About: I am a fun and loving person towards dogs. I had dog and cats in my home since my childhood. Spending time with pets is my hobby and I am best at. If you want to keep your dogs with me I will make sure they are very well looked after and had fun too!! I have my own dogs with me who is very well behaved with other dogs. They can’t handle cats so I am not open for cats. But all type of dogs are welcome. I will follow the routine that you have for your dog, will walk them and play at home too. Will administer any medication if required. Your dogs will have so much nice time while you are away from them. Your dog will have a happy holiday away from home. I am currently working from home and able to take care of dogs very well. Having frequent potty breaks is not a problem and if dogs eat more than twice can also be taken care. I have fenced big garden and two of my own furry friends will keep your dog happy and outside on nice sunny days to play happy
“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 a dog owner and in the position where I needed to leave my dogs with someone I trust that will provide the best care. So I know how you feel and make it my mission that every dog is happy and treated as the individual they are in my care. I've looked after dogs in people's homes, at my house, and had dogs stay for the day or need popping in to and walk whilst families are out at work or at family events. The most important part of any dog sitting job I undertake is knowing your dog and what you / the dog needs to be comfortable, if that means sleeping on our bed, no problem. If the dog prefers to have a bed / crate area, we can make that happen in a space you think they'll like. We are a family of 3 (unless you count the goldfish) and have a spacious house and garden. Although it can be loud at times (with a 6 year old), he is very aware of dogs, having lived with our 2 until mid 2025 when we lost our labrador. He knows not all dogs like extremely loud circumstances and he is an excellent ball thrower. Being a labrador and border collie owner, we are used to active dogs and their needs. However, more recently we've had many visits from a mini dachshund who has firmly made himself at home when he's with us. He requires less walks but more cuddles. Not a problem. We have looked after many dog needs in the last 15 years: Labrador(s), Border Collies, Greyhound, Tibetan Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Jack Russell(s), Bichon Frisé, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd including multiple cross breeds. I have experience volunteering for a specific sight hound rescue as well as the Animal Transport Network. I love dogs and now my 2 are no longer with us, both having reached nearly 16, it's time to get back to dogs, without having one of our own for a while. More than happy for a visit (essential prior to first booking) to meet your pooch. Thereafter, no problems. A typical day- Breakfast and morning walk Play before school School run with dog, if happy to come (not let unattended at all) Cuddles of sofa / sleep Lunch if required School run in afternoon Dinner & walk All timings based on what you require. On a weekend we are around in the house and tend to go out for a morning / afternoon walk, this might be a drive away. Could be a cafe stop (if your dog is happy with that) or we'll just stay local and walk to Cassiobury Park or down the canal. I currently work part time, 3 days a week but these hours at flexible and can be amended due to the personal requirements you have. I am available Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening. Mon/Weds nights or full weeks with notice to change work around your pets needs. I have a fenced garden, multiple parks and green spaces nearby. An active 6 year old who doesn't tire of playing ball or tuggy. Allowed on sofa, bed, a playroom with kids toys that can be penned off. I can work my day / work around you. If your dog is happy to be left up to 4 hours or not, I can fit in around you. We will walk a dog twice a day unless specified, cuddles if wanted, play, food schedule that you dictate and lots of general fuss.

About: I grew up completely surrounded by animals & pets and am a self proclaimed crazy dog lady! I have a deep understanding of dogs, particularly sighthounds and their needs, sensitivity & prey drive, as I grew up with 2 gorgeous whippets - Dolly & Tommy. I also had 3 cats so I have a great knowledge of feline care. I have worked in the Film & TV industry for 6 years and have decided to transition into the pet care field, driven by my genuine passion for animals. I am fully available and flexible to accommodate drop in visits & walking needs at very short notice. I’m also fully available for meet-ups beforehand to get to know eachother & make sure it’s a great fit, just drop me a message! I also often undertake paid home visits for pets belonging to my friends & family whilst they’re at work or on holiday. I am a very reliable, trustworthy and respectful person.

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. I can do whole day or just couple of house depending of the needs. I have a 2 bedroom flat, smoke free in the town center very close to the park. I love nature so your animals will be walked around the park as many times as needed and will rest in a clean environment around lovely hosts
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.
About: I've grown up with cats from a young age and currently have one at my family’s home. I also love dogs and have taken care of them (walking & feeding) for neighbours and friends over the last few years. I’m currently on a career break and just returned from a 3-month trip across South America. I’m looking forward to staying active during this period which means more time and flexibility to look after your furry friends. I can be flexible to take last-minute drop-in, feeding, and walking requests. As a cat-owner myself, I understand the importance of communicating updates, so I will make sure we are aligned on this to make sure you feel comfortable at all times!
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.

“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.”

“Another great experience with Ciprian. He is responsible and caring, always sending regular updates and photos. He spent quality time playing with my cat and built a lovely bond with her. I would definitely book him again.”

I can’t explain how happy I was with Sophia! She was the best person to choose, she was caring and always listened to whatever I requested. She left everything sparkling clean and even watered my plants when the weather was crazy hot. I am so glad she was the person to take care of my house and my two babies. I hope she won’t move away so I can book with her in the future 🩷 all the best Sophia and thank you so so much once more 🩷

Lara was fantastic. She met us a few days before we needed her to cat sit for us to show the cats and the house system. She was in constant communication with us giving updates of my cats. She’s such a friendly person and my cats loved her. Can’t recommend her enough!
Iuliia was wonderful with Junie and took great care of her! She sent us tons of photos and videos during her stay to put us at ease as it was our first time having someone watch our puppy 😊 We will absolutely use her again in the future, highly recommend Iuliia!

We had an amazing experience with Zahra during a drop-in visit for our dog Fifi. She came beforehand for a meet and greet, which immediately made us feel so comfortable, secure, and reassured leaving Fifi in her care. During the visit she fed and walked Fifi and kept us updated, and it was clear how caring, trustworthy, and attentive she was. Fifi absolutely loved her! It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being so well looked after. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely lovely dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Fifi!

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.

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.
