About: Hi, my name is Jodie and I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I provide pet sitting and dog walking services in Hertfordshire. I have backgrounds on farms, in catteries and vet practices. I hold a level 3 diploma in animal management and a bachelors degree in zoology. I am also currently working toward my masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour. If your pet needs claws clipping or basic grooming I can also provide this service as well as administering any medications. With visits I will also spend quality time playing with your dog/cat so that they're fully enriched whilst you're not there. I currently work 32 hours a week in a cattery, with flexible days. I tend to pet sit or dog walk on my days off or on evenings/mornings. I have a car in which I can take dogs to safe walking areas, and if I am working in your home I will do my utmost best to leave it how I found it. Any dogs with no recall training or weak recall training will not be allowed off of leash.

“Kerry looked after our indoor cat, essentially house sitting for several hours while we were out. Our cat seemed very content and chilled when we got back so thank you so much Kerry 🙏”


“Thank you Lexie for your patience with Linkin. He will make friends 😜”


“Kate was fantastic. 10/10! She cared for our parent's dog Kodi (an older border collie) at the farm's smaller property. We received consistent updates about him, his well being & any walks he got around the property's forested area. The house was left clean/tidy after her stay. We would absolutely use Kate again!”


“Jane was absolutely incredible. From the start, she was warm and professional. Whilst I was away, she took great care of my home and my dog—daily walks, lots of love, and regular updates with photos that gave me total peace of mind. I found Jane to be totally reliable and trustworthy. I feel very lucky to have found her and would welcome her back any time. Highly, highly recommended.”


“Shannon looked after Obie last minute when our other dog sitter was not able. Appreciate the responsiveness and Obie had a great time!”


About: I have my dog called Gus he has epilepsy, so I’m used to giving medication throughout the day, I am also used to handling his seizures when he has them. I have been working in a doggy hotel and daycare which I would handle up to 15 dogs in my pack 5 days a week for 2 hours. I’m very felixaeble, I’m able to care for dogs from Monday to Thursday 8am-4pm, if needed you can messages me about times that I’m not available as I can move things around if needed Like I said before I have worked in hotel and doggy day are, so I have experience with taking care of dogs in boarding and outside playing with other dogs as well. This has allowed me to gain experience in the field will handling different sizes of dogs and there needs when out about.

“Mada agreed to house sit for us on limited notice - and was really understanding and patient. Sirius warmed to her and it helped us to know he was in safe hands while we spent time with old friends. He was calm the whole time with her and she was very accommodating, communicative and kind. We would highly recommend Mada and would book with her again!”


“Nikhita was absolutely brilliant with our boy, this was the first time I had used Rover and the first time leaving him with someone new, and I didn’t retreat it. Great communication throughout and house left as she found it. Thank you! Have rebooked Nikhita services!”


“Anna came to look after Florence at our house and was brilliant. We had updates from her during the evening and she was very attentive with Florence and they got on very well!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, have 5 at my family house! Reallyt missing them since moving out but sadly can’t have one of my own :( mostly I just want to spend time with cats again! All my cats are outdoor cats so they’ve had some minor and one major injury which gave me a lot of experience with cat care and knowledge! I’m also a certified treat giver and will never move if I cat is sat on me even if the building is on fire 🥰 I work full time hybrid. The only day I have to be in the office is Monday, but I only live 5 minutes away so can come back at lunchtime and for another short break in the day! I will be home majority of the day to keep your furry friend company and give loads of pets! No outdoor area accessible for dogs to free roam.

About: I’ve always had dogs, small, large and fury. I regularly look after friends and neighbour's dogs and have loved every minute. Love to go exploring the outside rain or shine. I work school hours so am available from 3pm onwards during the week, I have every school holiday free for walking sitting and pop ins My approach is to follow your regular routine whether it be feeding at their regular time walking at their regular time and generally find out the games they love to play.

“We are thrilled with the service Chloe provided! Our baby Bella was cared for and we could tell she was very happy in Chloe’s presence. It was our first time leaving her and we were really reassured how quickly Bella bonded with Chloe. She has a lovely calm presence! We’ve returned home to find our house tidier than we left it! We can’t thank Chloe enough and we will definitely book again, we highly recommend her services to other pet owners! 🐶”

They kept the litter box spotless, played with the cats daily, and even brought in our mail. I can’t recommend this service enough—we’ll never use a kennel again.” Raquel dos santos”
