Sarah was absolutely lovely with our pups. she cared for them very well while we were away. She sent us updates and was so kind to even start our dishwasher which I left half loaded 😅 I absolutely recommend her if you are in need of a dog sitter. Thank you again 😊

About: I have many years experience as a dog owner from childhood and, more recently, having done over 50 petsits since 2020 caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, chickens and the occasional pony/horse. I adore animals and pride myself on ensuring that pets are safe and secure in their own home while their pet parents are absent. I am spotlessly clean and organised and work around the routine of the animals I care for, while ensuring that the home I am staying in is kept immaculately clean and secure. I currently work online as an English language tutor, approximately 3 mornings a week for a total of around 10 hours. This has always worked out well and complimented my pet-caring work as the teaching fits well around caring for animals in their homes. However, I emphasise that I work around the individual needs and routine of the animals I care for as they are the utmost priority. Before accepting a petsit, I make absolutely sure that the 'fit' is right for both me, the home owner and, most importantly, for the animal. If I feel that I can't provide exactly the care that an animal requires, then I will not accept the work. I do this first and foremost because I love animals. I like to make sure that the home/animal owner fills me in completely on what is required to both care for their pets and their home and that everything is in place to ensure confidence from everyone concerned. Once I am certain that I can confidently provide what is required I am prepared to accept a new client.

Sam was excellent with our two dogs. Came home to a lovely tidy home and two very happy sausage dogs. As this was the first time watching them Sam made an effort to come and meet them beforehand which was brilliant. Thank you again!

About: Hi, I’m Danielle. I have my own rescue dog Honey, who can be fear reactive and has separation anxiety and I've found a gap in sitters who are keen to take on these dogs... I'd love to help out others! Prior to moving out and rescuing Honey with my partner, I have had dogs my whole life ranging from Labs, Boxers, Frencies, Lhasa Apsos to Chihuahua's so have a range of experience with different exercise, temperaments and attitude! I’ve also had experience with cats from a young age. I have experience with reactivity, resource guarding, territorial behaviours and general dog behaviours too. I’m happy to take on any dog as long as I have all the information needed. I'm extremely understanding and happy to work with dogs who are barky, cheeky, and may just need some more TLC/attention :) I have my own vehicle so can take dogs further out for walks or secure fields if needed. Please do reach out with any queries or if time needed isn’t listed as I can move things around with notice :) I work from home 3-4 days a week. I'm more than happy to spend my day in your home whilst I work - giving your dog attention where I can - but also being around for them when you can't be. Dogs with separation anxiety, I completely understand sometimes just having someone there so you can get to appointments, work, go to the shops, even go for a coffee is a life saver! However if you need someone to give continuous care (i.e. I can't work at same time) please use my weekend availability. I'm happy to spend overnights if needed and can offer my free weekends too :) As my dog has reactivity, I wouldn't take your dog to my own home. However, in your home I'm happy and keen to replicate any routines you have as well as keep your house tidy & as you left it! Any rules, suggestions or set routines you have with your dog will be followed. If the time you need me is during the week I'd need internet connection as I do WFH :)

Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone wanting a friendly caring pet sitter who really does look after your dogs! Hannah watched my dogs over the weekend and spoiled them like her own. I was sent updates and pictures and dogs looked so happy out on their little adventures. Definitely would book Hannah again very trustworthy and comfortable around large dogs.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, often multiple pets at the same time (including feeding, bathing, walking, and more importantly playing with them). I love giving cats and dogs the love and care they deserve and find happiness in looking after them. I currently work full-time as a cyber security consultant which is a fully remote job so I have all the time working from the comforts of my home. I have most evenings and weekends free. I have my own house with its own private fenced backyard. I live in a great estate and live mere seconds from a large park which is great for dog walking and playing!

I can highly recommend Julie as first class dog sitter. She was the perfect house guest coming the day before i left so she could get to know Alfie and I could go away with complete peace of mind. She is a really lovely, friendly person and importantly quickly got the measure of my quirky Alfie. I got a wonderful welcome home from him but he then slept the rest of the evening so had obviously had great walks. Alfie had an amazing holiday with interesting walks, runs and trips out. Julie is an excellent communicator and sent me some gorgeous photographs. Julie is completely focussed on the let’s she cares for and has a genuine love for them. She took great care of my home. Anyone booking Julie to care for their pets will be very lucky and will want her back again and again.

Estelle and her family pet sat my small dog Casper and I couldn't have found a more loving home to care for him while I was away. They adopted him into their home and, given how attached he was when I came to get him, evidently showered him lots of love and cuddles. Their two dogs were absolutely brilliant with him. Casper, being so small, isn't keen of bigger dogs playing him. However, her two dogs not only picked up on this and gave him his space but I actually saw Casper's confidence around bigger dogs improve after his stay. Estelle gave me plenty of lovely updates and photos/videos. It was really reassuring to go away and know, not only that my dog was being cared for, but that he was having a fun little holiday of his own!
