About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young, from talking care of my uncles over 6" Great Dane when he's on holidays to taking care of my own Yorkie who's got an attitude of a grumpy teenager. Ive walked, bathed, trained all different breeds of dogs and have a lot of patience to work with every dog with every personality! I'm a university student who is in Tuesday to Thursday afternoons. I have a long weekend that's open for walks and drop ins, I'm an early riser! I care for a 8 year old and 2 year old Yorkshire terrier at home along with a falcon. my older dog is reactive and requires more quieter walks so I know how to make sure reactive dogs are still enjoying their walks.
2. Poppy M.
“I cannot recommend Poppy highly enough! It was clear from the start that she had a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. My dog, Blu, absolutely loves her. Poppy has both dog sat and walked for me. During walks, she makes sure Blu gets plenty of exercise and stimulation as he does have a lot of energy. When it comes to dog sitting, Poppy goes above and beyond. She kept me updated with regular photos and message so I always knew Blu was in good hands. Poppy is professional, reliable, and truly passionate about what she does and I am lucky to have found someone who cares for Blu so much.”

5. Kara S.
“I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kara. We have a very tricky ex-rescue terrier, Buddy, who is wary of new people, can be very reactive, and needs a lot of patience and understanding. Kara made the effort to come and visit Buddy before she began her official visits. Buddy was understandably wary of his new visitor but Kara was obviously very experienced and knew how to handle the situation. She wasn’t put off by Buddy’s initial behaviour and agreed to a week’s home visits - she was very accommodating to what we needed. Through the week she kept us updated daily with the most lovely Rover cards and lots of pictures which showed she had achieved the impossible and had formed a relationship with Buddy! She very much took everything at Buddy’s pace and, judging by all the photographs, we are returning home to a much happier dog than when we have had to leave him in kennels in the past. Kara really is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her services or using her again in the future.”
6. Catherine S.
“Catherine has looked after my dog Heidi on several occasions and I have always found her to be reliable and friendly, you can see she clearly loves dogs and Heidi has always come home feeling happy and relaxed. I would have no hesitation in recommending her .”
7. Rhiannon P.
“Rhiannon arrived on time and did a great job looking after my dog. I had many photos from her walk. Would not hesitate to book again :-)”
8. Olivia H.
“Olivia has a natural affinity with animals. Our 4 cats and dog feel safe in her company and love being around her. She is confident when dealing with our chihuahua/ jack Russell cross, who can be very reactive and anxious in some situations. She is very trustworthy and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would highly recommend Olivia as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
9. Joe H.

“Couldn’t recommend her more. Had her to dog sit our 2 playful dogos whilst we were on holiday. They were so well looked after and the house too. Definitely will be booking in again.”
11. Megija C.
“Can’t recommend Meg highly enough. Very friendly and great at handling a high energy dog. Will definitely book again. Thank you”
12. Maria-Christina K.
About: I love dogs. I have two dogs myself and I am looking forward to the opportunity of taking care of more dogs. My dogs enjoy the company of other dogs. Likewise, I like spending time with the dogs and I find it very rewarding. I am interested in the dog’s psychology. I always try to find ways to teach the dog new things by rewarding them. I will take care of your dog as it would be my dog. I love taking the dog out for long walks. I am quite sporty myself and walking with the dog is a way to exercise. I truly believe that it is important to find a dog sitter you can trust same to the idea of hiring a baby sitter. I am happy to meet your dog before you make the decision and see whether I match your needs. As I have a true passion for dogs I feel I would get along with your dog fine.
13. Samantha D.
“Samantha took care of both our dogs on numerous occasions over the years before they both sadly went off over rainbow bridge. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after them both, they got regular walks whilst on their holidays (despite them both being reactive to other dogs meaning they were more of a handful than most- Sam took this in her stride and made sure they still got plenty of excercise) and always came back happy and healthy. I would not hesitate in recommending Samantha for caring for my pets and friends pets in the future.”
14. Jade K.
About: I've grown up around many dogs, cats, horses, and hamsters! any animal and I'm obsessed! I currently have two dogs of my own and I am a keen walker and hiker and will love long or short scenic walks with your doggos! I work from home most of the time so enjoy, long walks around Beacon Park and the canal also has a large back garden for the dogs! The client's needs and pet's needs are important to ensure the pet feels comfortable around me as well so no worries or stress for both parties.

About: I offer professional care for your pet when you are at work, going on holiday or do not have enough time for your pet. I take care of dogs in the owner's house -I go for walks with dogs during which I also play with dogs. During the care of animals, I devote 100% of their attention to them.

Additionally, during walks or visits, I recording video, taking photos so that the owner knows what is happening with his pet. I also have pet first aid and dbs check.

18. Leah P.
“Leah went above and beyond with looking after my Ted! I have been using Leah as my go-to dog sitter for the past year and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention they provide for my furry friend. She is incredibly responsible and reliable, and always make sure to give my dog all the love and attention he needs while I'm away :) One of the things I love about Leah is her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule. She has always been able to accommodate last-minute booking requests, which is a huge relief for someone like me who travels frequently for work. But what really sets Leah apart is their genuine love and affection for dogs. They truly care about the well-being of all the dogs in their care and it shows in the way they interact with them. My dog, who can be a bit shy around new people, warmed up to Leah immediately and I have no doubt that he is well taken care of while I'm away. I highly recommend Leah to anyone in need of a dog sitter. She is a professional, caring, and truly love animals!”
