17. Siobhan B.
About: I absolutely love animals, and have been lucky enough to care for dogs (plus Hamsters, Cats and Guinea Pigs) all of my life, as well as me and my partner having adopted our wonderful Toy Poodle Remy 2 years ago now. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing boarding, walks and daycare for friends and neighbours, and love being able to provide a calming and fun environment for dogs when they need to be away from home - as well as giving Remy a playmate! We are lucky enough to live in a development with lots of other dogs, so regularly host play dates too. I have experience with a variety of breeds as well as nervous/anxious dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, and would not leave your pet home alone for any period of time. I don’t have a private garden, but take regular trips outside for toilet breaks, and also live close to a large park for walks. Me and my partner both work full-time, but with alternating office days Mon-Fri so one of us is always at home for animal care and company. We take frequent toilet trips outside throughout the day and do a longer walk either before or after work depending! (With more flexibility on walking times on the weekends too) I do additionally care for my 2 pet guinea pigs - but they are kept in a room that won’t be accessible to the dogs, so not an issue if your dog isn’t good with small animals. Remy is a small and friendly dog who would love to keep yours company. Pets are allowed up on the furniture, and Remy sleeps in an open crate in my bedroom at night. Depending on your dogs preferences I can set up your pets usual bed in here too, a cosy guest bed/crate, or they are welcome to sleep on the sofa. Whatever makes them most comfortable!

About: I’m Leila and I can’t wait to meet your four legged friend! I’ve worked at Dogs Trust for 3 years, so I’ve built a wealth of knowledge on dog care and behaviour, and have worked with a variety of dogs in different shapes and sizes. As well as dog sitting for neighbours, I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My family dog, Dexter (who is sadly back in Scotland) is a rescue with a lot of quirks and behavioural issues, so I understand the importance of making sure your dog is comfortable and cared for. I live within 5 minutes from Lloyd park so I’m free to meet your dog (and you) before booking if you want to find the right sitter for your fluffy friend! I mainly work from home, and have a flexible schedule so I can visit your dog throughout the day for walks, I can also work from your home if all day care is need am available for overnight stays! I’m committed to giving your dog the best care to suit their needs. It’s important that you can feel relaxed knowing your dog is in safe hands. I’m free to meet before booking so you can get to know me and can see if I am the right match for you and your dog

“Theodora took great care of our kittens Yoshi and Mouse. She sent us daily updates and photos of them and the litter box and food bowls were very clean when we returned home. She also spent play time with them so they won't feel our absence too much. Thank you!”
