“Sherry was really nice, Very respectful on Mia and Cody’s routine. It was the first time we had left the dogs with someone else other than family. Came and visited us a couple of time and Got to know Mia & Cody beforehand. Really understood what their likes & dislikes were. Came home and both dogs were relaxed & Calm. Would definitely book again if we ever need to go away. ☺️”

“We have recently moved to Welwyn Garden City and were quite worried about finding the right dog sitter. Becca did a few walks with our two dogs and stayed with them while we were on holidays. They immediately became best friend, we could definitely tell our dogs felt safe and calm with Becca. Thank you so much! <3”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, as my family have always had them, and I have had my own dog since I was 8 years old. He is now 15, so I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they can need as they get older. Alongside this, I have plenty of hands-on experience walking and caring for other people’s dogs. In the past, I regularly walked many dogs, including helping to walk two puppies for four years from when they were little during lockdown. I am also a regular dog sitter for trusted clients, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am energetic and playful when needed, so I am more than happy to match the energy of lively or excitable dogs, but I also know when to slow things down and adapt to dogs who are older, calmer, or just want to relax. I also spend a lot of time with my partner’s cats, so I am very comfortable around cats too and genuinely love animals of all kinds. What makes me stand out is how naturally caring, attentive, and adaptable I am with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really naturally, as looking after animals has always been part of my life. I genuinely enjoy making time for walks, play, feeding, and company, and I am good at organising my week so pets get the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I really love doing. I am currently finishing up my psychology degree and will have lots of free time to work around any pet sitting or dog walking needs, until I start my masters in January, then I’ll need to update my availability. I care for pets in an owner’s home by making sure they feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in their usual environment. I always stick closely to their normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and rest, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can care for them in the way that suits them best. I also treat the owner’s home with great respect and would make sure it is kept clean, tidy, and secure at all times.

I’m a self employed artist working from home with my own little dog Benji who is great with other dogs. I have a completely flexible schedule perfect for taking the best care and giving attention to your much loved pup. I have my super friendly boy Benji to keep your pup company. I live on a permanently moored widebeam houseboat with garden and decking area. Getting on and off is easy but I always take extra care with the dogs. The garden is secure and I’m in the perfect location for amazing walks in every direction from Hertford lock.
“very nice person and super sitter, gave me old mini daschund a; lot of loving care and attention. Ahmed was very quick at responding to my texts and very helpful and my apartment was left tidy.”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic and comes highly recommended and we will be sure to look her up if needed again. Our dog is elderly and requires daily medication and after initially meeting Maria we were reassured that Rosie would be in good and very capable hands. Throughout our holiday Maria gave us regular updates and photos of Rosie leaving us happy that she was having a great time herself ! Thanks Maria”
About: Since I was young I had experience with various animals. I love dogs. I myself has gained experience / animals in my previous years, I have grown to be a dog lover and cat lover. I have learned special skills especially having a dog of my own, these include behavioural understanding, specialised handling and training enforcement. I am currently and undergrad student in the university of Hertfordshire, aside from studying and my lectures I have a lot of free time on my hands. I have a fence garden at home with two gates in the kitchen and near the garden.

“Haiqing was fab with our dog Rizzo again - great communication and it was so lovely to see lots of photos of Rizzo looking so comfortable :) thanks as ever Haiqing!!”
About: I've had dogs all of my life. I've recently lost my show cocker spaniel in December 2023 named Buttons. I miss him dearly and miss the company of having a dog in my life and home. I have the pleasure of looking after my son's working cocker spaniel Jessie aged just 10 weeks when he is off on holiday. I work in a primary school in Hoddesdon as a teaching assistant and I have lived in Hertford all of my life. I work term time so I am only available in the school holidays and most weekends. I have a fenced garden and a locked outside gate. Dogs can be crated or have the downstairs to themselves. They are allowed on sofas and beds.
“Jo was great. She took the time to meet our puppy before the day she was puppy sitting and was really careful to understand her routine, food etc. Communication was great and she sent lovely photos during the day so we could see that the puppy was having fun. See you again soon, Jo!”

Had such an amazing experience with Giulia- She kept me updated the whole time with lots of photos and regular messages, which really put my mind at ease while we were away. It was so clear how well Hugo was being cared for and how happy he was! Also came home to a super tidy house! which was such a lovely touch and really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. wouldn’t hesitate to use her again—100% recommend! 🐾💛
Jess looked after our dog for the day - she was super responsive, arranged a pre meet to get to know each other beforehand, arrived on time on the day, immediately bonded with our dog who loved her and provided regular pictures and updates throughout the day! Would definitely book Jess in again ☺️
Sherry is a kind and lovely person, always upbeat and happy to help. She took care of Ginny at my house overnight and Ginny was unwell (she's getting old!) but Sherry took it in her stride, keeping her comfortable and sending me updates and pics. Already booked again for next time!
Amin was calm and confident with Lara from the start, and she took to him straight away which really helped us feel at ease. He was easy to communicate with, arrived on time (even a bit early), and was flexible with timings which we really appreciated. He looked after Lara really well during the stay, many walks and plays, he shared photos with us to keep us informed. Lara seemed happy and comfortable. Thank you!
We came home to a clean and tidy house and two very happy dogs who didn’t want Naomi to leave. She had a sudden problem with her car just before the sit but pulled out every stop to make sure she didn’t let us down. Naomi is really lovely, responsible and kind, she’s a wonderful sitter and I can’t recommend her enough.
Lili is quite simply exceptional! I was hesitant to leave my somewhat aloof and (sometimes) nervous greyhound Maisie with anyone I/she didn’t know but Lili was fantastic with her!! I felt very safe leaving her in Lili’s competent, kind and caring hands and Maisie enjoyed all her walks and sticking to her routine. Lili did a meet and greet session a few days before she was coming to stay with Maisie and she wanted to know all about Maisie and her walks, routines, any health issues etc. I felt very confident leaving her with Lili and when I returned the next day both Maisie looked happy and my house looked exactly as I had left it! I would have no hesitation in 100% recommending her.
Thank you so much Nathali for taking on the challenge of having my 4 dogs at short notice! I really appreciated that you visited us, and came on a walk with us before the stay. You were great with the doggies and they liked you straight away. It was really reassuring and lovely to see all the photos of them you sent me while I was away. You’re a superstar X
Jorga was a great help. She took great care of our little Yorkie, Penelope! She stayed in our home for 10 days and was an excellent house guest as well as dog sitter. I’m so happy (and lucky) that I got her as a sitter. Penelope was treated like a princess in her own home. Thank you, Jorga. Don Jaysonnamd Penn appreciate you.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pui Ki (Nicole) took absolutely amazing care of my cat Yuki! From day one, she was communicative, kind, and incredibly attentive. I received daily updates with lots of photos and videos, which made me feel so reassured and connected even from afar. Nicole clearly took the time to understand Yuki’s routines and personality, and it shows—Yuki, who is usually quite reserved, has grown truly affectionate with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Warm, reliable, and genuinely caring—thank you so much, Nicole!
