“Amy looked after our cat Sylvie whilst we were on holiday. Amy is so friendly, caring and highly professional - we had daily video updates whilst we were away and Sylvie really loved Amy. I would 100% recommend using Amy’s cat sitting service and we will definitely be getting Amy back whenever we next go away! Thank you! 😊 x”
“Both cats were happy and chilled when we got home. Eva was very professional and considerate, even when an upsetting event occured. I would certainly recommend Eva & use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds like Chow Chow, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute, and I currently care for my own Czech Wolfdog. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs and personalities. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers, which has taught me how to read a dog’s behavior and proactively manage situations during walks to avoid potential triggers. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring safety, or catering to the specific needs of different breeds, I’m confident in offering top-notch care for your furry friends. I have extensive experience caring for medium and large-breed dogs, having raised several over the years, and I am currently living with a Czech Wolfdog and a maine coon. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. We live in an excellent area with access to large parks and beautiful nature spots. I regularly take dogs out for long walks, hikes, and play sessions, whether by car or on foot. When we’re not exploring nearby parks, my spacious, fully fenced back garden offers a safe and enjoyable space for dogs to roam, relax, and play freely. Dog care is part of my everyday life — I truly enjoy spending time with them, helping them stay active, engaged, and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a pet owner’s home. I create a calm and comfortable environment for the pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy at all times. I’m highly attentive to their needs, from maintaining regular feeding and walking schedules to keeping their surroundings clean and safe. During walks, I’m vigilant about their interactions with other animals and the environment, avoiding potential triggers and ensuring their safety on busy streets or parks. I also communicate openly with pet owners, providing updates and following any specific care instructions they have. My goal is to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels confident and at ease.
About: Hi, I'm Susie 😊 Animals have been my one true passion ever since I can remember! My animal care journey started with guinea pigs and rabbits when I volunteered at a children's farm from 2016-2018. I adopted my own pair of guinea pigs from here and now have 4 girls of my own 🩷 I then volunteered with the National Animal Welfare trust, gaining experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperments. I worked with many animals with behavioural difficulties, health conditions and disabilities, which involved administering medication. I also learnt how to effectively train dogs and puppies through positive reinforcement during my time at NAWT. Unfortunately, volunteering was not allowed to continue during the pandemic, so I moved to providing private pet sitting, dog training and dog walking when it was allowed. My first client was an energetic field spaniel called Issy who you can see a picture of on my profile along with many of the other pets I've taken care of 🥰 At uni in Nottingham, I was ran the dog society and connected with many owners through organising group dog walks. I learnt so much about the different connections between pups and their owners and found this experience invaluable. I'm looking forward to loving more cats and dogs like family and am confident that I can guarantee the highest quality care 🐾 I am currently available to look after both cats and dogs in your own home and provide enriching local dog walks at all times. Please note that I don't drive but as long as you're accessible by bus and/or walk, I'm more than happy to make the journey 😊 I can look after your pets in your own home exactly as they are used to, for their maximum comfort. I am confident walking all breeds and following specific instructions tailored to your pets' individual needs.
“Claire was very helpful with Liam. She sent us pictures of Liam and what he was doing on every visit. This gave us peace of mind that he is keeping alright. Thank you so much. Will definitely rebook again.”
“We are so grateful for Sarah! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Liam. He’s usually quite reserved, but he immediately warmed up to her — a true sign of her gentle nature and experience with animals. It’s rare to find someone who can make an unfriendly cat feel safe and happy, but Sarah managed it effortlessly. Knowing Liam was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly gifted cat caretaker!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, calm and animal-loving pet sitter — and I’m also a Registered Veterinary Nurse. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s my profession and passion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets — they’re family. My goal is always to keep routines consistent, give lots of attention, and make your pet feel safe, relaxed and happy while you’re away. Due to my profession as a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I work on a shift-based rota. This means my availability can vary from week to week. I will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, however lunchtime drop-in visits may not always be possible depending on my shift pattern and your location. Even so, I am flexible where I can be and will communicate clearly and in advance to ensure your pet’s care is consistently covered and never compromised. Early morning, evening, and overnight visits are often more reliably available. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing and comfort are always my highest priority. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I bring professional clinical knowledge and a calm, confident approach to every visit, ensuring your pet is cared for safely and appropriately at all times. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality so they can feel secure in their own home environment. I always work gently and patiently, never forcing interaction and allowing pets to approach me in their own time. You can trust that: - I closely observe your pet for any changes in behaviour or health - I follow all care instructions carefully and precisely - I maintain a clean, safe and stress-free environment during every visit - I treat your home with respect and care at all times - I provide clear updates so you always feel reassured while you’re away My goal is to create a calm, consistent and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet, giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are in experienced and caring hands.

“Anna made us feel really comfortable. We were incredibly anxious about leaving our 9 week old puppy alone in the mornings but she met his before the day and gave us regular updates. We will definitely be contacting her again. She was super reassuring and even alerted us to a weed in our garden we didn't know was toxic. We've had a really easy week because of her and are super thankful.”
About: I've never had my own dog however I lived with my husband dog for a long time, loved and care for him ❤️ sadly he passed away 2 years ago. He was a Yorkshire Terrier very playful 😄 I'm working in a care sector and I am quite flexible, I can care for animal 4 days in 1 week and 3 in another week as my hours are unchanged every week.

“Emily saved the day for us a day before we were leaving on holiday when a previous sitter let us down. She was instantly super kind and a genuinely nice person. She looked after our cat Bennie and sent wonderful updates daily with lots of pictures which completely put us at ease whilst being away. Thank you so much Emily - we look forward to seeing you again x”
“Kelly looked after Kitty for a few days during our short trip however it was long enough for her to create a special bond with her! Expect easy communication, great care, much love and amazing photos. I’ll rebook without a second thought!”

Iuliia is a lovely pet sitter who genuinely cares about animals - we left our two cats in her care. She was brilliant giving me regular updates and sharing videos. She also made the effort to clean the litter trays and keep the area tidy for when we returned. Thank you luliia x
Ana has cared for our kitties many times as we’re often away on business. She takes wonderful care of them and we always know they’re in good hands. Two are quite old (19 & 21!) so having a carer we can trust is paramount. She’s always so sweet and helpful, and the kitties love her too.
Zahra looked after Reya for a few days over the Christmas period. She took lots of photos when she did her drop ins and did a wonderful job keeping Reya happy and comfortable while we were away! Reya can be very shy but she seemed to take to Zahra very quickly and we were super impressed. We would absolutely ask Zahra to look after her if we need in the future!
Teresa was very responsive which I really appreciated since it was a last-minute booking. My cats got on with her immediately at the first meeting, and were really well cared for while I was away - purring and tails up when I came back! Would definitely book again.
